Setting up historic repeating payments/card subs

I’m having a minor issue with setting up a transaction through a pot as a repeating payment. I’ve got a couple of transactions in the last few days for £8.50 via PayPal to the same payee and for the same services; there is one from Monday 29/9/25, and one Wednesday 1/10/25. The Monday is a regular transaction I would like to account for (and the Wednesday a one-off), and so open that transaction and toggle ‘repeating payment’, and select weekly.

However, there seems to be a little confusion in the system, because it then enters repeating payments as every Wednesday instead - I’m assuming since the last matching transaction is on that date, despite my having selected a previous one to ensure the weekday is correct.

I’m aware the simple solution will simply be to wait until I make a payment on the correct day and set it up then (since I didn’t make one this most recent Monday), but thought it worth flagging this odd behaviour.

That’s because the merchant is PayPal, not anything else, so it can’t really assign what it needs to.

You’d be best placed using a monzo virtual card to Pot.

Yeah, that’s a fair point—annoyingly not possible in this case, so I’ll see how adding it again when I make a regular transaction goes.
