The receipt handling process is head and shoulders above everyone else, with OCR that pulls data out of the receipts and pre-populates your transaction, the ability to send in receipts by email, and the ability to snap (or email) receipts now and book them later, so you don't have to stop and enter a whole transaction at the gas pump or in line at the hardware store.

Market tucked in Dixie National Forrest and my rental has been booked pretty solid throughout the shoulder season. 1 hour away from both Zion, and Bryce Canyon national parks so good centralized location for those looking to see both.
