American Express QBDT Bank Feed Update

BROKEN BROKEN BROKEN: I'm a ten year user of Amex and QB DeskTop. I dreed the monthly Amex reconcilation. The process is never easy and it do not work consistently and smoothly. I'd spoken to Amex and QB and each custmoer service representative politely says it is not their issue. 

I have an Amex account set up in the Chart of Accounts, and follow these steps: 

1. Open on-line feed center. Exclusive use. 

2. Bank and Credit Cards (click on the arrows in circle)

3 QB message "connection complete" , then 'Updating" (nothing happens) 

4.  Go to File, Utilities, Import, Webconnect, (Asked to select bank: Use Existing QB Account, or Create a New Account. Does NOT Recognize teh Amex account I have used for years.

5. Updated the connect to the bank by Activating and Deactivating the Credit Card NUMEROUS times. 

 

Sometimes this works for a month--then back to the hellish time of trying to figure it out again. 

 

Please advise

American Express QBDT Bank Feed Update

I hear your sentiments, @safoglio. I'm here to provide troubleshooting solutions about AMEX bank feeds not working in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

I suggest ensuring you have connected to the correct American Express (AMEX) Credit card account to continue downloading the latest transactions from online banking services. You'll have to select  American Express Card QBDT since the bank feed for American Express @work isn't available now, and we're working with American Express to fix this.

 

If you haven't refreshed your connection for Express Web Connect already, please follow the steps outlined in this article to ensure the latest transactions will be automatically downloaded to your bank feeds: Refresh your connection for Express Web Connect online banking.

 

If everything is accurately selected, I suggest contacting our Technical Support Team. I understand you've already reached out to them. However, it would be best to contact them again. They have the tools to look into your account and perform a screen-sharing session to investigate this behavior further.

 

We're always here in the Community to help if you have other questions about managing bank transactions in QBDT. We're just around to help. Stay safe.
