Can't connect the credit card I keep getting for days: Something unexpected happened and we can’t connect to American Express Try again in a few hours. (590).......

I've got some details about error 590 and the troubleshooting you can take to get past it, Bill. 

This error indicates an unexpected issue at the bank that QuickBooks can't fix, and the specific cause is unclear.

Generally, such errors resolve themselves within 48 hours. We suggest waiting a few hours to see if it clears up and then try to reconnect your bank.

If the error persists, consult your bank for any ongoing issues. If the bank issues are resolved but the problem continues, please contact our support team to ensure QuickBooks is operating correctly.

Additionally, once your connection looks good, here are a few things you might want to know about fixing downloaded bank transactions.

Don't hesitate to inform us if you have any other concerns about connecting a bank in QuickBooks Online. We'll be here to assist. Take care.

No, the issue still hasn't been resolved. As for the problem of self-correcting in 48 hours, this has been happening for a month. I reached out to AMEX, and they say it is a QuickBooks communication error and I should try reestablishing the connection. Obviously, I have done this many times without success. The auto download of Amex data has worked seamlessly for a couple of years, and other cards still download fine. Not sure were to go from here.
