Change to American Express connections.

Has anyone else had a problem with the new American Express connection with QuickBooks Online? I was forced to change my connection to our Business Amex and now the information is coming over differently. I used to be able to see the sub accounts and pull in banking information by card number (by each employee's different card number). With the new connection, it's pulling all charges in under the parent account and I cannot separate.

 

I spent 3 hours on a call last week with someone from customer service who wasn't even understanding what I was saying and didn't help at all.

 

HELP!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

I recognize the importance of resolving this matter as soon as possible. However, an investigation (INV-83474) into American Express accounts importing transactions from the wrong accounts in QuickBooks Online (QBO) is ongoing. Rest assured that our engineers are working hard to address this issue and come up with a solution.

 

In the meantime, I recommend contacting our QBO support to be added to the list of impacted customers. This way, you can receive status updates on the investigation via email. 

 

To do that:

 

  1. Go to the Help icon and select the Search tab.
  2. Click Contact Us.
  3. Provide a short description of your concern and select Continue.
  4. Choose between Chat with us or Have us call you.

 

Moving forward, you can reconcile your transactions in QBO to ensure that your books are balanced and that there are no duplicate transactions.

 

We would appreciate your patience in this matter. Please let me know if you have any further questions about online banking by leaving a comment below. We will respond to you as soon as possible. Keep yourself safe!

Since I have now had two different calls with two different support reps talking about this problem, I would expect that they should contact me. I don't have time to get back on a call again. This has taken hours out of my work week already not to mention totally putting a stop to my financial reporting while this gets sorted.

I have been having this same issue since around April 25th. I have called QB 3x over it, and I've spent hours on the phone each time. I am still unaware of any resolution. Each call, QB has told me they've added me to the list of affected customers, but anytime I've followed up with a subsequent call that tell me I wasn't on the list. What is the status on the resolution? This is having a huge impact.

Hi there, @BENT2707.

 

Thank you for contacting our Support Team to follow up on the previous report. I'll take note of your interaction with them. Changing bank connections that lead to issues for a long time is inconvenient, so I'm here to share an update.

 

The status of INV-83474 about the American Express transactions importing to the wrong accounts has been closed. The resolution was disconnecting the accounts posting incorrectly and reconnecting using the American Express Corporate or Personal Credit Card (US) options.

 

The list of affected users receives notifications about the progress and fixes available. Since you haven't received any resolution, I recommend contacting our Support Team again to share the investigation number. They can verify if you're added to the list and provide further instructions. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Help icon and choose Search.
  2. Click the Contact Us button and enter your concern.
  3. Press Continue.

 

Visit this page for other ways of connecting with our representatives: QuickBooks Online Support. It contains the contact number you can use to call us directly.

 

 If you'd like to import transactions manually, refer to this article: Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online. Just make sure to exclude duplicate transactions once the connection is good to keep your accounts accurate.

 

This reference will assist you with reviewing downloaded bank and credit card transactions and putting them in the correct accounts: Categorize and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please know that helping you link your American Express account is my pleasure. If you need help categorizing transactions, add your concerns here. Stay safe.

I have disconnected all my Amex accounts previously, and I am still unable to reconnect them to their individual cards. I also tried calling support for the 4th time on the issue. It promised a call in 20 minutes. It came in 30. I got a call from a robot that said it was connecting me to a live person that never answered. I waited 30 minutes, and the call cut off from me.

I have over 20 QBO accounts and over 50 American Express cards.   About 1/2 of the cards stopped syncing with American Express at the end of October. 

 

This is an ongoing issue where QBO and American Express do not play well together.  We need to get a mediator in there so that this stops happening.  It is a nightmare to have to download and upload transactions from 20+ accounts every week.

FYI, it has been two weeks since my post and NONE of my 50 Amex cards are connecting at all.  We have to manually download each one.  This is horribly messy, time consuming and rife with errors.   I am perplexed as why you cant work this out with American Express?  Please help!

Mine stopped syncing on 11/14. It shows error code 350 though. I have them all under one parent AMEX account and not individual. When I try to fix the connection it says Sorry, we aren't set up to connect this bank or financial institution yet. Got to be kidding me.....

HEY QUICKBOOKS PEOPLE!   My 50+ American Express cards in 23 QBO accounts are still not syncing.  I have contacted everyone possible and I just hear "we are working on it".  This is completely unacceptable.   Most have not synced since 10/31/2023.   Nothing at all since 11/14/2023.

 

Please fix your relationship with American Express!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, they fixed it but never let us know.  You need to use American Express (Delegate) connection.  I found this randomly last week & it worked!  So much for all the tickets I filed - that system is broken for sure.

I had a similar issue today with Amex, account was linked but lost connections a few months ago, when reconnecting it bring other transactions from another Amex, I tried to reconnect several times, finally I created a new Amex account and reconnect, that did the trick, then I just merged the credit card accounts.
