Is anyone else having problems linking up an American express account? I called QB two weeks ago and they said they'd fix it. No progress. Frustrating.

I have been able to link up to two other AM Ex cards, but not my new one. I was on the phone for 45 minutes with QB rep.  Not very useful as it turns out.

I am unable to do it as well.  I hope we can get this fixed soon!  There is no option to link.. I have the account in the COA but that's as far as I can get.  I just set up a dummy register to record transactions.
