From: Targ on 4 Mar 2010 01:00 Looking up Citibank at http://web.intuit.com/personal/quicken/search.cfm?type=basic&qwid=qw1500&qmid=qm1501&qbid=qb1600&qbmid=qbm1600 shows a red lightening bolt =direct connect. Yet during setup it seemed to be web connect. Citi Cards shows both blue and red lightning bolts Paypal does not show up in the listings, but when I put in a test username and password, it seemed to send that username and password *somewhere*. Is there a way to be confident during online setup in Quicken 2010 that I am only doing direct connect? I would really like to have an unambiguous way to not do web connect by mistake.

I assume there is some notice that you are signing up for that fee, but maybe I am being naive. One more thing to worry about.

I have been using direct connect for my Citibank accounts since eons. Citibank does charge a $9.95/mo fee, and I now have a need to park money at them and use their mastercard in order to get to the minimum balance required for waving that fee. For my "everything counts" account, that means 20K!! I resent that and aim to get rid of Citibank, but so far I haven't gotten aroundtuit. In hindsight, I should have never started it, but then, at that time I had a Citibank mortgage that counted. And Citibank's site is arguably one of the best. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |
