I'm glad you like it. I don't. Different people use financial
management software for different reasons. I use it so I DON'T have to
enter every transaction manually. If I wanted to do that, I would just
use Excel. Clearly, you and I have different points of view on this.

OK everyone. Here is how you can get ALL your credit card and bank
detail transactions into Money WITHOUT paying the credit card or bank
one extra cent. It will even allow you to avoid all the error
corrections you currently have to do when something goes wrong with the
download.

Every evening just take five minutes of your time and go to your Money
program. Enter all of your daily credit card and bank check & deposit
transactions into Money manually. It is really easy. You can even enter
your regular scheduled transactions with just a click or two.

When you get into the habit of doing it yourself you will find you are
happier because YOU are in control. You will find that your Money
financial program is really accurate and more understandable because
YOU understand what you did to get the information into Money.

Try it, you may really LIKE IT.

Citicards do download nicely through direct OFX (and from the website).
I've had no trouble there. Anyway, I closed my BoA credit card
account partly because of this and partly because I wasn't using it
anyway. MBNA has the same problem because BoA took it over. And I
can't close that one because I'm using it. It's not downloading from
the website at MBNA or at BoA.

one of their cards.

BOA has recently (about a week ago) installed a patch that will not let
credit card only accounts download into money. I spoke with several
different techs yesterday from BOA before I was able to get this
information. Apparently, only checking account holders who pay the
$10.00 (approx) fee per month were suppose to be able to download
through MS Money. However, they said that many credit card only
accounts have been able to download without a fee.... they had been
getting around this block. BOA patched this a week ago. When I called
yesterday, the tech had already had 8 calls about it that morning.
Because of all the calls, this tech was taking it to her supervisor.
Perhaps the more complaints about this problem, the better for getting
it fixed.

On another note, credit card holders are also not able to see past
statements, but checking account holders can access this as well. You
can see past transactions, but not statements as you would receive them
that tell your statement balance at the end of the month. Again, I
complained that credit card only accounts were not treated the same as
checking account holders.

And to top it all off, I had just installed Internet Explorer 7 and
many of their webpages are really messed up, such as the customer
service page. You can't see the first words in the hyperlinks. Tech
said they were aware of that problem and it would be fixed when
Internet Explorer 7 came out of beta.

If it wasn't for the credit cared benefits I receive from them, I would
drop them like a hot potato.
