Re: Mr. Having your bank info on your cell phone I thought, has always been a no-no. I also have used Quicken for many many years just as a Check Register. Used it at work before retiring and also at home. Have never used it as a Bill Pay.
Currently have Quicken Am 75 and wonder if I should switch to Mint or one of the others before Quicken bites the dust? Or, should I start using Excel as my Check Register? Products can last a long time! I enter my own transactions manually and its easy to have utility bills etc.
I would like to be able to access Quicken from my phone, so hopefully the mobile app will be a plus. Looks like a great post about the Quicken annual subscription.
You have clarified everything about Quicken Interesting euphemism since I bought a product based on its promised capabilities and Quicken has decided to turn off those features. That sounds like a breach of contract to me. If Quicken is open, it automatically reads the file and updates the transactions.
Finally, I believe the QFX format was originally created to somehow capture fees the financial institution paid Intuit. Anyone know how that works in the post-Intuit world? I am using Quicken Deluxe Will the new plan continue to support for the three years that was proffered? So they might provide phone support but also roll out product improvements that are not extended back to earlier versions.
No idea if there are any plans for something like that with Quicken but it happens all the time with programs from Microsoft, Adobe, and many others. The only reason I still had it was that I had purchased it using a gift card I had. It amazes me every time I find out that Wordperfect still exists. Who knows, maybe some nearly lifeless husk of Quicken will still live on in twenty years.
I really appreciate your expertize. You have clairified most everything I needed to know regarding the changes. I currently run Deluxe. I have no problem with them making a profit, in fact I want them to. All the historic data is there, I just get a blank for quote and so the market value is zero, as if I sold it all. I tried a fresh install on another computer but as soon as updates ran the same stocks were dropped.
But the errors that I had before are continuing; the process of connecting to the new bill payment service did not go well; the program still has a long delay when it starts up; and it might not be the most important thing but I kind of hate the new color scheme. Thank you for explaining what your impressions are. I do not use the cloud or mobile device for quicken, I travel with a laptop to clients and use a redundant back up protocol of backing up on the laptop, a jump stick and then nightly to carbonite.
I tried the online Quicken a few years ago to see if I could save files and then use a tablet to visit clients to lighten my load but the desktop and mobile did not work together. I found this in the FAQ at support. Billing and Account Management How many people can use Quicken? Anyone you provide with your Quicken ID and password may use Quicken; however, note that they will also have access to your subscription and billing information and any synced mobile data, along with any data files on the computer s they have access to.
Your subscription is tied to the Quicken ID you used when you purchased or activated Quicken, not your computer. As a member, you can create as many data files as you need, and sync multiple data files to your mobile device with your Quicken ID. Data files…. Could you please define data file?
It sounds like Quicken works like it always has: you can create multiple. QDW files, each one separate. I have heard that the new model requires a subscription for each company file. I am a book keeper for senior citizens, each client has a Q file.
Feedback I am hearing from others who have upgraded to the Q18 is that they are not able to download transactions as Quicken is requiring a new subscription for each Quicken file. Any truth to this?
Could it be true? That would be really aggressive. Let me know if you get a firm answer. Yikes the free bill pay means start over.
Switching to Quicken Membership from Quicken Windows or earlier? Follow the following steps to get the latest version of Bill Pay. Keep in mind that your bank may need up to ten days to validate your Quicken Bill Pay account. Activate the payment account on the quickenbillpay. Typically, this will be the billing account you set up during enrollment but it can also be a manual account. Cancel Your Previous Bill Pay Plan Once your new bill pay account is ready, make sure to cancel your old bill pay account so that you are not charged for the same bills again.
You can reach us at Learn More.. Do the math better yet Quicken Take a bold step. Divide up the subscription over 12 months and call it the new service fee. No micro-deposits ever appeared. After quite a long time, I got an email with instructions to send lots of documents by postal mail.
Thanks for the info! Good article. Still using and will not update until necessary, not too happy on this new subscription model, but for good or for bad, there are not comparable options.
I actually had never heard of it up till now. You mentioned that you already got a one year membership. So, I suppose that you would recommend it? And in any case, wait a bit for bug fixes. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. J Cole on February 4, at am. Why was this article not helpful?
