Quicken Bill Pay...going from Quicken Mac 2007 to Quicken Premier 2019

Question

Hey gang-

Looks like I'll soon be making the move from Quicken Mac 2007 to Quicken Mac 2019.   I am a longtime Quicken Billpay user ($9.95/month) and it looks like Quicken Premier would be a good value for me.

My question is will I need to open a new Quicken Bill Pay account and close my old one?  Or will Quicken Bill Pay somehow know to stop charging me the $9.95/month if I go Premier?

Thanks!

Yes, you will have to cancel your old Quicken Bill Pay account and open a new one. Judging by what others have posted here, it can be a difficult process. If your bank offers Bill Pay, I would suggest using that instead.

That would be the easiest way.

Actually @Dave, this is what it says in the Bill Pay section of the Quicken for Mac help files:Switching from Quicken for Windows or Mac 2007 to this version of Quicken

If you’ve been using Quicken for Windows or Quicken for Mac 2007 with Quicken Bill Pay, you must create a new account for this version of Quicken. Quicken for Windows/Mac 2007 uses an entirely different system and website than the new Quicken. Make sure you are using the right one by going to quickenbillpay.com first and then choosing following the steps to get started or go directly to the Switching to Quicken 2018 Membership article.

If you set up a new Quicken Bill Pay account, remember to cancel your old service or you will continue to be billed from the old account.

So it looks like you’ll need to set up a new Bill Pay account either way, so in your case it might be more cost effective to go with Quicken Premier. Just don’t forget to cancel the old bill pay account either way.
