Citi Bank is still not downloading

sun cube

My Costco card through Citi Bank has not downloaded any transactions since April 23. I no longer get the message to try later, I just don't get any downloads. When will this be fixed?

Are you trying to connect with Quicken Connect? It's working fine for me with Direct Connect. See this:

Choosing Direct Connect

Mac 2020 Version 5.16.1 (Build 516.33903.100): I cannot download from Costco Citibank. I get Partial Download (-28) 40 new transactions downloaded ( there may be more transactions download) CP_SCRTPT_ERROR:ccscrape.101:General error. Layout not available.
On 5/18/2020 I went through the process of shutting off the connection, deleting the password in Keychain and then establishing the Citibank connection. It downloaded a lot of duplicate transactions that I had to manually cleanup. The the next day it didn't work and hasn't worked since. I have citibank credential checking turned on for questions that need to answered. on 5/18 Quicken prompted me through the questions. that was the last time I was asked the questions and the last time it worked. What's wrong?

Asking again: are you using Quicken Connect or Direct Connect?

Bosco

Direct connect is greyed out for Costco Anywhere Visa Card by Citi. Today I reset the connect and entered my ID and password . The I was prompted for my account questions. After answering the two questions it looked like it was going to work but I got the same error.

RickO

Ahah! That's the problem. For the Costco Anywhere Visa, you should use FI Name "Citi Cards", NOT FI "Costco Anywhere Visa Card by Citi". The former works with Direct Connect and is reliable and free. Give that a try.

Quicken Direct didn't work. Got Oops! Error message.
Then I tried Quicken Connect and was asked the two questions, answered those and then it asked two more secrete questions. Then it downloaded transactions! thank you! It worked for a couple of years as the Costco Anywhere Visa, then became intermittent. Hopefully this will consistently work.

Citi Bank Visa download through Quicken Connect still not working consistently. Got the 101 error today.

My Costco Visa card is also set up with financial institution listed as Citi Cards using Direct Connect.  It is downloading transactions consistently and retrieving the online bill as well.  The only issue is the PDF of the bill download is delayed for about a week from when the bill amount is updated.

When I try Citi Cards FI and Direct Connect I get Quicken error "oops. We're having a problem. Quicken cannot communicate with Citi Cards." OFX error #13504.

Here is the fix to using Citi Cards FI with Quicken Connect when Direct Connect doesn't work. Log into your Citi Visa account and click Profile>More Settings>Manage Desktop Apps>Add Access. Follow instructions to setup Quicken for Citi Cards>Quicken Connect within the next 10 minutes to add Quicken to you Citi Card account Active IDs list. Then it worked for me.
