Newbie questions plus credit card syncing issues

Hello,
I'm new to quicken. I'm not finding quicken terribly intuitive. I think i need to understand how the budgeting tool works. I'm surprised that I can't find a quicken tutorial on YouTube that isn't basically an ad. Seems like a missed opportunity. Can anyone recommend a decent tutorial they have had success with?

My other issue is less with quicken and more with a financial institution. I have a credit union credit card, and they do not allow syncing via quicken. I use this card for almost everything and then pay it off each month. There are far too many transactions for it to be practical to put in manually. Since a large percentage of my outflows are on this card, its undermining the value i get out of quicken. Is there an alternative way to import transactions or is switching cards the only real way to deal with this? I have quicken premier for windows if that information is needed.

Thanks!
