I do not see a way to use direct connect to update my Costco Citi Bank account.

I have deactivated/reactivated and never see the option for direct connect. It defaults to express connect. I do not see a tab for advanced options

I'm hooked up via Direct Connect for my Costco card but it looks like DC is no longer available:

65994    65994    65994    Costco Anywhere Visa Card by Citi    https://online.citibank.com/US/Welcome.c    NA    https://online.citibank.com/US/JPS/portal/Index.do    ACTIVE                   BANKING,CREDIT,ACCOUNTINFO&EXP-WEB-CONNECT    NOT_QBP    NA

I guess I'm grandfathered in (thank goodness) but newer users will only get EWC as their method.

I have several different credit cards managed through Citi and they all used to be DC for many, many years but a couple of years or so ago a couple of them flipped to EWC.  As a result, I don't use those cards anymore.

Wow.  I just tried this in a new data file and sure enough the only thing I can get is Express Web Connect.
You might be able to get back to Direct Connect if you restore from a backup.

Bottom line is that people shouldn't deactivate this account from now on.

Ummm ... may I ask why you are not using Citi Cards as the Financial Institution?
I've been using that ever since I got my US Costco VISA card years ago and it offers Direct Connect.

Duh, Oh stupid of me, I forgot all this!
I didn't even look at what my original account is setup for.

Yes you need to be using Citi Cards as the financial institution to get Direct Connect!
