How to move 6 yrs worth of Sam's transactions fr one credit card account to another?

TPerk

For 6 years have had to go to Syncrony site to export Sams CCard transactions. Have now discovered that adding account and selecting "Sams Clubworld Elite Mastercard" as the institution connects to same account but with Express Connect capability. Set up asked to to accept account as "new" into Quicken. It did not give me the option to "link' account to my existing Sams account. So now I have TWO accounts for Sams CCard.

I would like to somehow transfer hundreds of transactions from old account to new. I tried selecting numerous accounts for typical transfer, but Q would not do it.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Greg,

Searched but could not find this FAQ. Also did not realize transferring hundreds could be this simple. All done successfully!

You da man!
Thank you

I might have messed this up myself. After copying trans from old to new file, I removed old by "deleting" some and "cutting" others. Never pasted them anywhere. So as I said I restored Bk Up. Super Val then ran fine. So...I added the new account again, and copied and pasted trans again, and DELETED old. Looks good. Super Val looks good. I'd say mission accomplished.

Thanks for your help

@UKR, I believe the OP found the FAQ and was able to move the transactions successfully.

Daggone It! Everything looked good until I re-started Q and saw lots of problems. Ran Super Val, reported corrupt QEL. Messed around for a while but ended up restoring 2 day old backup.

For me I usually ran into problems with transfer transactions that were in any of the accounts.

This is different than a normal moving of transactions between accounts.
