Discover Card account won't update / CC-508 Error

Beijing Mac

I have a Discover Card account in my Quicken file and just recently (past few days I recall) it was not updating.  I attempted to fix it this morning and was unsuccessful.

The error code in Quicken is CC-508.  "Wait.  Your financial institution has a request."

I have attemped several times to reset or set up my One Step Update for this account and continue to get the CC-508 error.

Is anyone else having issues with Discover Card?  I didn't see any recent posting.

From what I understand, Discover credit cards can be downloaded using Direct Connect instead of Express Web Connect.  I would switch to Direct Connect instead always fighting the with the unrealizable Express Web Connect.

this is the result I get after validating my data file and deleting all cookies.  I have logged on to the Discover site many times and there are no new pages or pop-ups that require my attention.  I also removed the card account number in the account details, closed quicken and reopened Quicken after a 30-60 sec delay and tried to activate one step update.  Same result.  

Interesting thing is that I have 2 other Discover cards that I update in Quicken (family members, different accound numbers) and these 2 cards are syncing without any issue.  

Am unable to connect with either option, only way currently to download activity is the old-fashioned way to log into the FI website and download a file with activity, then upload that into Quicken.

Did you do it this way?
First deactivate the account for downloading (Account Details -> Online Services tab).
Tools -> Add Account
Type Discover

Select Advanced Options.


Select Direct Connect and continue from there.  When you get logged in and it shows you the account(s) make sure you link the online account to the one in Quicken.
