R42.21 - Amex OL-294-A error.

crabassa

Yes, me too.
I downloaded a backup and the account is still off, messing up the whole file.
Plus I have another file.. same thing.

When did the simple reality of no new transactions become an "error"?  The answer is after updating to the latest patch R42.21.  Now I have two AmEx accounts with OL-294-A and three Chase accounts get CC-501.  The "error" in the error message detail is that there are no new transactions to review.  I verified and that's true, there a few pending transactions but no new processed transactions.  This is not an "error".

Same issue. Started two days ago.

Thanks @RDA Yet something else to sit tight on. Chase, now AMEX and I have a hunch Fidelity stock holdings boroke yesterday. Tonight will confirm and if so, another thread to start and monitor.

This is getting old....

No, this does not yet work. You can deactivate the account access without issue. But you cannot reactivate them. You get error OL-294-A when attempting to reactivate.

The Amex issue began immediately after the latest update. So annoying, and there was no announcement at all from Quicken about the issue.

Not so @Mark Pearce. AMEX started at leats a day if not two before the latest update for me and several others who have posted the same. Coincidence, but AMEX not caused by this update.

I think in the grand scheme of this issue it tracts the same mess as the Schwab issue.  It took a long, long time to get corected and in the end nobody took ownership of the failures. So it is futile to try to definitively place blame when the solution should be the only goal. GOOD LUCK....

The AMEX instructions state that you can use Direct Connect. My connection is already set up as Direct Connect and I'm getting the download error as well.

Exact same issue with American Express

SWLevine

I have AMEX Direct Connect, also...worked seamlessly for ages...updated Quicken, and now getting the error!

I have tried removing and adding back my American Express account with correct User ID and password to know avail. Please help. I am able to login to my American Express directly with no issues. This has worked correctly for years. Suddenly BOOM I started getting this error.

Yep. Started happening 8/1/2022.

I've been having the same error for a few days now. VERY frustrating. I have reported it as well. And, yes, I have the latest version update.

Richard174

My last successful update was on 07/29/2022.  Every sync failed since then.

colevalleydave

I've got nothing to contribute other than to add my name here as a recipient of the OL-294 error after updating to R42.21so the Quicken team knows the severity and impact of this bug...

Add one more user to list OL0294-A errors with AMEX credit card, but not with a separate AMEX savings account.

Tom Tolles

I use a Mac (not Windows) and I was unable to connect today as well. I changed the connection type from Direct Connect to Quicken Connect and I was able to connect. In addition, the connection now recognized the Main account (A platinum card) as well as the two separate gold cards that are part of the same account.

John Robinson

Same as everyone else... OL-294-A issue...

I just tried again and was able to reconnect my Amex account to Online Services via Direct Connect and downloads are now working.

mrzookie

Ditto that. I got a connection at 7:30 EDT. First one in 2 days.

bmciance

I just ran a one step update and Amex worked fine.  I didn't have to reconnect.  Seems that something got fixed somewhere.

Bob.

It is, indeed, working again.

AllenK

Agree, working again. Have 2 American Express cards and both working. However, I needed to deactivate then reactivate both. But all is working once more.

Stu

Ditto for me.  Deactivated the Amex account.  Did activation online set up; worked ok.  Did online update; worked ok.  It says it downloaded 1800 transactions but fortunately they didn't show up!   They would have been repeats, anyway.  First success inn 3 days.

lagunajim

working again now.  yeah.  until the next time.

tkbitterman

Thanks Frankx!
It's working! Thanks for the quick response!
