amex transactions keep downloading even after having reconciled account

Everytime I update my american express credit card account via the automatic update, it keeps downloading the transactions even if I have already reconciled them

Hi @jcg

If you are saying that you have:

1) first - entered transactions manually and then reconciled the account (before downloading transactions);
2) and then (after the above), you have downloaded your AMEX credit card transactions (which transactions - you have already entered manually in the account register - and then also reconciled). 
3) the conclusion that the Quicken application would logically reach - is that those transactions must be new transactions, since (logically) no one would reconcile the account prior to downloading recent transactions and letting Quicken match them to potential manual entries.

The only exception to the above reasoning could be a case where one downloads transactions and then resets the account so that Quicken cannot detect the fact that certain transaction ID's have previously been downloaded.

That's about all I can think of that could cause this behavior.
