AMEX reauthorization of closed account

shidden

This is extremely annoying. I have an AMEX account that is closed in Quicken and with AMEX but each time I want to updated transactions in Quicken, it asks me to reauthorize the closed account. And the only choice to get past this is select "Remind me next time". This has been going on for months and yet it is still not fixed. If an account is closed in Quicken, its just plain stupid that Quicken is wanting to reauthorize the account.

Is the account really marked closed in Quicken? Not just hidden.
How long ago did you mark the account closed in Quicken? There once was a bug that would mark accounts closed in Quicken, but not properly deactivate it and leave some flags set instead of resetting them.
