Sam's Club (Synchrony) transaction downloading as .qbo file instead of .qfx

I've been using Quicken for Windows for >10years and I download my transactions daily from a multitude of financial institutions, including Synchrony Bank. For the past few weeks, the downloads from my Sam's Club MC (Synchrony Bank) have been in .qbo (Quickbooks) format and will not import to Quicken. I called Synchrony tech support and they told me they are aware of this. I also tried an explicit Quickbooks download and this downloaded as a .qif file. Anyone else experiencing this?

    In a similar situation. I am about done with Synchrony!

    I also have this problem. It's the same with the Lowes credit card.

    Have each of you tried initiating the download at the website, rather than initiating from within Q?

    That doesn't always help, but sometimes it "shakes loose" the cobwebs and allows thing to proceed normally thereafter.

    I gave up on trying to set up Synchrony one step downloads from Quicken a long time ago. I always go to the Synchrony website and manually download the transactions for import into Quicken. This behavior started a few weeks ago. It was fine before then.

    Hello All,

    We appreciate you all for letting us know about this issue.

    Unfortunately, since this is an issue on the financial institution's side, it will need to be escalated on their end. However, we will have an Alert posted regarding this soon.

    Thank you!

    I agree. This need to be escalated on the Synchrony side. I contacted their tech support the first time it happened. Their response was that they were aware of the issue and were working on it. This was a few weeks ago. Any pressure Quicken can put on them would be helpful. Thanks.

    I called Amazon/ Synchrony today and the technical support stated that it was on Quicken side and they couldn't fix it.

  • Yay! My Quicken exports from Synchrony (Sam's Club) were in the proper format (.QFX) today. Looks like Synchrony finally fixed the issue. Hopefully, this is fixed for everyone. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 😎
