I enjoyed downloading without errors for a few days. This AM's Scheduled Update set a personal record with 22 failed downloads. Advanta, Cap One, Chase (some), Citi (some), WaMu cards affected.

Bob, how do you connect? Not dial-up, right? What are your speeds, do you have problems with websites?
Chase seems to continually change things in the connections (on their end), so I don't trust their downloads too much. Citi is often slow in transmitting transactions from their internal use dataservers to the Quicken one (I see transactions about a day earlier on the website than in Quicken). I haven't had problems with Citi checking and savings downloads. My Citi MC is not that great - I use Discover more (and others). I canceled my Citbank administered Sears MC, since I got a call questioning the 9K I had recently used it for (I hardly ever use it).

Comcast, speed is not a problem for me. I just noticed that the Chase web site is down, and all my Chase cards failed.
Also, just got a call from Chase about fraudulent charges on my Regal MasterCard. Only use that card at Regal theaters, and somebody put 3 charges of >$200 each on it. Expensive movie tickets.
Haven't been to the movies since July, 2007, so Chase picked up on the unusual activity ;-)
Bob P.S. I wonder if you could call Citi and have that Sears card converted to a more useful Citi card, like a PremierPass

Good!
I occasionally go to Sears (pants, tools), so an extra discount with the Sears card was welcome. I don't really know what made me use the Sears card last, at Kmart. Now it is no ore. A loss for Sears, maybe, not for me.
IN the name of SANITY, why would ANYONE have so many credit card accounts? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Exactly my question.

In my very personal opinion the plethora of available credit cards is confusing, and prone to abuse. I have plenty of cards at the moent. The "Sears" mastercard (administered by Citibank) was just to take advantage of any Sears-specific deals, so it is no great loss as I always can sign up for another card if I really, really want the deal that is offered.
The main source of abuse AFAICT is the fact that all your rates onall your credit would go up to 20% if you have the least little bit of a problem with just one of them, at least according to the fine print in most. Better keep things manageable.
