OL-293-A on Discover Credit Card

I am not having any problem connecting or logging in to my Discover Account.

I do not use the Quicken Downloads. I am logging in using IE8.

Have you tried updating the account from within Quicken? For some reason the scheduled updates break and the only way to fix scheduled updates is to do an individual update for that account.

Same problem for days now.... Web site is fine.

It just started for me, but it is happening on both Discover cards.

Thanks for comments, and confirmations. By way of answer to specific comments and recommendations:

FWIW, I tried disabling online updates, and re-enabling, which stalled during the set-up reporting the same OL-293-A error.

I guess I should just wait another couple days.

I called, because it seemed to me that it was already several days that the OSU didn't work for discover. When I finally got to the web help, she said they were aware of the problem, that it was only since Sunday, and there was no ETA for a fix. That was Monday evening, EDT.

Thanks Han for the follow-up. My own logs show it was happening as early as

I was especially amazed that they refused to pass me to the Web Support group until I had given them all my security information. I assured them that I was not going to make any transactions but only want to report a problem. No good. I'm to cancel Discover as a result. (Their cash back arrangement has gone to seed anyway.)

Stubby, before you cancel your Discover card, check out my post (today) on Citi Cards' absurd policy on removing erroneous penalty fees.... I'll be canceling both my Citi cards once I make a sufficient stink and get the $39 fee removed!

Ditto for me.
