I was having problems with DiscoverCard downloads lately, too.
Renaming FI name back to "Discover Card" helped me also - THANKS FOR
THE TIP!

I don't know what that means; but, my comment was meant to be taken in light
of my having found a solution earlier and Intuit having queued my name on an
alert list.

I was not aware of that. Thanks.

Apparently so. My issue seemed to be the change of the connected fi from
Discover Card to Discover Card Account Center.

BTW, I did later receive an alert message stating that Discover had
corrected the problem with their servers, but no mention of the involuntary
connection change that was keeping Direct Connect from being an option in my
case.

In November of 2009, I discovered that I was getting automatically
billed by Amazon.com every month for various amounts around $73.

$72.02, 74.43, 74.12, 74.33, etc..

This had been going on since 5/1/2008.

I got in touch with Amazon and talked to them. They said no such
charges had been made by them against my discover card.

I contacted Discover card and they basically told me, "It was your
responsibility to keep track of your charges. We will only refund you
for 6 months. Sorry but this is really not our problem, it is your
problem."

I have had instances with both Citi Card and Bank of America when my
card was charged by somebody else. They caught the bogus charge
within 2 weeks.

Discover Card ripped me off. I am no longer using Discover Card and I
suggest you do the same. All the credit card companies want my money,
so I will be using other cards.

Just my humble opinion.

Are you saying that for 18 months you were downloading and accepting
fraudulent charges into Quicken, and didn't notice?
