Discover Card Transactions Download
Until Sep 20th I had no problems downloading transactions from Discover by selecting the Quicken format. Yesterday, the Discover website no longer lists Quicken as an option. My choices are Excel, CSV, or PDF. How do you import CSV into MoneyDance.

Hi Joe,
You can use CSV files to import into Discover Card.
Take a look at the following Moneydance KB article.
https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/kb/online-banking-and-bill-pay/i...
Besides Moneydance's 'built-in' importer described in the link above, there is an extension the 'CSV Importer' that is more robust and customizable.
If you have any trouble, post a sample of your CSV file.

Yes this is very disappointing on Discover's part. I've sent them feedback that I am upset they removed the ability to download ofx or qfx transactions. I suggest others do that as well; maybe they will bring the feature back if enough people complain.

Any tips on importing the CSV file for Discover Card? I was able to import, but roughly half of my transactions show a deposit rather than a payment (no rhyme or reason). I tried the extension but it said the CSV was not compatible. I am just using the normal import function in Moneydance.

Thank you Kevin N., I used the built in importer feature in MoneyDance. For my first attempt, it worked pretty well. For my next attempt, I will change the menu from "amount" and try "Credit Amount" . All my transactions were reversed, maybe that was my problem. If not, I will try "Debit Amount" All other columns downloaded fine.

By the way, I did call Discover. They advised me the problem is because of Quicken making changes. They did not know when it would be resolved or what will be added back.

Yeah, I'm sure that's half-true. Quicken may indeed have made changes that now inhibits direct integration with Quicken iteself, but there's no reason that Discover could not continue to offer OFX (which is an open standard) and QFX (which is semi-open) downloads for other person finance software such as Moneydance.
Keep complaining to them! Maybe we'll get them to bring it back!

I've also let Discover know the change is very unhelpful, but I'm not expecting much help on their end. I'll try the CSV module and see how well it works.

I was able to import the CSV file from Discover after some experimentation, but cannot get Moneydance to provide a Merge option for the imported transactions. Does anyone have a suggestion how this feature can be activated?

Thanks to all for the help. I was able to import it using the Debit Amount field. Still less than convenient, as I normally default to Excel for opening CSV files, so this means I now have to decide explicitly every time I have a CSV.
Already had a useless exchange on the chat, planning to call Discover later today. The whole "it's Quicken's fault" bit is BS. My guess is that they use Intuit's software library to create their QFX / OFX files, and decided they didn't want to pay licensing any more.
Also, I'm convinced this is an illegal restraint of trade in the U.S., will be filing complaints with the Federal Trade Commission and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This is selective preferencing of one vendor -- Intuit -- over all the others.

Just for information Intuit sold Quicken Personal Finance some years ago, they no longer own the product.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. Who owns it now, do you know?

Never mind, I found it. Private Equity. What a surprise.

I complained to Discover, wrote up an FTC issue, and wrote the VP of cards at Discover. I have an acknowledgement, we will see. So stupid to remove something people are using and is already on the website.
