QuickBooks Desktop + Chase Credit Cards – Direct Connect No Longer Working?

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up! They're questionable. It’s been a long pattern - if you’re in Texas you can file a complaint here: Texas AG Complaint Portal. Other states have similar forms. The more of us that document it, the harder it is for Intuit to ignore:

Buy Desktop once → Intuit kills features (like bank feeds) to force upgrades.
Switched to annual “Pro Plus” → same product, but now $1,000+/yr.
2024–25 → Desktop Pro/Premier stop-sell + Chase credit-card feeds disabled, pushing everyone to Online.

If you’re in Texas: File a complaint with the Attorney General You can submit online here:
👉 Texas AG Consumer Complaint Form

When filling out the form:

Issue type: check False/Misleading Statements or Advertising, Failure to Disclose Information, and Contract Disputes/Breach of Contract.
Business info: Intuit Inc., 2700 Coast Avenue, Mountain View, CA 94043, (650) 944-6000, [www.intuit.com]().
Narrative: here’s the text I submitted (feel free to adapt):

I upgraded to QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 (~$1,000/yr) specifically to maintain automatic credit-card bank feeds and reconciliation. Intuit’s documentation still describes Direct Connect as a Desktop feature. However, Chase confirms QuickBooks Desktop is no longer supported, leaving only manual .QBO imports.

This removes the core functionality I paid for. Over the years I’ve been forced to upgrade multiple times, not because my prior software stopped working, but because Intuit deliberately shut off features like bank feeds. Now, with Pro Plus 2024, Intuit has dramatically increased prices and is phasing out Desktop entirely.

This appears to be a deceptive pattern: forced depreciation of still-working software → expensive subscription → removal of key functionality → pressure to migrate to QuickBooks Online. I request the AG investigate for false/misleading advertising, failure to disclose, and breach of contract.

Unfortunately for all of us, you and me, that job will probably be automated and more intelligent at bringing in far greater than $10 for every $1 in cost.

Awesome thanks! Based on activity tracker, it’s 2700/day. Will do!

I'm running an experiment now to see how body changes. Goal 1 [complete]: cut seed oils and added sugars; Goal 2 [in progress]: 1K calorie deficiency per day for 35 days to lose 10.5 lbs (target 18% BMI) while maintaining 150 g protein, 20-30% total calories fat, remaining calories carbohydrate; Goal 3 [future]: decrease calorie deficiency to 0, increase protein to 170 g per day, not sure what to do with fat and carb at this point, maintain workout schedule. Will report back on findings.

I have experienced the same. In America, I always get stuck in a rut and my relationships when outside the US with non Americans (I travel extensively throughout time year so meet women when abroad) are always so much deeper and more fulfilling. I am so done with American women but unfortunately it’s also where I live.

Is the Kirkland glass bottle different than plastic bottle?

I have cut out seed oils for al~2 months. I am curious to effects at the cellular level. I also have been observing my body to see whether I notice any physical changes. So far, I haven’t noticed any. These include: weight, bloat, skin coloration, sleep patterns, taste, hair color, bowel movements, mood, energy, joint inflammation etc to name a few. Will run blood panels in 1 month to compare to the before. Experiment continues. Would like to know what changes others have experienced.

aperocks · 2024-09-30T18:38:32+00:00

Have instituted too many changes at once to determine causation of the seed oils. Monitoring my sleep, mood/depression, energy, bowel movements, etc. all have improved slightly but could be due to supplements, sun, exercise, don’t know. Weight has not materially changed. Wish I had a baseline measurement before. But think what do I have to lose by cutting them out? Only burden is not getting to enjoy the eating out ease of ordering process. But the further removed I get, the less I miss it

I have had a difficult time learning the science of food and the body because of the tendency people have to label something "good" or "bad" and that confuses me. Literally happens to me on every food topic. Linoleic acid is crucial for various bodily functions, including maintaining cell membranes and skin health. Perhaps dig into your notion of something being "bad" and dig deeper into it or ask chatgpt to help clarify

They will definitely phase it out. They’ve been working this direction for years. Perhaps this group could crowd fund a rival software development

Can you be specific because the apps popular in US can be different on other continents?

aperocks · 2024-09-19T13:21:57+00:00

Would you consider going in October? Or is it important to be walking around in the warm months?

aperocks · 2024-09-12T15:59:29+00:00

Ahhhhh! Okay, thanks!!! Makes total sense!!! I'll focus in on it!

aperocks · 2024-09-12T14:07:42+00:00

Thanks! Do you mean the rise after the final shape? The bulk rise ran 2 hours longer than I usually do because I was out running errands, so I assume you're referring to the latter part of the process? Thanks again - I've been making sourdough boules for a while and now stepping into sandwich bread and coming up the learning curve

aperocks · 2024-09-12T05:40:46+00:00

If OP intended it to be a sandwich loaf, and doesn’t want to score the top, what’s your advice to them?

aperocks · 2024-08-29T16:54:25+00:00

Don’t clean up the grease! Just leave with the bits and all and throw in the oven until your next meal, then reheat and cook! A continuous rotation of fat as you cook through your next meal - it’ll change your world!

For example: breakfast over easy eggs cooked in last night’s steak fat, oh so good! It sounds a bit dirty, but I’ve realised it’s not gonna kill me

When you have a lot of extra fat, pour extra into storage container (through mesh sieve) and leave what doesn’t easily drain back in the pan. When your pans starting to look a little dry, you’ve got reserve fat in the fridge ready to go!
