For Chase I'm using Quicken Windows 2008 and 103. I have a 32
character Client UID that I think I generated myself (all HEX).
In Linux try generating a random UID: hexdump -n 16 -e '4/4 "%08X" 1
"\n"' /dev/urandom
I have not used my AmEx card in many years. Online banking used to
work with it but I think it stopped working for me a while ago. I just
tried mapping my account and it seemed to work. No matter what I do I
get an error when I try to download my transactions. I could not find
anything about "authorization mode".
Searching the AmEx site I found this:
==========================================================
Does the American Express Savings site integrate with Mint or Quicken?
At this time, American Express Savings does not allow sites like
Quicken or Mint to login on behalf of our customers. This protocol is
in place to protect Savings customers’ personal information. Savings
does allow you to download transactions so that you can import them
into Quicken by following these easy steps:
Log in to your American Express Savings account here
Click the account that you want to download
Click the "Download Transactions" link at the bottom of the
Transaction History section
Follow the prompts

Delta, it's not just a crappy airline.
If Bill Gates put microchips in the vaccine, you would
have to go in for an update the second Tuesday of every month.
