Intuit QuickBooks Pro 2006 8.0.3 R4 (Mac OS X)

Quickbooks 2006 - Braindead again!  

Just upgraded from 2005 (v7) to 2006 (v8). I have anxiously been awaiting online banking in QB 2006 as I have used on the Mac with Quicken 2004. I use this to download my itemized credit card transactions for business expenses (from Citibank). Intuit claims this is a feature of QB 2006 - yea! Guess what, totally unimplemented. It is impossible to setup a bank or credit card account to download transations directly into QB Credit Card account. I went nuts trying to figure out how to enable this. If you try and set one up or edit existing, it says "Goto to credit card site and download your transactions in QuickBooks format". When I go to Citibank's site, it says, "enable online download in QuickBooks - there is not Quickbooks download", they both point the finger at each other! What a joke. How lame you Intuit developers are, can't you figure this out already? Since I put every extra charge on my credit card, I depend on this to categorize transaction. Quicken does this just great, so I will continue to use this. I tried to setup a bank account to do this and it says the same thing. So this doesn't appear implemented. It doesn't even matter the name of your bank, it just immediately says "download from bank or credit card site - duh, don't look at us to do that." The online information fields are all greyed out! Documentation says nothing at all about online accounts. What a good trick Intuit! I'm sure they are laughing at all us Mac users. It gives a full list of supported institutions, but you can't actually do anything with any of them. Stay far away if you need this feature. [alert admin]

This is true, if you are running the PC version of QuickBooks. Many of the bank QuickBooks doesn't support and the rest don't support the Mac. You're screwed...
