What a PR blow to Intuit -- you spend mega-bucks mailing out CD roms to everyone to FIX a bug, and you wind up alienating EVERY SINGLE credit card customer who now can't access their accounts! What a fiasco... This is not Intuit's doing. I have a feeling that there is no bug. I have the sense that the wording is finely smithed to give us that distinct impression, but I don't think there is a bug. I think that we got this "special version" so that we would have to see Traveler's stupid marketing messages when we download our statements from their server. If it was a bug, they could have patched it (i.e., revision 4). Now, I do not have a problem with this arrangement, because they gave me a nifty piece of software I was going to buy anyway, and they spare me the hassle of entering by hand all the transactions - a considerable number, since we pay in full each month and take advantage of the 30 day float. However, I note with some trepidation that in the cardholder agreement, Travelers has reserved the right to begin charging a "data access" fee anytime in the future. While they do not now charge it, if they ever start to, I will chuck their special version software in the dustbin, cancel the card, and go find a competitor that provides a similar service. "I am Biticus!"
