I’m a current Money user, with 10 years of historical data and dozens of accounts.
I would love to have a tool that I could migrate to. This means a way to export/import all of my data and have the detail and balances all match.
Quicken today does not come close to allowing me to do this. If I have to “start over”, I’ll do that on a free tool.
Cost is not really an option. Preserving my data is.
Well I just went ahead and ordered the version I believe I will need. I’ll download it later this week. Thanks to Quicken for the offer. My Money version will expire in November so I will need to learn as quickly as possible. I used Quicken in the past and was not able to get used to it so I returned to Money. I appreciate the forum for our questions.
Hello again. I posted recently in response to the Open Letter to MM users. I continue to be very concerned and am not sure what to do. I know that I’ll eventually be needing to change to Quicken but if the work is still in process for the transition to be successful why would I get Quicken now before Intuit is fully ready for us? I’m confused as to why there is a rebate offer now – that expires soon – and not when the Quicken program is ready for us. Please help. Sincere thanks in advance.
I’ve got the same question as Mike – when is 2010 coming out, and will I have to pay again in a few months to upgrade?
How is this a special offer for MS users if the same price applies to everyone?
I’m using a Quicken 2008 trial and am pretty happy with it (though the process to import/convert Money data was PAINFUL and still on-going.) However, if we buy now, will we get a free upgrade to 2010 in the fall? Your 2009 product hasn’t exactly received rave reviews.
When will Quicken 2010 be available and if I buy now, will I have ot buy an upgrade to the new version?
Thanks.
Has an export from Quicken Online to the desktop version been developed yet? Right now you can only export to Excel, so trying out Quicken Online and moving to a desktop product isn’t a good option when you have to recreate your customization in the desktop version.
Do these savings apply to the Canadian version of Home & Business? Is there a difference between the US & Canadian version of Home & Business?

Hi there R,
Thanks for pointing that out – here is a working link. http://www.quicken.com/money. We don’t offer a free trial unfortunately but we do have a free Quicken Online (www.quickenonline.com) you can try, however this is just a basic, Web-based personal finance option and won’t give you the full desktop experience and feature set.

Any similar deal for those of us in New Zealand?
The news on these blogs is not encouraging.
If I buy Quicken now – to take advantage of the ’special consideration for MS Money users’ how long will I need to wait to actually USE THE SOFTWARE? I assume there will be a free update when the conversion process has been finalized and is working.
I think I may go back to a paper check register and a calculator!!!!!
Ummm.. how is this a deal exactly? As a Money user, I’ve been shopping around looking to go to Quicken.
I need the Home & Business edition which is now $70 at Intuit, but a quick search on Amazon shows me that the same product is $52. Why would I want to buy directly from Intuit?
Argh, I just bought Quicken last week after hearing the news, and now it goes on sale. Is there any price-match system for those of us who bought Quicken in the past week.
The existing conversion process from Money is absolutely terrible. It has taken me a week to sort out my accounts and I’m still not done. The conversion totally mangled my paychecks which had deposits to multiple accounts, got confused by my options transactions, and entered a bunch of interest transactions that didn’t change the account balance.
And of course, Quicken has different UI bugs than Money does. (Why doesn’t escape close all dialogs? Why does end/home while editing a register field take you to the top/bottom of the register rather than the front/back of the field?)
And don’t get me started about the password vault requiring me to enter my vault password every time I want to download transactions. I’m already protected by my Windows password, why do I need another one? This is one area where Money is (er, was) clearly superior. It could sync transactions silently and always keep your accounts up to date).
And those of us in the UK…? Last time I checked, we cant even have Quicken!!
