Tips for American Express files
- Choose MM/DD/YYYY as the date format if auto-detect guesses wrong.
- If withdrawals come in as positive numbers, tick “Flip amount sign”.
- For credit-card exports, set the account type to Credit card.
- If QuickBooks rejects the file, open Advanced and confirm the INTU.BID — selecting “American Express” in the bank dropdown autofills it.
