Yesterday

When the economy starts to get a little rough it is pretty normal to start looking at your spending for areas to save. Everyone tends to look at 'discretionary' spending first, dining out, clothing, entertainment etc. You can find good savings in spending that is on autopilot, for me that's utilities.

All,
We're currently working on some new features that we hope to get out over the next couple of months. Here's what's in the works right now (and we'd love you feedback or suggestions on how to build these pieces):

- Cash Expense Tracking (Ability to track your cash transactions and have them included in your overall cash spending)

- More mobile/email alerts and notifications, such as low balance alerts, bank overdraft alerts, high credit card limit alerts, and high transaction amount alerts

- Ability to export data from the product to a spreadsheet

Additionally, I know that budgeting has been asked about by a number of you. We are definitely working on budgeting, but we are building it as part of a larger set of features. It's something we're working on, and we appreciate your patience because we hope to deliver it as a feature that exceeds your expectations.

Thanks,
Barron

All,
We added some new features to the product yesterday:

* We've added many popular investment and loan institutions to our list - We've added institutions such as E*Trade, Merrill Lynch, SalomonSmithBarney, Putnam Investments, T. Rowe Price Investments, TIAA-CREF Investments, Sallie Mae Loan, Fidelity NetBenefits, Charles Schwab, Fidelity Investments, TD Ameritrade, Countrywide, and AIG Retirement.

So, now you may be able to track investment, CD, mortgage, or loan accounts that you couldn't track in Quicken Online before. (For investment accounts, you won't be able to see every detail of your holdings in each security; you can only track some limited transactions and your balances.)

To find out if we added your institution, click Add from the Home page and search for your institution. We'll also be adding more investment institutions in the coming weeks.

* The My Accounts page does more and also got a facelift - There's a reason it doesn't look clunky any more: we added some new features to make it more truly the headquarters for your accounts. Now you can change an account's sign-in info, add accounts, delete accounts, change the name of an account, and navigate to the transactions in an account (click the account number).

* You can edit a bunch of transactions at once - Ever wanted to change all the transactions from a particular payee all at once? Maybe you want to shorten the payee name and also assign them all to the same category? Now you can do that. Your change affects future transactions, too.

Go to the Track Spending tab, select your widest date range and all your accounts, and then click Payee. You can select any payee's row and change the Payee name and the category. It's a huge timesaver.

Additionally, we apologize for any problems getting your latest data into the product. It's an issue we are aware of and that we are working hard to fix.

Keep the feedback coming and let us know what other features you'd like to see in the product.

Thanks,
Barron
