- They want to charge you for support for a product that does not work
- I have had pretty good experiences with the Quicken Premier itself, but I had a very bad experience when I signed-up for Quicken Online Backup.

phone support - oddly limited to rather short weekday hours if as it appears - most support is in India anyway
requires one two two day scheduling for live support. then requires… More reviews
