Re: [GNC] Gnucash doesn't load American Express QFX files
An update on this. The development branch, at least, on the libofx github https://github.com/libofx/libofx can parse the American Express OFX files. I'm not sure when that ability was added, I didn't try any releases, just the latest commit on the github. So I was able to get them working with GnuCash 3.6. I assume this version of libofx will make it into the repositories eventually, but for now users will have to build their own libofx I guess.

Re: [GNC] Gnucash doesn't load American Express QFX files
OK, with comments from John Ralls and RBM, I think I see what's going on. American Express is updating their website. As part of that, they've upgraded to OFX version 2.0.2, which libofx does not support. Currently I can still click a button "Return to Previous Version", from which I can download my activity in OFX 1.0.2. So, that works for now. AMEX let me take a survey, so I complained about it. But I imagine we need to update libofx, or get a new one that handles XML, or something.

Re: [GNC] Gnucash doesn't load American Express QFX files
I just tried to download from AmericanExpress again. I still have the same problem. I'm just clicking the little download icon next to my activity on the "Statements and Activity" page. Maybe there's another method? With GnuCash 3.6 I was able to import from CSV. That's a hassle, but the import page is much better than was on Gnucash 2.6, so kudos to whoever made that.

[GNC] Gnucash doesn't load American Express QFX files
I got this error using both Gnucash 2.6.19 and 3.6 on Linux Mint 19 with libofx7 from the Ubuntu repositories. I have been using Gnucash for many years, and this is the first time I've ever had trouble with American Express. Actually aqbanking couldn't communicate with american express for the first time, I got the error: Status for transaction statement request: Account not found (Code 2003, severity "ERROR") But that's not what I'm writing about. I logged into the website and downloaded the QFX file, but could not import it. I get the following error. LibOFX INFO: libofx_proc_file(): File format not specified, autodetecting... (Above message occurred on Line 2815, Column 1) LibOFX ERROR: libofx_detect_file_type(): Failed to identify input file format (Above message occurred on Line 2815, Column 1) LibOFX INFO: libofx_proc_file(): Detected file format: UNKNOWN (File format couldn't be successfully identified) (Above message occurred on Line 2815, Column 1) LibOFX ERROR: libofx_proc_file(): Detected file format not yet supported ou couldn't detect file format; aborting.
