Quicken offers coupons to attract abandoned Microsoft Money users
Last week Microsoft announced that it would be discontinuing Microsoft Money, the company's personal finance application. Download Squad readers came up with a number of great suggestions for anyone looking for a replacement. But the 800 pound gorilla in the room is Quicken. And now Intuit, the company behind Quicken are reaching out to Microsoft Money customers by offering tools to import Money data to Quicken. The company is also offering discounts of up to $50 on Quicken software. Those coupons start at $20 off the price of Quicken Deluxe, bringing the price down to $39.99. You can also get $30 off the price of Quicken Premier or Home& Business, or $50 off the price of Rental Property Manager. Or if your finances aren't that complicated, you could just try Quicken Online for free.
The coupons are good through July 31st. Microsoft will stop selling Money at the end of June, although support will be available through January, 2011.

Don't fall into the Quicken trap. It has to be upgraded every 3rd year else key features are deleted.
AceMoney is multi-platform. It accepts M$ Money exports in QIF format. The interface is straight forward and easy to use. A freeware Lite version is well-featured including on-line banking, but is limited to one bank account. The $30 licensed version handles multiple accounts and includes perpetual upgrades.

only problem with all this is, that the rebates leave the product still more expensive than what it would cost to buy the comparable versions on amazon. deluxe is like $10 cheaper.
but one look at reviews quicken has gotten on amazon kinda makes me think it's not even worth the $30.

hrm, I've started the migration to quicken from money and I am far from impressed.....and I was using the 2007 version of money. Quicken's interface sucks balls.
