Can Apple Card transactions be downloaded into Quicken. If I try to set it up as a Goldman Sachs card, Quicken is looking for a Goldman Sachs ID. Alternatively, is there a web based portal to do web connect downloads via a QFX file?
In addition to not being able to download into Quicken, it appears that you cannot carry the card in your wallet with other cards: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210399 Who has a "soft wallet"? So, I see the only real advantage of the Apple Card is the 3% back on purchasing Apple products. Those purchases I can simply put into Quicken manually.

How to safely store and carry your titanium Apple Card
Not being able to download transactions into Quicken is a dealbreaker for me. Stupid Apple.. I guess they are only going for the very young “instant purchase without thinking of the ramifications” demographic.
Similarly, thee are countless people who do export data. Apple/Goldman will care eventually when they on't get the response that they expected and, worse, many users either cancel the card or simply don't use it. Of course, perhaps they're not in business to make money.
I easily download all my income and expenses into Quicken from all my accounts and credit cards so they can be easily categorized. Then at the end of the year I run a report for filling my taxes. This also helps me stay on top of my spending each month to see if I’m exceeding my budget in any one area.
I want to be able to see ALL my financial data in ONE place.
I set the card as my default Apple Pay card and used it 5 or 6 times before I realized that those expenses wouldn’t be available within my chosen financial management program.
I’ve stopped using the card altogether now and will only use it for rare big Apple purchases.

That rebuttal has been standard fare since Apple’s founding. If Apple doesn’t do what I want it means disaster for Apple. The same claims were made at one point about every product Apple has released. Do what I want or you will fail.

Remember Lisa?
Also, Apple CHANGED the Mac to support Windows apps because of user demand.
Finally, I don't really care if they modify the Apple Card. My existing card gives me everything that I want AND much better rewards. I have no reason to change.

Apple Card data cannot be exported.
If misery truly loves company, I have the same concern.
There are countless people who do not export data. This card is optional and you are assuming that Apple or Goldman Sachs care about your decision.
Yep.
And, as I noted it requires special protection and cleaning. There even is now a protective skin if you dare carry it in your wallet: https://dbrand.com/shop/apple-card-skins
