Flexo from Consumerism Commentary just held a contest where he solicited suggestions for improvements to Quicken 2008, which should be released in a few months. The prize was a copy of Quicken Premier 2007. I received an e-mail from Flexo today telling me I was the winner! Thanks, Flexo!

If you don’t know about Quicken, it is a money management program that is very popular and has a very loyal customer base. However, there are some limitations to Quicken, which is why Flexo held this contest - to come up with ideas for some areas where Quicken can improve.

I currently use Quicken to track my income, investments, expenditures, and net worth. It has other capabilities such as a Bill Pay feature, but they charge about $10 a month to use this feature. I get bill pay free through my bank, so some quick math tells me free is a better deal for me!

I’ll be sure to review Quicken Premier 2007 after I receive it and have a chance to try it out. As for my copy of Quicken Deluxe 2006, I will give it away. (One of the complaints about Quicken is that it has to be updated about every 2 years, so my version will be obsolete in a year or so… but it should be enough time for someone to try out the software and decide whether or not they can benefit from its capabilities.)

Note: There is a link on the left column of my blog where you can get Quicken 2007 at a discount of up to 36% + free shipping. This is an affiliate advertisement and if you purchase Quicken through this link I may earn a small percentage of the sale.

Disclaimer: Flexo didn’t choose me because I have a Quicken affiliate link! When I receive the version of Quicken Premier 2007, I will give away my copy of Quicken Deluxe 2006. (I just need to find the instruction booklet!)
