Curious why I cannot retrieve earlier records on my cc. When connecting to my cc account, quickbooks doesnt allow entering a earlier date range.

The bank feed only downloads the last 90 days. Otherwise, you will have to manually import the data from the file provided by your bank or use MT Online. It is designed to import into any bank or credit card in QuickBooks Online, so there is no specific setting needed.
