I use the OFX import all the time and get matching.  Sometimes I have to 
force it to look for a match (check the R column).

And sometimes, it matches too good and thinks it finds a duplicate (a 
charge that occurs every 2 weeks) so I have to force it to bring it in 
by checking the import column.

Should be just the same.
