I was very happy with Mint until I decided to close it. In terms of usability, this site was clearly designed to make it difficult to close one's account. I ran into problems immediately. After two hours they sent me an email that I needed to reset my java script. I did that. I am currently into hour 3 just trying to close my account. Their process is the opposite of customer friendly.

We got Mint because we recently retired and want to track our expenses. Unfortunately, Mint's reports duplicated a lot of transactions, especially from Visa cards issued by Chase bank. Consequently, Mint told us for the better part of a year we were spending a lot more than we actually were. It was scary.
Mint's only support is via chat with semi-literate people using fake names in heaven knows what country. All they are interested in doing is making excuses. They have no desire to learn what's wrong with the system or fix it. There are ways to fix the errors, but Mint is so buggy that this takes a long time, especially if you have let the mess build up for a while. Reluctantly, we're going to have to go back to Excel to track our expenses.

Mint mobile is rubbish
January 4, 2024

I just want to let a review here as I can't do it elsewhere, it doesn't work nowhere and the customer service is rubbish, you just gonna waste your time and money and get stuck everywhere you go. Any good reviews from this company are probably paid, easy to pay Asian people to write good reviews for them.

No data during busy hours
December 23, 2023

I've had mint mobile now for 6 months. And the moment you use more than 40 GB on the unlimited plan you are seriously throttled down. I thought unlimited men a certain definition. Apparently mint mobile has a different definition of unlimited. You will not have phone service early in the morning when everybody is using it. You will not have phone service around 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. when everybody's using it. You will not have phone service from 10:00 p.m. till midnight when everybody's going to bed and using it. Mint mobile uses T-Mobile and the priority for T-Mobile is their customers.

Nightmare
July 24, 2020

I just tried switching to Mint from Quicken. I thought Quicken was bad when you need help. Mint is a nightmare. All I wanted was to enter a transaction that was older than 90 days. So far I have logged in 14 times, emptied my browser history, restarted my computer 4 times, and started a chat for help 4 times that kicks u out after 20 min. It's been 2 hours and all they do is blame your computer, browser, ect.

If you use mint, pray you never have to change your phone number. After changing mine, I got locked out of my account. Despite multiple submissions of requests to have my phone number changed, I only wasted hours of my time getting bounced back and forth between mint support chat and TurboTax phone support with no resolution. So now I have lost over two years of budgeting trends and have to start from scratch. If you're looking for alternatives, I'm switching to MoneyDance.

Long Time Mint User
June 19, 2023

I've been a long time mint user and I love it. Before Mint I used to track all my expenses and overall budget on Excel. With Mint, everything is in one place and I can see analytics about my spending to change my habits.

Use Personal Capital
September 29, 2018

I can't recommend this app because it displays only 1 credit score from 1 credit bureau, persistently tracks payments and debits in one's account up to a point but does not keep accurate records of which bank account and which card, in the case of multiple cards and accounts. On occasion, they also display unsolicited offers for loans and supposedly "free" money which likely are scams or lead to trouble. I would use Personal Capital instead though they do not have an app, they have a resident financial advisor who helps with retirement planning and investment decisions. Intuit owns and collects information using the Mint website and app, so Intuit could assert nearly anything to the IRS using the collected data. Be careful.

This was one of my favorite finance sites before since the software was essentially free. Now that intuit owns them I'm betting it will even be better though they will push you towards buying quicken at some point.

I love using this software it tells me all my bank account balances on one screen and shows me daily and weekly expenses broken down into categories automatically such as bars and night clubs, restaurants, gas, etc.

Mint.com seemed to be the answer to my prayers. Simple to use, automatically updates and connects with my checking, credit card accounts. Nine days ago I noticed none of my Citi credit card activity was being reported. I went to Customer Service, available only by Chat. Yesterday I was told "Connectivity for Citibank accounts in Mint is temporarily unavailable at this time. We expect connectivity to be restored soon, please check back again later." Chatted again today, got the same exact message. Looking online, this seems to be an ongoing recurring problem between Mint.com and Citi.

Terrible software
February 12, 2018

I am preparing to meet my accountant and noticed that transactions in 2 accounts are getting mixed together at Mint and I was told they cannot help me because they can only do 3 months back. I spent so much time sending screen shots of everything they ask for but they always come back and say it is too late. Am I supposed to delete each and every item and input manually in the other account! I might as well just use an excel file. I don't know if they know what they are doing. I used the app for 3 years and this is the first time it happened.

They say that orders are process within 48 hours. Well 4 days later they still cannot tell me is item has or is going to be shipped. You if they only gave the impression to really want to help or be human this would be different. Instead I get sorry we will send it when we do. Uneducated and frankly un-human people working there. They really have the skill in customer service of a piece of furniture. $#*! a common criminal would have more education and customer service skills.

I have multiple bank accounts, student loans, a mortgage, credit cards and investment accounts. Mint was great when I started 3 years ago (pre-Intuit). My main checking account with a mid-market bank in California has been disconnected for over a year. So any budgeting in Mint is out the window. The student loans have not updated for months - Mint says high-traffic volume is permitting them from accessing the data. Now it can't connect to my e-bay account and major credit card. I'm about to throw in the towel. I'm spending more time trying to fix connections than anything else, and without my main bank account connected, there's not much to look at.

It was pretty cool for the first week I had it on my Android Tablet. However, I kept having to input my password and user name to keep it updated... but it didn't update. It has told me for the past 2 weeks that I haven't spent any money, when in the real world, I've spent like $1000. WTH? I was honestly kind of leary about using this site and giving them my bank login, but I haven't seen any odd transactions yet. I'm probably going to delete the app today.

Ok, but not the best
October 15, 2019

Although I love the interface of the application - it does not sync well with Chase. I have found that I need to refresh the account, which works about 1% of the time, or totally reset the account up by deleting and readding it.
The budgeting feature is awesome and I love it but if the accounts are not syncing properly, it skews the data in the budget.
As much as I would like to keep using this for my personal budget, I am going to look for something that can actually sync with ALL my accounts.

I personally Love mint, just like everyone else states its pretty much a one stop shop. You don't need to go anywhere else to review all your finances and it will actually break everything down for you. So you can actually see where your money is going.
I only see one issue with this site is that you keep all your finances in one place you are completely rely on this site to protect all your personal information. I wish i knew what steps they take to actually protect it. Especially since lately even the government sites are being easily hacked into. You must wonder if someone wanted to steel all this data one day and you provided mint with all your account information and passwords what sort of damage can those hackers make.

I have used Mint.com for a couple years now and like how I can track my spending from multiple accounts in one location. They only thing I wish they could add is a way to actually work the accounts within the program; i. E. pay bills, move money, etc.

This company is horrible at deleting data. I have been assured all of my data was removed and i would no longer receive emails but have continued to receive emails, and even though i deleted my account three times and had tech support delete it twice, my account still somehow exists. I would highly recommend not signing up for this service at all unless you expect to be a life long user. I personally do not trust them to handle data any more.
