my current transactions don't show up.... anyone else use a bank of america credit card?

5/12/2008 10:29:16 AM

^ I do and my BoA accounts work fine.

5/12/2008 10:38:53 AM

anyone else done txt message alerts and that doesn't have AT&T? the two of us with AT&T never got our txts for setting it up...wondering if its mint.com + AT&T or just a mint.com thing.

5/12/2008 10:49:24 AM

i have at&t, just had the test message sent and got the message ~3 minutes after submitting.

5/12/2008 11:08:33 AM

Ok, I finally set this up. Tell me some cool stuff I can do.

5/12/2008 11:51:11 AM

but do your recent credit card transactions come up?

5/12/2008 12:00:46 PM

It only goes back 33 days even though I can manually go back further if I log in to chase.
Also, I have a chase business account which allows you to have multiple users.
I have an account summary for the business account and then an account summary for the cards only user (me) and it looks like mint is counting each transaction twice.

5/12/2008 12:02:49 PM

Ok, I was able to hide the duplicate account, but still not sure how to go back past 33 days.

Post Hi,
Generally speaking, which is not a rule, we can generally get about 30 days back from when you created your Mint.com account (varies wildly by bank).

Post Can I input transactions manually?
Mint currently doesn't support the addition of transactions manually

Can mint predict future results based on previous months data?

5/12/2008 12:25:59 PM

^ After a fashion. It's sets up budgets that you can then tailor based on your previous spending patterns.

5/12/2008 12:31:08 PM

"After a fashion." ?

5/12/2008 12:32:56 PM

after (or in) a fashion

1. In some way or other, especially to a limited extent

5/12/2008 1:22:45 PM

So it can predict how much money I'll have each month after expenses?

5/12/2008 1:31:23 PM

I signed up with yodlee.com instead of mint.com ...

Is there even a difference. I just trust paul, so I took his advice.

I will say I am pretty impressed. The only issue I had was with my first citizens business checking account, which I am going to verify that I picked the right security questions to see if I can get that to work.

I agree that it is a little annoying that it doesnt go back more than a month to get transaction data... Oh well.

Also, lowes foods showed up as "home improvement" ... thats a bug

5/12/2008 8:40:01 PM

This sucks. The site is much, much easier to use than Quicken or shit like that, but I just can't trust them to have all of my information.

"The most requested feature from users of Mint's money tracking and budgeting service has been a way to track cash transactions. It's now available, and if you can remember to keep your receipts, it works very well. After logging into Mint, head to the Transactions tab, hit the "Add a Transaction" button, and Mint will bring up an entry form that defaults to cash purchases. It's also checked to automatically subtract that amount from your last ATM withdrawal, so you can tally up where all your cash went after it left your wallet. Businesses you've purchased from on credit cards or checks will auto-fill in the Description field, and you can tag a transaction or leave notes on what it was. It fills one of the last big gaps in Mint's big-picture finance tool, and it's a nice addition to finally see. "

Excellent.

Now all that's missing is a blackberry app

4/14/2010 12:52:23 PM

^no an iPad app!

4/14/2010 12:54:49 PM

At first I thought "cool" since I definitely use that site and it is very handy. But then I thought, how many times and how much do I actually spend cash each month? I went back and looked and I've only spent $40 in cash since February and that was because my friends and I were collecting money for something and needed cash.

4/14/2010 1:13:12 PM

If Mint could do some simple invoicing (with paypal and/or Google Checkout) and mileage tracking, I could just about get rid of Quickbooks for good. Mint rocks.

4/14/2010 2:47:24 PM

^^ Yeah, I had pretty much the same train of thought.

I wish their trends section could do forecasting for the future.

4/14/2010 3:05:09 PM

^^I could see them doing that as a premium service now that Quicken owns them. That'd be pretty cool. Everything else is in the cloud now, why not that stuff too

4/14/2010 8:29:35 PM

cash transactions has been around for at least a week or two - old news by tww standards

i hate that i can't see how much $ i've spent on a credit card within a given date range easily

4/14/2010 8:35:15 PM

Site down for anyone else?

[Edited on April 15, 2010 at 5:18 PM. Reason : its server side issues but just in case.]

4/15/2010 5:17:52 PM

Up for me.

4/15/2010 9:11:33 PM

just signed up and immediately I'm like whoa at all the money I've spent on gas so far this month.

4/16/2010 5:47:26 AM

I like Mint.com a lot and started using it a few months ago, but my main bank (a small credit union) will not link to Mint.com due to "security issues". It makes me want to say fuck you to the credit union and take my money elsewhere just so I can fully use the Mint.com site.

4/16/2010 8:18:21 AM

^ I ditched my old online broker (TradeKing), because they kept promising integration with Mint but never delivered.

4/16/2010 9:27:50 AM

I just signed onto it. I have never needed a financial tracker, but since my wife and I are combined accounts now, it is going to be useful.

However, I am nervous about access for a central site to all my accounts. My wife is super freaky about this, so I suspect as soon as she finds out, it will be deleted... For now, however, it has done one helluva job categorizing everything.

Also, my investment account is fairly complex, and hunting down fees in large statements is not easy. I loved quickly seeing the brokerage fees.

I used to use mint until my credit union started using FinanceWorks about 6 months ago.

If you havent already learned, you will soon. Some battles arent worth the energy and collateral damage.

why would she care? the back end is ran by the same company that runs every online banking website in the US..they already have your info for every account you have. you can't even DO anything with your money from mint since it's only purpose is to show you your money and how it was spent, not do anything with it.

[Edited on April 16, 2010 at 1:08 PM. Reason : although i agree with your point..lol]

You guys assume all decisions are based on logic. There is a lot more than logic in decisions that women make, and more often than not, they are emotional.

And I dont think that is true, is it? from what I read, they do processing for several banks, not all. That means that you are trusting a central entity even more for information into more accounts, therefore creating more potential havoc if there is a breach.

4/16/2010 2:15:34 PM

thats why I did it for you

no offense to your lady, I'm sure she's wonderful.

4/16/2010 2:18:46 PM

I love mint.com personal finance and the app for the iPhone is great.

^^^^^^as far as i know it is true..but regardless, your fears are pretty unfounded. although i think you know that and are just defending your wife

5/17/2010 12:15:57 PM

I use BB&T and I can not add anything that relates to this bank. Anyone having trouble with this that uses BB&T?

5/17/2010 1:29:36 PM

I had no problems adding BB&T when I signed up a few weeks ago. You may have to search for Branch banking and Trust or http://www.bbt.com.
