Mint.com fail

Dec 29, 2010 13:37

Mint was a great little free (as in ad revenue) service. Then Quicken, I mean, Intuit bought it. I feared that it would become 1) bloated and 2) Not Free or option b) not serviced. Since that time, it is still free, but there is a problem with my account that has not been addressed in over a month which practically makes Mint unusable.

I cannot edit my accounts.

This means I cannot change the passwords accessing my financial data. This means Mint cannot download my financial data. This means I am losing data because Mint can't update. This means I can't use any of the spiffy Mint tools based on the data because there is no data. This makes Mint useless.

I suspected they wanted to kill Mint from the beginning. It won't drive me back to using Quicken. They already annoyed me by "sunsetting" the first product I used, to which I bought the upgrade to the next, only to have that "sunset". Seriously, they didn't need to sunset them other than to drive revenue. Which is one of the things I liked about Mint. No upgrades necessary.
