Rant: Mint

Good think my checking account has overdraw protection!

Today I got an email from Pageonce, the service that has been much better than mint, except for killing my phone battery recently. I have been trying mint instead for that reason. This week I decided to pay off all of my bills. Mint told me that my accounts were out of date, and needed to be updated. I updated the information and it gave me a new balance. It didn't tell me that balance was from two months ago! Two months ago I was $600 richer I guess, because after playing my $200 credit card bills I should have still had $200 in my debit, and more in my savings account. The email from pageonce said I had $0 in my checking account. Zero is not a good number when you expect to have at least $200, and at the same time being another $200 short in my savings.

Mint really screwed up! If I didn't have overdraw protection I would have all sorts of bills to pay. Also I was just freaking out because I thought I had had my identity stolen or something. Goodbye forever mint I am deleting all the information I have on your page and deleting my account.

That was just RUDE!
