“Mint has always been a money loser,” Mr. Agostino, a former product manager at Mint, said in an interview. “Given the revenue Credit Karma was generating, it makes sense to go that path.”

Translation: “Eh, all it does is help people without bringing us significant revenue. Let’s try to push the users over to a more spammy based app!”

I remember when both came out, and used them extensively. Finally dropped CK, then Mint, as they both started including more and more loan ads. We certainly had a good run of actually useful free stuff, but that’s finally catching up.

Like I want to give yet another 3rd party access to my data anyway.

Goodbye mint.

I know, hence the “(RIP)”. Still, I’m not going to give up on having integrated financial info so any credit union I switch to would have to support whatever I replace Mint with (even if it’s as rudimentary as letting me automate downloading an OFX file).
