I love mint. I actually caught fraud on my credit card while checking my balances on my iPhone through mint's app while at work. I was thinking of writing them a thank you letter.
I would have been tempted to reply something like this:
"At Mint, we have an algorithm to calculate the number of users we have. This function is defined as follows:
mint users = (average logins during the past 7 business days / (registrations - closed accounts)^last business day's S&P 500 closing price - average rainfall of the Amazon basin during the past 6 months[in inches]) * 0 + number of Intuit customers ^ 2
As you can see, here at Mint we may have even underestimated the number of users we have"
Of course I do, but I was able to find it right away and report it, instead of going over my entire month's transactions and identifying which were mine and which weren't. Mint was a tool of convenience to me.
