I just signed up for Mint and am stoked! DH and I have put off using an actual program for budgeting because our incomes are inconsistent as a result of being self employed (poor excuse!) We're the type of people to put everything on our cc and pay it off each month, gotta collect those precious points right?! Anyways I would like to add in my credit card onto Mint, is there a way to do so? Any tips for getting it set up efficiently from the get go?

I use mint but only as a place to see all of my accounts on one screen. I can't actually make payments or do any budgeting calculations. It's a good overview, though, and it's free.
I haven't touched it in a while but I know there's a way to add credit cards.
-
Yup you can definitely add credit cards, bank accounts, loans, etc.
-
You can add anything from credit cards, 401k accounts and school loans. Right at the top you click the icon next to the accounts and then a black box pops up. Click add and select the type of account

you can add almost anything! It's so easy too. All I had to do was enter in the website and my username and password information because I was already setup online for all of my accounts and it all transfers over to mint.com, it's great!

Yes, we have pretty much everything on it- ccards, loans, even retirement accounts. I love the budget summary, very helpful to see where we are at in each expense category (groceries, eating out, etc)- it takes a few months to work, but it is my favorite part of Mint.

Awesome, thanks ladies! So simple...I feel silly! Most accounts came up right off the bat as they're in one place.
I'm enjoying categorizing everything, seems like wonderful program so far. Now to get DH on board. -
Basically any account you can check the balance and transactions for online, you can add to Mint.
I like Mint for checking my balances online, but I'm a Quicken user at home! Its really great for budgeting and definitely worth it if you want to create your own categories for things or do any tax-planning related things (tip-buy last year's edition, they add a couple new features every year, but usually you'll save $10-20 by getting an older version).
