Re: Mac users and tracking cards...

I have been using Mint for a while now but have heard rave reviews about Pageonce and Manilla. I might test them out for a week or two just to see which is better.

Re: Mac users and tracking cards...

I use Mint. I think its wonderful. It even goes into my checking account at my local bank and pulls the transactions. I have never had anything else work with my local bank which is usually several years behind the large banks as far as technology goes. It also automatically categorizes transactions which is good for budgeting.

 

You can recategorize things and it remembers the categories. I recategorized a 5.99 "miscellaneous" transaction (ipad magazine subscription) from Paypal to the magazine category. Even though all the paypal transactions come in the same way, it will take the 5.99 transaction each month and put it in magazines while all the others stay uncategorized. I thought that was nice.

 

Obviously this would be a problem if you have something else come in for that exact amount, so you still need to manually check that things are in there correctly.

 

The iphone and ipad apps are pretty good and I spend more time with those than I do on the website.

 

If you have a really complex financial life (grad student with one source of income here), you might want something more full featured.

Re: Mac users and tracking cards...

I tried iBank also using USAA and even called USAA and they said they don't support that software and if it works once it may not work the next time. I tried the new version of Quicken for Mac and it is a total joke!! So what I have done is run Parallels for Windows on my Mac and then I installed the Widows operating system into that software which allowes me to run the new Quicken 2012 on my mac. If you have any question let me know.

PageOnce is garbage... I hate them all day long.  I have no specifics other than that they are in what I would call the 2nd tier.  A great analogy would be the Discover website (Mint) vs HSBC (PageOnce).

Do all Mac users have trouble with NFCU & Mint?  I have Windows & NFCU works just fine with Mint!

It looks really good but I have such a hard time with most of these prgrams, I loved Mint for a while but a few of my banks won't sync up to them including Navy and that is just annoying and to me defeats the point of it!

 

I'm sorry MODS if you have to move, but since it's about tracking CC I was hoping maybe it would stay Smiley Happy


I tried mint and they have some kind of issue with GECRB where they're locked out. Not worth it.

NFCU works fine with me too on Mint. Don't think MAC users would have issues since Mint is just a web based program. I went back to PageOnce since Mint and GECRB accounts don't get along.

I have heard good things about Mint and Pageonce. I have to try one of them to see.

 

With the BOA portfolio, My Barclay card and GE cards have difficulty updating. I always have to manually re log on and refresh.

I use iBank for my personal and business finance, could not be happier with it, + iPhone / iPad app with constant syncing (if your connected to a network) = 1 Happy Camper
