Puzzling sentence in 'Problems' section
[edit]As of 2022 Existing Quicken Online users' data is transferable/importable into Mint.com.[citation needed] This is in direct contrast to VP Aaron Patzer's promise, made on April 27, 2010: "[Until the merger with Mint.com is complete], you can continue to use Quicken Online just like you have. Once we have completed integrating all features to Mint, you will be able to easily transfer your information and data to ensure the smoothest transition possible."[19]
This claim is not clearly referenced but even worse, it's not clear what it is saying. Was Aaron Patzer promising indefinite convertibility of Quicken Online files and Mint files? Did that fail to be true at some point? If there is a broken promise here, what was it? If nobody can figure out what this is saying, perhaps the whole section should be removed.

- Yes, I agree. I tried to parse that passage and failed.
- But this article is seriously out of date and needs some revision. E.g., Quicken is now a subscription service called Quicken Classic. I just don't think I have it in me to work on this. Rlw (Talk) 23:45, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- In this edit, an anonymous user changed that paragraph from
Existing Quicken Online users' data is not transferable/importable into Mint.com.

- without providing a citation, without removing the "This is in direct contrast..." sentence (and without fixing the capitalization of "Existing", given that it's no longer at the beginning of the sentence).
- Right after that, I added a {{cn}} to the claim; no citation was ever provided.
- The Internet Archive Bot fixed the reference, which turns out to have said that transferring data from Quicken Online to Mint.com would not be supported.
- I undid the change, adding an {{As of}} giving the date of the citation, and attached the citation to that claim (that being the claim it supports).
- If somebody has an update with a reliable source, they should add that update in a fashion consistent with what's already there. Guy Harris (talk) 19:12, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
