How to Successfully Renew Your Mint Plan at a Discount

This year, renewing your Mint plan at a discounted rate is a challenge, but persistence pays off! Just a few days ago, I managed to snag a lower renewal price through some strategic moves. Here are my tips for mastering the renewal process successfully! 🌟

Step 1: Communicating with Customer Service

Start by calling 800-683-7392 and instruct the AI to connect you to a human representative.

Once you’re speaking with a live agent, confirm your name and email address. Then, confidently state:

“I’ve received a lower offer elsewhere—could Mint match it with a discount?”

Chances are you’ll hear, “We can’t offer a lower price right now.” Don’t be discouraged—it’s just the first round of negotiation.

For your second attempt, try saying:

“It was cheaper last year—could you check again for me and see what you can do?”

This might lead to another “no,” but don’t give up just yet. If they still can’t help, proceed to say:

“In that case, I’m likely switching carriers. Please transfer me to the retention team. My PIN number is [your PIN].”

Step 2: Discussing with the Retention Team

When you connect with the retention specialist, they will ask why you’re considering switching. Keep your response simple and to the point:

“It’s too expensive. My friend got four months free, and I’m looking for a similar deal.”

If your friend is also renewing, leverage that! Ask:

“If both of us renew together, could we get a better deal?”

This often results in additional discounts. 💸

Step 3: Payment Method Tips

When they ask about your payment method, say:

“I will use Wallet to pay; please hold on while I add funds.”

It’s crucial to make them wait while you finalize your Wallet transaction—don’t rush into providing your card details!

Money-Saving Wallet Recharging Methods

Here’s a smart way to recharge your Wallet for maximum savings:

1. Log into your account on the Mint website and select “Load Wallet” from the left menu.
2. Start by adding $20.
3. Edit the address bar URL at the end where it reads “20” and change it to “35” before refreshing the page.
4. You’ll see a prompt stating “Pay $32.05 for $30,” but trust me, you’ll actually get the full $35! 🎉
5. Repeat this process four times.

It’s advisable to use PayPal for this process since credit cards may trigger security measures if charged multiple times quickly. After charging $35 four times, your Wallet should show a total of $140. If you anticipate future renewals, consider adding another $20 to bring your account balance to $160.

Finally, return to your chat with customer service, ask them to deduct the amount from your Wallet balance, and check your Transaction History to ensure everything is in order. Success! 💪

Conclusion

Renewing your Mint plan doesn’t have to be a stressful experience. By utilizing these tips and remaining assertive, you can secure a better deal and potentially even get extra months for free. Happy renewing! 🎊
