One more interesting part of their answer:

In addition to the points above, your credit card company protects you 
in case of fraud and you would not lose this protection in any way by 
using the Mint service.

I am neither a lawyer nor do I play one on TV, but I believe if I give 
my login information to anyone I'm fully responsible for what they do 
and that I don't have protection any more than I would if I got drunk 
and went to my ATM and pulled out all my money and spent it on a 
hooker. Anyway, that's what both my bank and PayPal told me (though not 
quite in those words <smile>).

I think their answer is wrong, and that I would lose my protection.
