I was just trying to set up a Mint Family to consolidate access to my wife and daughter's accounts more easily, along with my own. I came upon the screen (shown above) telling me I first have to enable Auto Renewal.

First of all, I've never had a worry, nor lost sleep over fear of my plan not renewing and my service getting interrupted.

Secondly, I don't see the connection between activating Mint Family, and requiring Auto Renewal. Perhaps Mint is just doing this . . . because they can?

At any rate, the message indicates (I think) that if Auto Renewal is enabled, it can be canceled at any time afterward. Can anybody confirm that, or offer up why Auto Renewal is linked to Mint Family?
