Mint Mobile

Your Mint Mobile wallet is a digital balance system you can access through your Mint account. Rather than digging out your payment card every time you need extra services, Mint wallet lets you preload funds you can use whenever you need them.

What is my Mint Mobile wallet?


Your Mint Mobile wallet is exactly that—a place to digitally store Mint Mobile service credit within your Mint app. Load up on credit so you always have funds in a pinch, which you can use to pay your monthly bill, add extra data (international, too), make calls to another country, and more. You can even use your wallet balance to top up your kid’s data allowance.


How do I use my Mint Mobile wallet?


Add service credits to your wallet in quantities of $5, $10, or $20 at a time to use whenever you need them. Enter your payment information, or choose your preferred method (including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal) to then load credits into your wallet.

You can use your Mint Mobile wallet to purchase:

  • Data add-ons (in case you didn’t opt for an unlimited plan)
  • Minternational Passes for international roaming data
  • Device protection
  • Tech support from a MinTech advisor
  • International calling

Most importantly, your credits never expire. However, try not to add too many funds you might not use since you can’t return your credits either—a loss if you swap to a new carrier before using them all. 

Not only can your Mint wallet credits be used on your line, you can also apply them to any other lines on your account. Whether you’re snagging a 30-Day Minternational Pass for your next big Eurotrip or purchasing extra data for your youngest, it can all be paid for with credits from your Mint wallet.

Let’s be real, if you find yourself adding extra data to your line, consider upgrading to a plan with more—you’ll save money and probably brainpower by not worrying about running out.

Thinking about switching to Mint?
