I travel quite a bit for work so a lot of time I end up using my credit card for expenses on the trip which get reimbursed later. And I use the same card that I always do, so my personal expenses and work expenses are mixed together. Does Mint handle reimbursements well?
I am thinking unless I use a different credit card for travel, I will end up doing a lot of these expense classifications/categorizing manually. Not to mention the handling the reiubursement itself, when I get the check where I will have to classify it as not income or something

I have a similar situation but my work expenses are small, under $100 a month.
As of now, all I do is categorize the expense as normal and then use the Income: Reimbursement category for the check my company sends me, but this doesn't do what you really want to do.
I would think the best way to not have any of this count towards your personal accounts would be to just exclude all the transactions on both ends (expenses and incomes) unless you can make a Custom Category that doesn't count towards anything, but I haven't played with that option.
After fiddling with it, the only category that doesn't seem to count towards expenses and your budgeting besides Excluding is the "Transfer" category, so maybe making a category in there and just counting all these as transfers may work.
