Community Reviews
Mint Mobile is a strong low cost annual plan for people who have solid T Mobile coverage and want unlimited talk, text, data, and 20GB of hotspot use. The service is praised for holding up well over years of use, with fast speeds in some areas and less throttling in busy places than some alternatives. The main catch is that performance depends heavily on location because Mint is deprioritized on the network, and taxes and fees can push the real total well above $180. It is a practical year long option if the local network fit is right.
Travelers staying on T-Mobile-covered streets and suburbs, because Mint rides that network and can work well when local T-Mobile coverage is strong.
Heavy hotspot users who only need modest tethering, because the plan includes 20GB of hotspot data and can be a strong value for a year.
Phone owners who want to lock in a full year of service, because paying upfront can protect against later price increases and avoid frequent carrier switching.
iPhone owners who want 5G SA on a T-Mobile-based plan, because this service can provide that feature at a low annual cost.
Shoppers comparing total annual cost across carriers, because taxes and fees can add a meaningful amount to the advertised price.
People who need consistent performance in weak-coverage areas, because the connection can drop to no bars and emergency mode when deprioritized.
Drivers and commuters who need reliable data in congested public places, because the connection can get heavily throttled in stores and restaurants.
International travelers who need Mexico or Canada included, because those trips can require an extra pass with limited data.

as for the concern, even with Taxes/Fees, still is the best annual plan out there cost wise on a well known and highly rated carrier. even at $17-19 a month factoring in all fees you mention. Don't let that disuade you from pulling the trigger. You simply aren't going to pay less for a years 'deluxe' service with 20gb of hotspot per month. Note, the taxes do vary by state.
Tough to beat if you can take advantage.

Can't speak to the verizon bundle credit, you can also bundle WIFI with Mint for a discount too.
Just talking straight phone service only, they are on par, the issue being for many on SD, they allseem to be for these one year promo prices, so many are going to flip flop around carriers 1x a year. so if you are on Visible right now and a promo one year price is ending, this is a good option to swtich to.
