Credit card transactions between friends still aren't that easy. Not everyone likes (or has) Paypal, etc.

Something like this would be extremely helpful for situations like multiple couples renting a beach house or people chipping in for an expensive gift for somebody else.

I have used WePay (https://www.wepay.com/) in the past and really liked it. They charge less than Mint is planning on charging. For credit cards its 3.5% with a 50 cent min. The fee is less if you use your bank account.
Credit cards are the wrong payment method for paying friends. Credit cards make sense for strangers paying strangers where the payment needs to occur instantly and at least one party is willing to pay up to 3%, none of these being the case when paying friends.
