Auto Pay with credit cards ends
Tmobile is ending Autopay with credit cards starting in May. This is a bad PR move l with all the data breached. Who would with a sound mind link their bank account to autopay?

im a bit curious as to how the bank payment option would work or not work. i know through Chase i have a bill pay option in there..wondering if this has some kind of protection guarantee or additional security compared to just adding bank info or a debit card?
When you refer to Chase, do you mean their Credit Card Product, or their Bank Account Product? If you do regular banking with Chase, and you are referring to a bill pay option where you initiate the payment (even if scheduled to "Automatically" pay), then this does not qualify for the TMO discount because you initiated the payment. TMO wants to be able to pull from your account, not have it pushed to them. It's getting riskier by the week.
bank account which would be tied to your debti card.
i have never used it but you cant set up auto pay through it? i would think most would have things set up like gas/electric etc.
see now its getting more interesting..V lets you use a CC card and get the discount but its their own CC card..i was seeing this over on their site all the way back to 2014 (got tired of looking at their threads by that point lol). so is that going to be in TMOs future? their own CC card?

Not Verizon, they took this away a while ago. Not sure about AT&T.
AT&T allows autopay with credit cards as of 8/30/23

I am on a very tight fixed income. Will NOT provide anyone access to my bank account. Loosing the auto pay discount hurts my budget significantly. Just another way to screw Seniors over. I've been with T Mobile forever. (Since mid '90's) Looking into changing.

ATT still allows you to receive a discount for using CC cards..V does not. you must use their own CC card..so looks like you’ll be headed towards ATT or one of their affiliates
