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? https://tmo.report/20...
- They are not ending autopay with credit cards. They are requiring debit card or ACH info in order to receive the $5/line AutoPay discount. If you dont mind paying $5 more per line, you can continue paying them whatever way you currently pay them.
- If the security issue bothers you, just open a second account somewhere that will give you a debit card at no charge - there are options out there, including Tmobile's own MONEY service. Personally, I just opened a free Fidelity Cash Management account, with no monthly minimums, no charges, and a free Debit card. I'll use it just for T-Mobile and keep my regular banking separate
- If none of the above makes you happy, you're free to vote with your wallet and go someplace else. Keep in mind that Verizon started this a few years ago, T-Mobile is following.. You can probably expect other companies inlcuding AT&T to start doing the same - companies are going to discontinue offering discounts for something that costs them more money, and unfortunately this trend is likely going to continue.
