what's up with T-mobile removing autopay discount for credit cards?
I just literally signed up for a new plan - debit cards have fees for providers too - accessing my bank account isn’t a good approach from a security perspective (noting that T-mobile has been hacked...
That was announced months ago. It is because credit card companies charge a service charge that is based on the percentage of every transaction, which eats into T-Mobile's revenue. Removing the auto pay discount for credit cards negates that.

Tmobile best rethink this decision.
The same! So even if I do accept this change and pay with my debit or bank account, I will STILL lose money.
I have been with T-Mobile, essentially, since before they were T-Mobile (VoiceStream), and I have mostly enjoyed the perks of having their service. However, over the recent years, they have been steadily doing things that cause me to think about other carriers.
i recommend doing your research on those carriers then. for the bigs the only one allowing a discount for auto pay with a CC card is ATT..V doesnt do the CC card deal either..you must use their own CC card in order for this to happen.
Yeah...I know, but it is just the principle of it all. Why can't it only be applied to new customers? Or be based on if you have had issues paying your bill and you lose the "privilege" that way? I've been with them too long and would appreciate a grandfather clause or something...
