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.

Personally, I'm not going to worry about it. If they don't raise my rates- ever, as they promised, I'm probably just going to pay the extra $5 for my $50 internet via my current credit card setup and call it a 10% money grab.
I'll just tip the delivery guys/gals a little less, not order out as much altogether, or skip that one extra Venti coffee. I'll make it up over the month in other ways.
I'll just give them the smaller tip with a note on it saying "Sorry, due to T-mobile removing my monthly auto-pay discount, I have no choice but to reduce your service tip. Any questions or issues should be directed to T-Mobile Customer Service by calling #1-800-T-Mobile. Thank you for your understanding and continued support in this matter."
No big deal. Two can play at that game. I'll pass those charges on to someone else. So, if the pizza guy doesn't like it, he can get a better paying job.
Interesting concept, just stick with it and get shafted as long as you can shaft someone else that has nothing to do with it. I guess that is why outfits do it, people will submit.
