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.

Now that they've wrecked their auto-pay business with removing credit cards… I'm not going to give them my real bank account info for them to take out as much as they want. Temporarily I'm using those cheap savings accounts and pushing $ into that… But that in itself is upsetting due to the fact that they are dictating how everyone pays for the service to get a discount. Ever heard the expression "the customer is always right? They don't think so. I'm shopping for a new carrier. I've been with T-mobile since 2013. It was a decent 10 years but they got too big (and greedy) and seemingly don't care about their customers anymore.
Be careful. Any time your bank account -- even a cheap savings account used just for autopay -- is overdrawn, you may be charged a fee by your bank and your credit rating may be affected.
