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.
T-Mobile is affiliated (I suspect they actually own the bank, likely through their parent company) with some bank, you may rest assured that they are getting a very good rate on the credit card discount.
One of the inducements for me to use T-Mobile was the discount they offered and now they are taking that away. They are changing the terms and conditions of their deals with their customers ex post facto.
As individuals we are powerless in the short run and we will be forced to comply with these lying lowlife reptiles. In the longer run we may abandon these sobs for other carriers but it is my hope that some law firm sues them in such way as to make them notorious for bad faith dealings with their customers as their modus operandi.
In the current competitive environment they can’t openly raise prices, this is their lowlife means to screw their customers.
