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.

My credit company lets me know if there are changes in reoccurring billing, this does not happen with banks. My friends and family were fed up with billing issues like extra charges and changing bills and so forth ... most of them ended up changing providers.
It is not correct to say banks don't send alerts on Debit cards. It is correct to say it is not the default (nor is it for credit cards) but generally you can setup alerts for many things. I get alert for any debit card use and a plethora of other things based on the settings at my bank.
Of course I’m still not going to give my Debit or Bank account number to T-Mobile but did want to point out what you wrote had that one bit of misinformation in it
