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.

- With credit card I have insurance from Amex.
- I never use debit card or checking account because of security.
- if somebody states that they would like to remove fees for credit card use… fees are not 12% they are just 2.3%
Is it even legal to violate terms of agreement during sign up?
for what its worth TMO is in the process of acquiring Mint..so you would have been in the same boat no matter the choice on this one. V allows CC usage but no discount for using it unless its the Verizon CC card. ATT just lowered their discount from $10 per month per line to $5 and only with certain accounts.
Mint still works, with CC, great choice for those who moves from T-Mobile, if they prepay for a year or 15 months right now. Another option is comcast. Every company has limitation. What T-Mobile did seem wrong.
