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.

So is it total BS, sure. But as it seems other carriers are doing it or thinking about it, well, it could be worse. Like paying Comcast, but don’t even get me started about those guys...

 

 

yeah Verizon started this years ago.. for them if you want the discount you must use a debit card/bank info or their own Verizon CC card..

 

i think ATT is one of the last bigs to still do the CC card discount..but if im thinking right that also depends on which plan you are on.

 

and dont get me started with Comcast lol.

I agree with the other commenters that point out your continual defense of T-Mobile with (They did it too!). I also agree that you sure seem to be working for T-Mobile.

funny how that is the first thing people jump to when they dont agree with what is being said.. or the fact that you jumped in on this when i was responding to another poster that pointed out pretty much the same thing i have been saying..TMO isnt the only one that has done this..

 

my point since day one of this was yall need to put in a tad bit of research before posting.. as an extra example...TMO is currently looking into purchasing Mint..one of the 3 fully American companies you just mentioned. which now puts you down to 2 fully American companies.

 

 

anywho...side note for anyone in here..most banks have bill pay..personally have never used it but one would think that their security for such a thing would be higher than just dumping your bank info or debit card info to a company...anyone use the bill pay options and have any info on how it works etc? might be the work around if it has higher security
