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.

Just stating facts. They all do get hacked. And some of those hacks for all three were employees hacking other employees emails to get access to unlock codes to sell.
Ridiculous and illogical argument by another cheerleader and possible T-Mobile commenter with 6,651 replies out here. So your argument, It happens to all of them so there is nothing wrong with T-Mobile forcing users to give up their banking information or jacking your rates by 10% per phone, four times Credit Card fees. Sure, that's how you define integrity on their part, right? IMO everyone should bail on the T-Mobile German owned service. Find an American carrier. T-Mobile clearly don't give a crap about Americans banking security and think them dumb enough to submit to this ultimatum.
Call me what you want but I started a thread about this 4 months ago.

And when I make a post that people don't like they automatically think I work for Tmobile.
Plus it not a ridiculous argument do some research.

Clearly it's a waste trying to discuss logic with you. Logic of Gramps28, Since other carriers have also been hacked, T-Mobile should further jeopardize the customers banking security by eliminating Credit Card protections and require their banking information now be available during all future hacks. It's not only illogical and ridiculous, it's hilarious.
If you read my original post about the change to autopay it's basically what I said four months ago..
I did some research into Verizon but saw that they require bank information for autopay discount unless you used a Verizon credit card. Plans were quite a bit more.
I'm not an advocate of ever using your debit card on the internet and I can't believe people do use it.
