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 turned autopay off. No one gets direct access to my bank account. That info gets on the dark web… and we know T-Mobile like many companies have had HUGE breaches… and you can get wiped out with NO recourse for recovery! I cannot believe that T-Mobile pays much over 1.25% and that would be a reduction of $1.18 for the use of a credit card. BUT since autopay is a HUGE lowering of costs over paper bills and delays in payment, why are they crabbing? I am NOT going to give T-Mobile direct access to my bank account and my best advice is for everyone to turn autopay off and let them bleed then wake up to reality. Got to your account, On the right hand side is "set up autopay" click. once that page is up you will see Autopay is on. Click on it to turn it off. That's it. You can now pay online or on your phone once you get that paper bill.
