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.

What is a point is the one I was making - without the discount, T-Mobile is no longer price competitive with AT&T, and AT&T has better data limits for the same price. I've no idea WRT Verizon.
“Everybody blows” isn’t really a good marketing position either.
And, as I said, after three strikes, deciding on a policy that puts me at greater risk in the next round of data breaches is an even worse one.
Claiming that the 3% charge justifies what is basically a 14% price increase is also a turnoff.
So feel free to address those points. Rather than complain that I'm picking on T-Mobile as if it were the only offender. I wasn't.
did TMO prmote this somewhere?
my point is pretty simple..its for ALL to do a bit of research before up and jumping. most of yall keep pointing out how youre jumping to V due to this whole ordeal..which V does not give discounts for CC card auto pay (you must use the V CC card to get the discount if youre going the CC route)..ATT just cut their discount in half from $10 per line per month to $5..and limited it to only certain plans (would be interesting to see why they cut theirs in half out of the blue)..research.. but TMOs been hacked such and such amounts of times..yeah..they all did lol..numerous times..even this year its happened.
since you seem to have missed the bottom part of my post above yours i’ll re add it here..might even bold it for those that cant see it…
“mainly for those that are wanting to jump..dig into those other options..many of you are only concentrating on looking up stuff for TMO but not any of the other carriers youre thinking about jumping to.”
