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.

I'm torn. I pay my bill with the 3rd credit card, the orange one, I don't remember what it's called, I don't carry it with me. Only use it for the cash back. NOBODY has my bank account info except the mortgage people. I don't like to use a debit card since it's coming right out of my account and if that number becomes breached (thanks t-mo), then that's a drain on my account. Is all that worth $10? Not really sure.
I feel the same way. I use credit card as well because I am protected. I never, ever use a debit card for anything other than cash withdrawals at my bank. This one ticks me off because they are paying less than 1.5% charge. a little more than $1. So now they can send me a paper bill and I will still use my credit card.online to pay. The risk to me is not worth $10 as my debit card is tied to both my checking and savings accounts. I don't trust T-mobile to adequately protect my billing information as they have had multiple breeches.
