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.
No choice but to shop for another provider. Even if we assume TMobile pays the high side at 4%, on an account with 5 lines at $200 a month that means their fees are $8 a month. But this move raises my bill by $25 a month.
This is a price hike, pure and simple.
