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.

At least give us auto pay by CC customers some benefit - I know that the amount that the CC company charges you for using my card is a LOT LESS than the $15 extra you're going to charge me going forward. Given all the issues with hacking of customer accounts, it will be a cold day in h--- before I give anyone access to my bank account or debit card to make auto withdrawals. At least I can challenge fraudulent charges made to my CC… if a hacker drains my bank account because T-Mobile gets hacked, I'm stuck and I would bet a lot of cash that T-Mobile's response will be "sorry for your inconvenience"! T-Mobile - you're making it much easier for me to switch providers.
Here's a good read.
