Why are you going to charge $20 a month to pay with a credit card?
I just got an email telling me that I am going to be charged $20 a month to use a credit card to pay my monthly bill. This is beyond ridiculous. Why is this happening.
if you would take the time to do a quick search or look a few threads down. It's because credit card companies charge significantly higher rates and fees for the business on transactions than debit cards from banks.
if they were openly raising the monthly price then it wouldnt just affect CCs.

This is crap! T-Mobile is not getting my bank information, nor is any other company. I will start looking at other companies, since you're going to charge more now to use my credit card, or not accept it at all. Still a little unclear on that part.
They will accept your credit card, only you will loose discount on Auto-pay

When looking for a new provider take into consideration the if you have a tax inclusive plan the other carrier may not offer that.
I am just going to drop my home internet, then my bill will go up $10 for my phines and I'll be without internet, saving $40 overall. I'm sick of all the bill increases and cannot take any more!

That's a thing! They are not openly raising monthly prices, since they made commitment around Christmass last year not to raise prices, but removing discounts is not raising prices (eventhough you pay more). Only depends how you call it, but for you means paying more. Treating their customers as sheeps, I would call it.
oh i have said this in here until i was blue in the face...people tend to skip over stuff like this because it doesnt fit into what they believe the answer should be *shrug*
i wouldnt go as far as calling everyone sheeps...theres gotta be a decent reason for this to be happening..V only accepts their own CC card for payments...ATT still allows the use of CC cards but time will tell if they end up pulling that as well...
$10 penalty for paying a $70 bill with a cc is hwy robbery. T-Mobile cost is less than 2 cents because of the volume of transactions. I also pay with my cc because of the cell phone insurance benefit. I'm highly disappointed and as soon as my cell leases are paid I'm definitely jumping ship after 23 years of Sorint T-MOBILE loyalty. Huge bummer for sure.

You can continue to pay with your credit card. However, you will lose the autopay discount as that now only applies to debit card payments setup on autopay.
I prefer to pay with credit card as THAT is protected in the event of another TM data breach, and i can simply direct Visa not to pay any unauthorized amount.
I will never give direct access to my total bank funds for any "discount".
