T-Mobile getting rid of credit card, apple pay payments for auto pay customers … good or bad?

Hello folks,

I think I’m going to file this under the “I can’t belive I’m reading this shit” department.

I’d personally like to thank Herbie for boosting this 9 to 5 Mac post, as it really was informative.

It was informative because it shows that T-Mobile really “wants to protect their users” by only accepting bank transfers or debit card auto pay options.

The article must be read if you’re a T-Mobile customer. Its titled T-Mobile ditches AutoPay discount for Apple Pay despite history of security woes and is one of the worst decisions they could possibly make.

How did they come up with the fact aht they pay higher fees taking credit cards VS debit cards? I don’t pay any higher fees with one VS the other. It doesn’t make any sense. Even if their claim is correct, that’s part of doing business! If you don’t want to pay the higher fees, you pass it along to the customer. I’ve seen it done and it technically can be factored in to the price of what you offer.

Have fun with this one!

  1. Hmmm who knows.
    I’d think its a good idea to do that, however auto pay should be direct transfer but who knows.
    How do they expect people to pay?
    On the other end a lot of companies are pushing for monthly or yearly plans and you do use a credit card for those or the bank well there is even an automatic payment system locally for automatics but yeah.
    Credit cards are widely used, security could be an issue which is why maybe you would dropp some services and maybe apple and google pay, but then so is paypal, I mean how would that work.
    I know what I’d do, I’d move to another previder.
    T mobile has had issues in the past and some users don’t care, its going to loose more users.
