Maybe I shouldn’t be as pissed as I am but, for me, I like using my Apple card for autopay because I get 3% back with T-Mobile charges. What I like to do is use my CCs to max my rewards / cash back and then pay off my card each month.

Maybe I’m overreacting, but I’m not happy about this. Of course I don’t want to pay an additional $40 a month on my phone bill so yes, I’m switching autopay to a Privacy card, but F—, man.

Okay, I’m done lol

Edit 6/6/1023: So I made a new virtual card but when I add it to my T-Mobile account the site adds it and says it’s not supported for the discount. They’re going to force me to enter a physical debit card or bank account or pay an additional $40/month.

T-Mobile really has been sucking with their service strength in NY. But they’re doing very well at driving me crazy.

    I do not link my bank account to vendors like this. Discounts aren’t worth it, in time cost alone, when something goes wrong and you have to recoup your money.

    I’ll autopay off a CC and pay that. Or pay monthly manually. Those are the choices, full stop.

    It’s easier to handle fraud or theft with a CC who hasn’t gotten their money yet.

      T-Mobile doesn’t even let me setup auto pay. I’m a Sprint customer that got converted. Sprint app no longer works, T-Mobile doesn’t recognize me.

      I still get the removed but it makes me pay manually, using the short code from the phone app… And since I can’t see it get into the account, can’t pay off or buy my current phone.

      Once I get time off near August I hope to deal with that. And after, may just switch to something like mint. Hardly use any data, text, or talk, just needed phone financing and insurance.
