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.

    Why would they do this? Debit charges can fail if got enough funds. Cc almost always goes through. The only risk is a charge back.

    I would NEVER do this. CC in the US have actual consumer protection laws. Debit does not.

      My guess is to get better pricing at their bank for the ACH they’re probably already using and reduce the CC network fees they’re paying. Just a guess though.
