Of course, there’s an extremely simple way to avoid paying more on each bill, as the AutoPay discount will go unchanged for customers using debit cards, bank accounts, or T-Mobile Money.
Starting May 20, T-Mobile plans to inform all subscribers affected by this change of the new policy, with SMS notifications to be sent 30, 15, and 3 days before the discount is actually removed from your account, thus giving you plenty of time to update to an “eligible” payment method mentioned above.
The only option to circumvent the change, as pointed out by a number of our readers back in February, is to put a debit card or bank account as your preferred payment method but then continue to use your credit card to manually cover your monthly bill ahead of time.
Then again, while AT&T’s AutoPay requirements don’t appear to exclude credit cards in any way, Verizon only accepts Visa cards with its literal name on them as an alternative to debit cards and bank accounts.
