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.

    This looks like a scam text message asking for banking information. Is that hyperlink going to a true T-Mobile website?

      This this this.

      Don’t interact with this message!

      Go straight to T-Mobile.com. Check your account for any messages like this.

      I haven’t heard of this at all for anyone, including myself. T-Mobile and Apple have a deal for Apple Card to be used for that 3 percent on service payments. Why would they randomly change it without warning or publication

        I confirmed it with a store representative when I switched around a month or so ago. You only get the AutoPay discount with a debit card now. It was effective immediately for new customers and is now rolling out to existing customers.

        I’ve been getting the same texts. And emails. And a banner across the top of their website.

        Although, it’s only $10 for me, not $40.

      This isn’t a scam message. I received the same message a few days ago, different date due to billing cycle differences. This is the same thread that confirms my automatic payment has been received.

      The change is real, there’s a bunch of news articles about it. I still wouldn’t click the link though and go to the website manually to change it
