- AT&T may soon remove credit card autopay discounts entirely, following a similar move by T-Mobile in 2023.
- Debit card autopay discounts may also be reduced, from $10 to $5, with full discounts now limited to direct bank payments.
- These changes have not been officially confirmed, but rumors suggest the changes could begin as early as April 24.
Although the big carriers have slowed down on directly increasing plan prices, there are plenty of other ways to raise customer costs without drawing as much attention. We’ve seen tactics like steadily increasing dubious infrastructure fees and tampering with auto-pay discounts. It seems some things never change, as according to a report from The Mobile Report, AT&T may soon target customers with autopay discounts.
Citing trusted sources, the publication claims AT&T may follow a controversial move that T-Mobile introduced back in 2023. At the time, the Uncarrier faced heavy criticism when it removed credit card support for autopay, requiring a debit card or direct bank ACH transaction instead.
