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

    Yes it sucks to loose out on $3 cash back for every $100 in bill charges. But that’s not going to get close to covering the $40 autopsy discount. Verizon has been doing this for a while now and it sucks. They just want to avoid paying transaction fees.

    What grinds my gears is that you have to give their system your information that could directly result in you losing the actual money. If a CC number gets used fraudulently you are not out anything. Your debit card or bank account number and you could be fucked with no money while the investigation goes on.

      I know it’s negligible, and certainly not covering the $40. It’s just the way I like to use my funding, cramping my style, so to speak (and removes choice). But as for the stealing of the credit cards, I know, I hate giving my numbers across the Internet. That’s why I started to use Privacy - it’s not credit but at least I don’t have to give my numbers out.
