I'm not sure that's even legal or if it violates their agreement with the credit card companies.
None of the major companies let you charge more for paying with a credit card. They can claim they're only charging more for making single payments with a card, not recurring ones, but I don't really see the difference.
The difference that they're giving for the justification is that auto-pay members are less likely to be delinquent. Of course, if you're delinquent that's just another fee they get to assess, so the real reason is that they get to withdraw what they want rather than you sending what you want. It could also be different in how the payment is transferred to them - if you do a one-time debit payment and have insufficient funds, the payment probably won't process. If you have auto-pay, it could be that you'll overdraft and the bank will take the hit / assess the fees.

I have literally never dropped a single call ever. I didn't actually believe it was a real thing for the longest time; like, I assumed it was a 1 in a 10,000 glitch.
I have never picked up my phone and not been able to make a call either.
Unless Verizon does something really ridiculous I will never leave them. I have the cheapest plan possible because it doesn't cost me minutes to call people due to everyone else having Verizon too.

When I renew license plates, etc on line with the county, I have a $2.50 convenience fee per transaction.
I will be driving to the Verizon store and paying there. It's 2 minutes away.

I had AT&T but the coverage where I'm at sucks. Then along came my son with a Straight Talk phone. He had unlimited everything and got GREAT reception. I'm now on Straight Talk. Oh ya, the free app lets me hit my wifi, too.

I know some people who love Straight Talk and some who hated it.
Since we switched to Verizon, I have no problems with the service.

I like T Mobile. Like how the merger with ATT is off.

Just put a stamp on a check it costs you .44. See my post http://vnboards.ign.com/outpost/b22180/115953871/p1/?7 The govt is letting banks skim 2.35% for and 2.35% for states from our tax dollars. So 5% of the tax revenue is juice to some banks

What an idiotic thing to even suggest. People really dont like this kind of stuff.
Punish people who regularly pay their bills? Madness. Raise the fees for people who dont pay their bills on time instead
