T-Mobile might soon make up for one of its most controversial changes of the last couple of years
While T-Mobile has certainly been embroiled in a number of bigger controversies over the last year or so, I'm sure some of you still remember how much flak the "Un-carrier" caught with a small but clearly significant AutoPay discount change back in 2023.
Well, if time hasn't yet healed that wound for you, Magenta might be looking to make amends (of sorts) in the relatively near future. That's right, a T-Mobile-branded credit card is apparently on its way to the market. If you didn't expect this story to go in that direction, then allow me to apologize.
But even though I have zero concrete information to support my theory, there's simply no way that T-Mo will launch a Verizon and AT&T-rivaling credit card of its own and not allow you to pay your monthly bill with it and receive a nice discount in the process.
Still, it's obviously wise to stick to the facts and not get ahead of ourselves here. And the facts are that the almost always reliable folks over at The Mobile Report have heard from their almost always trustworthy sources on the inside that a T-Mobile credit card will "soon" be offered to customers.
Furthermore, the same publication has purportedly managed to find a pretty convincing depiction of this as-yet-unreleased product in the T-Life app (of all places), which strongly suggests that the rumor is not only real, but likely to materialize before long.
While the image could very well be a mockup of an unfinished design taken into consideration rather than something etched in stone, I have to say I very much dig the sleek black-and-magenta color combo. Of course, what's more important about the leaked picture is that it seemingly reveals the name of T-Mobile's banking partner in this upcoming venture - Capital One.
In case you're wondering, the official Verizon Visa Card and AT&T Points Plus Credit Card from Citi both offer an assortment of cool benefits and discounts on everything from groceries to takeout and gas, and knowing T-Mobile, its credit card will most likely try to take all that to the next level.
