Possible Telus credit card payment fee

[marcnoel]

Just a heads-up - an article on Mobilesyrup states that Telus wants to add a credit card processing fee of 1.5%, so we might get it at PM.

So what would be solution?

If and when they announce to rip us off to do one $200-$300 account load through CC? That will keep lowest plan holder in business for at least a year.

To switch to vouchers?

I posted this last night

It was moved to the lounge for some reason but there are some good points in there from a few community members on the whys and what to expect

Can't say I'm surprised

@umnikke8    Debit MC is also accepted, or at least the BMO Debit MC, not sure about any others though.

I noted that other than credit cards, Public only accepts Visa Debit for Autopay. That would be an annoyance.

HI @marcnoel   

thanks for the heads up

honest, they really need that 1.5%?  But I think if Telus going for it, the rest will follow..Rogers, Bell...  It's just a matter of time PM will join that , or they will increase plan charge to hide it there

All the telcos are missing those monthly "network service fees"... they never fail to find another way to grab more money from subscriber's pockets. This is especially funny given Telus's profits in their last fiscal quarter.

More nickel and diming us! TBH, I'm not surprised!
