Verizon halved my $10 AutoPay discount out of the blue — just because it can.

Starting October 10th, along with many, many others, I’ll be paying another $5 per month. Verizon has been smoking out grandfathered plans with price hikes, hoping customers will switch to “myPlan,” but possible savings will come at a loss of benefits to the customer.

We want to let you know about an upcoming change to your Auto Pay discount. Here’s what to expect: While we continue to offer Auto Pay benefits, your $10/line discount will be reduced to $5/mo. and your bill will increase starting on or after 10.10.2024. However, your current plan price and benefits will remain unchanged. You also have the option of moving to myPlan, where you’ll receive an Auto Pay discount of $10/mo for every line you switch.
Thanks guys.
