Rogers Greed

So they announced they'll now be charging a 1.6%fee for all credit card payments for bill payments (TELUS tried this a year ago and it lasted a year)

And now they announce that if you have their auto pay discount, you'll only be eligible if your auto pay card is a Rogers bank credit card or pre authorized debit...majority of people don't have a Rogers bank credit card and Most people don't like the auto debit cuz when they overcharge its a pain to get your money back, they add a credit to you bill instead of refunding the charge unless u specifically ask for a full payment refund, which would then require you to make a payment again for the refunded payment

These telcos seriously need a proper check... Reported $21billion in revenue last year alone, and yet they can't afford to pay the credit card processing fee

And lets not even begin to talk about the paywall to watch hockey now too

I just call my bank once per month a pay my bills. Never felt comfortable with auto pay, credit card payments etc.
But yeah, it looks as though they are doing their best to extract as much $ as possible.

Autopay lets them have your money even if there is a problem that is their fault which happens a lot. Managing your payments and scheduling those has worked extremely well for me and when there is some BS issue, I still hold onto my money and tell them well you fix it and I'll buck up, they try to charge interest etc, I just send them the chat transcript. Resolves every time.
Fuckers.

I got sucked into one of their discount deals over 20 years ago. They were always trying to nickel and dime the shit out of me.
I dumped them and never gave them another thought.
