Is that for 2 lines?
I did noticed that I stopped getting a credit of $5 as of March 2019, but I definitely have NOT been getting a non-compliance fee as of today.
On a related note, I was going to try to switch to my Paypal Business Debit card. If that works, than overall it becomes 11% off of my bill versus 5% USBank+.

How have they declined, in your opinion?

Since this could be my last post due to internet affordability issues, I would recommend looking up the difference between your/you're.
Ok, that was funny.

Is that in addition to not getting the discount?
I only have 1 line and that was the addition to my new bill this month for non compliance from last month's bill.. $5 for non auto pay and $5 for paying with a credit card.
I was saving $120 per year by leaving autopay on with the checking account and would get rewards with the CC by paying early and having no balance before autopay withdraws. So all in all, with the CC rewards and auto pay loophole I was getting about $180 per year in savings. Great while it lasted but it sounds like too many people caught on

Autopay is only worth $5 a month to an individual. 'Reduced to the Ridiculous' and that's only 16 cents a day to the consumer but it's worth millions to the carrier.
It is a $25 / month loss for me (5 lines). I guess others could care less about losing $25 / month.

They were never AirTouch Cellular. The absorbed AirTouch just like they absorbed Cellular One and Alltel among several other carriers throughout the years. Every carrier has their good and bad. Verizon puts more money into their network than any other carrier. They've done some off-the-wall stuff that made zero sense to us but obviously it effects them somehow. I'm not going to get upset with any person or company that is trying to put themselves in a better financial position, after all Verizon is in business to make money.
I have the Auto-pay feature and I'm wondering what ill effects I'll see next billing cycle which will be on the 10th of August.
AirTouch Cellular disappeared and became Verizon. I've had the same cellular service since 1994 along with the same phone number. Hence ATC became Verizon
