It looks like a lot of unsuspecting participants blinded by effective marketing are about to get ripped off hard. "Retail Purchase Fee: $4.00" From https://www.t-mobilemoneyservices.com/NeedHelp/Fees https://www.t-mobilemoneyservices.com/NeedHelp/Fees Let's just hope folks using the service have a T-Mobile number! With the average debit card holder making about 18.3 purchases per month (and likely more for the targeted demographic because many in this starvation-wage tier have to make more purchases due to lack of sufficient storage or time), it looks like a nice $75/mo unannounced subscription fee.
- kemayo 13y agoThe phrasing of "No charge at participating T-Mobile stores; if purchased elsewhere, the fee will be refunded to card account within 30 days" makes me suspect that fee is actually just the cost of getting the initial card.
- BrandonRead 13y agoThanks for that clarification, I got pretty worked up thinking they were being that scummy.

- BrandonRead 13y agoThanks, I was clearly out to be angry at T-Mobile for no good reason. Maybe it was the 6 fine-print items on one of their pages that set me off...
