Ways to pay AT&T
| Way | Accepted | Fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Card on the biller's own site | Yes | No fee published | Card payment is possible: AT&T's fine print says AutoPay with a credit card is allowed but forfeits the discount. Fees and networks are not published. |
| Bank account (ACH) | Yes | Free | Bank-account AutoPay with paperless billing earns $10 per line per month. The AT&T Points Plus Card from Citi also qualifies. |
What it is worth for your phone or internet bill
Example amount shown; change it to yours.
| Way to pay | Fee per payment | Net per year |
|---|---|---|
| Card on the biller's own site (no fee published) | $0 | +$29 |
| Bank account (ACH) | $0 | $0 |
Rewards minus fees, twelve payments a year. A negative number means a card costs you money.
When a card is worth it
With no card fee published, a card that earns 2% turns a $120 phone or internet bill into about $29 a year. Pay the card in full each month, and confirm the fee at checkout.
Watch out for
The AutoPay and paperless discount is $10 per line with a bank account or the AT&T Points Plus Card from Citi. It drops to $5 per line with a debit card and is zero with any other credit card.
