T-Mobile has launched its own Visa credit card. It now ties to the T-Life app with applications ongoing via the website. You can also apply directly through the app and earn cashback on everyday purchases and T-Mobile phones. Rewards also apply toward your bill or new devices. Here's some more information and how you can apply.
T-Mobile's Visa Signature card is ready for spending
A Visa card is a payment card that works on the Visa network. It's among the most accepted payment systems in the world. Now that T-Mobile has partnered with Capital One to make their own Visa Signature card, everyday spending is a little more rewarding for loyal customers.
Every purchase fetches cashback that you can use toward your T-Mobile bill, phones, and accessories. The wireless carrier issued a press release on November 4.
Our customers are increasingly looking for rewards and more value and T-Mobile Visa is our way of giving our customers both. We’re talking more rewards, more benefits and more value from America’s Best Mobile Network to give customers the VIP treatment they deserve.
André Almeida, President of Growth & Emerging Businesses at T-Mobile.
Besides a 2% return, purchases made directly through T-Mobile earn 5% back, which adds up quickly if you upgrade devices often or buy gear for family lines. There’s also a built-in monthly benefit. It guarantees that if you use the card for AutoPay on an eligible plan, you get a $5 discount per line every month.
A family with eight lines should see around $40 come off their bill every month. Over the course of a year, that's $480 in guaranteed savings before even counting rewards. Plus, there are no annual fees.

More rewards added to Magenta Status
If you’ve been a long-time T-Mobile customer, then you’re used to the company stacking perks on top of your phone plan. The Magenta Status, for example, is a special rewards program that offers free Wi-Fi on flights, international data when traveling, streaming perks, and discounts on hotels and rental cars.
The Visa Signature card adds on top of the normal program. Specifically, can get up to 50% discounts on certain hotel and rental car bookings through T-Mobile’s travel portal. You can also save extra money on gas at Shell for a limited time with up to 25 cents off per gallon on Tuesdays.
All of those perks are in addition to the regular 2% rewards that the card earns on every purchase inside the T-Life app. Among the weekly offers teased, T-Mobile mentioned a free movie ticket on November 11 to watch the new Now You See Me: Now You Don't movie.
You can start applying for the card on the company’s website. Initially, users discovered the application page before it was officially supposed to launch. But when people clicked the Find out how to apply button, it led to a broken page. T-Mobile then removed it and later restored it.
On November 10, you'll be able to apply for it in physical T-Mobile stores. If you get approved, you'll immediately receive a digital version of the card so you can start using it right away.
