I changed to bank account auto payment but did not get $10 per month discount.

@XfinityJosephA​ thanks! I would suggest updating the email to mention that, it doesn't mention this at all or any other caveats. I will check again in 2 billing cycles.

Got it. Great feedback, @user_tf3p9z! The article, of course, mentions it. But I'm not sure if I've heard any customer share with us before that the email doesn't advise of the possible time frame. If you need anything else in the meantime, please let us know. Our team remains here to support you and your household however we can!

THANKS!!!!  I was wondering if it was safe.  Happy Holidays!

I agree - I was wondering how Xfinity could justify a $10 rebate each month just for switching to bank autopay.  Is this deal simply Plaid buying access to all our banking info? Curious indeed and not worth it. 

Good point! Selling personal data for $10 is not worth it. Xfinity has no responsibility over Plaid. Xfinity most likely get paid by Plaid.

Read below what Plaid collects from you! Terrible practice as the real intent is hidden and you need to read all agreements in details to realize what happens.

It's kind of social engineering to buy personal data for cheap.

Data we collect from financial institutions about and from your accounts. Depending on which Plaid products or services you, or the developer of your app use, as well as what, and how information is made available, we may collect the following data from your financial institutions:

• Account data, including financial institution name, account name, account type, account ownership, branch number, IBAN, BIC, account number, routing number, and sort code;

• Data about an account balance, including current and available balance;

• Data about credit accounts, including due dates, balances owed, payment amounts and dates, transaction history, credit limit, repayment status, and interest rate;

• Data about loan accounts, including due dates, repayment status, balances, payment amounts and dates, interest rate, guarantor, loan type, payment plan, and terms;

• Data about investment accounts, including transaction information, type of asset, identifying details about the asset, quantity, price, fees, and cost basis;

• Identifiers and data about the account owner(s), including name, email address, phone number, date of birth, and address information;

• Data about account transactions, including amount, date, payee, type, quantity, price, location, involved securities, and a description of the transaction; and/or

• Data from your payroll and tax documents, including data about your income and employer, in cases where you've connected your payroll accounts or provided us with your pay stub or tax form information.

Depending on the Plaid service you or the developer of your app use, and the manner in which the data is made available, the data collected from your financial accounts may include data from all accounts (e.g., checking, savings, credit card, and joint accounts) accessible through a single set of account credentials. For more specifics about data collected in connection with different products and services, see Summary of Processing Activities by Product.

Afterthought... Just think what happens when (not if) Plaid is hacked and your data is available for on dark web...
