It's the big banks getting richer, not Telus.
Stop using your credit card. Simple as that.
How does a bank make money if people simply pay with their (debit) bank card for things?

If everyone suddenly stops paying with their credit card, watch (other) bank fees suddenly increase. lol

I have never paid a regular monthly bill with my credit card. I pay them through my banking app from the comfort of my lazyboy recliner.

Very true. I pay through my banking app also. 
Some people have chosen new ways to do banking though.
Hopefully Telus won't charge any fees to anyone who's current bank is PC Financial.
Their banking card doubles as a pre paid credit card.
Pay with the phone app through them and it will still register as a (prepaid) credit card,
NOT
a debit card payment.
