I just noticed that I implicitly view Mastercard as inferior

I view them as all the same. Maybe 15-20 years ago one was better than the other. Now virtually every store accepts both.

Mastercard is stuck in the 80s/90s in the public psyche. Visa is the international card of the future. Amex is for people who want to appear rich. PRAISE VISA

Do they just need to rebrand?

Why are they sticking with the two fucking circles?

As an Australian I view Mastercard and visa as equals
Idk how it works in the states or Europe but here you don't even get a choice it just depends on which one your bank went with, so no real difference.

And I view Amex as the next level up purely cause they're rare here

canada here
mastercard and visa were equally accepted everywhere, but now walmart will not be accepting visa

There are no good Visa credit cards. I mainly use my Citi Doublecash and it's a Mastercard. My debit card is a Visa but I only use it for withdrawing cash from ATMs.

UK here. Visa seems to be the preferred brand (Barclays recently made the decision to switch Barclaycard from MasterCard to Visa) but in practice both are accepted just about anywhere.

Amex comes a very poor third place though.

I care not for such trifles

Who fucking cares? It isn't like the '70s or whatever, when some stores only accepted one or the other. You just pick the one with the best rewards/lowest rate (or, if you're a typical credit card user, you just start using the first one that you get a pre-approval offer in the mail for).

> no good Visa cards.
How about any of the Chase Sapphires or Bank of America Cash Rewards? They're all Visa and are pretty good. My BofA Cash Rewards card has better rewards than my Citi Double Cash (only because of the preferred rewards interest rate booster, but a base of 1%/2%/3% on everything/gas/groceries isn't bad)

stay far away from Chase anything. you'll be nickel and dimed for every nickel and dime.

>>1503319
Yeah, I only have a credit card with them (no bank accounts). The sign on bonus for my Chase Sapphire Preferred was pretty good, you can redeem your points for decent rewards, and you can feel like a big shot when you hand the cashier your heavier card.

Poorfags I swear

Aeroplan cards + Amex gold. Transfer points between the both at 1:1

>>1503176
Pretty much this. I have a visa card, but I can't remember the last time I used it outside of this one local hardware store only accepting visa. Master Card and Amex just have better cards period.

Discover is fucking useless. Literally the ONLY reason anyone in my family has one is because my college accepted Discover and Amex (and I didn't have amex at the time, my mother never had one), and my bank fucked up a wire transfer in a manner spectacular enough for me to get the FTC involved.

Discover is essentially for poor people.

Ha. Amex have the best points to dollar ratio.
I use a linked diamond Amex with Mastercard so when I come across a business charging a surcharge I swap to Mastercard.
