I have csp visa.  Was considering changing it to csp mc.  Anyone have csp mc? Curious if it looks the same or different than visa.

Our of curiosity, why would you want to do that? Isn't visa concierge better?

Visa has better perks, but MC has better international acceptance.

Csp has its own concierge service.  Plus I have other vias sig cards.  A mc world card would be nice as there are stores that only accept mc.

I was just approved for this card on Friday, so I haven't received it yet, but I applied through the Mastercard website so I'd get a Mastercard version.  I wanted a Mastercard since my Freedom was Visa already and for Sam's Club.  I think it looks the same except it has that nice silver Mastercard logo.
