Since Costco isn't a concern for you, I think you'd probably be okay without Visa. Most places in the US that accept CCs seem to accept both Visa and MC. As for international acceptance, I'm not sure how Visa compares to MC.
is odd that i dont have a MC ! lol i feel your pain

Is it odd I don't have a MasterCard, Simplicity is an AU account.

Under the terms of the agreements, Citi, the world's largest issuer of consumer credit cards, would become the exclusive issuer of Costco's co-brand credit cards and Visa will replace American Express as the credit card network for Costco in the United States and Puerto Rico beginning April 1, 2016. Once issued, Costco's co-brand Visa credit card would provide generous rewards to Costco members, serve as the Costco membership card, and would be accepted at Costco locations in the United States and Puerto Rico, as well as all merchants worldwide that accept Visa credit cards.
Or you can switch to BJ's (if you have them around). I used to use Costco, but BJ's has the same selection, less crowds, same prices as much as I can tell, and is open longer (better hours). I also find them less restrictive, you can pay with whatever you want card wise. Restricting people to JUST Visa for CC is a bit silly, but I know it's nothing new for Costco.
Meh I've been to BJ's and wasn't impressed. I also live a lot closer to Costco then BJ'S.
Go for the Venture Visa Sig.

I got a prequalification for it, but I don't think I need it. I don't travel and I think that the cards I have right now cover my needs well. Everyone loves the Venture, but I don't think that I will ever need it, to be honest.
