MasterCard/Visa - noticing a pattern.

[Anonymous]

All my cards are Visa and I don't recall ever getting an offer for a MC.  Could the area of the country one lives in play a role (maybe MC and Visa target different markets?)

natezero:  If you're looking for a Visa, there is a Visa featuring the Dallas Cowboys.

I see the JCB logo more and more at different stores. Gamestop for example accepts them.

Haha I'll keep it in mind gangof4

I've noticed the same thing

All of my cards are either AmEx or MC. I'd like to add a Visa just to round out the wallet but all the cards I want seem to be issued only on MC or AmEx.

Figured I would ask about it to see if others are experiencing the same.

I just realized a few weeks ago that I have not held a Visa card in nearly 3 years.  Not for lack of trying - I've gotten a lot of cards since then, but they are all MasterCard.

I know some of the larger banks - Chase, Citibank, Bank of America - are still offering Visa cards.  Question is, why isn't anyone else?  Does it seem to anyone else that Visa cards are starting to become a rare breed?

All of my cards are Visa cards. I've had one card that was MC and it's since been closed. I can't say that I've noticed that. Why not go straight to the Visa website and check out their mix of cards. This is usually what I do when I'm thinking about applying for a card.

Two Mastercards, three Visas, Discover, an Amex...got a pretty good mix I guess..

I manage a small chain of restaurants at the airport and 50% of all charges are visa 30% mastercard 19% amex and 0 to 1% discover. Before  most corporate cards came from amex that is changing now you see a lot of corporate cards to be visa or mc. A lot more than before.

3 debit Visas (1 joint account and 1 individual account with my credit union, and 1 individual checking out from M & T)

3 Visa credit cards (CU, Chase, BofA)

2 Mastercards (both Cap One)

1 Discover

Visa dominates my wallet but I have to say that my Discover card gets the most exercise.
