Approval! But now I have all MC??

 

Cap 1 platinum and citi double cash approval - yes, low limits. $1k and $700, respectively. But, have to start somewhere. 

 

My question is, with these two new additions, I now have all MC: I currently have a barclaycard rewards MC, not counting VS card. Is having all MC bad? Should I mix in a Visa, or am I able to PC any of these to a Visa in the future? 

 

If this has already been answered or is in the wrong area, please advise and accept my apologies. 

 

Thanks! This site is a saving grace.

It's not bad having all MCs! They are accepted everywhere, just like Visas. But, some businesses can be fickle. So that's why I have both in my wallet. Also, an Amex.

whew! Ok, thanks for the reassurance. I knew about card acceptance variations across businesses, but wasnt sure if it was a knock when looking at overall credit.

You don't really need a visa unless of course you plan on shopping at Costco after June, other than that your good.

I used to work there! Great place, especially if you are working during college.

 

Costco online you can pay with other major credit cards - you also have access to more options, which helps especially when warehouse's carry product specific to their location.

Don't apply for a Visa just to have a Visa. It's not necessary. 99.9% of the time, Visa and MC are interchangeable and accepted in tandem. The only outlier would be Costco in the future. Otherwise, you're fine.
