How to request a VISA issued card? American Express?

I've noticed that all I have are MasterCards. My capital one is a master, my Citibank debit card is a master. And then I have discover. But I need to diversify my cards. Because it leads to me not being able to make purchases.

You have to apply for Visa backed credit cards.  I have a mixture of both. 

Thank you for the wealth of knowledge I have learned from these forums. I am logging off as of November 9, 2022. I wish everyone great success.

Research potential cards you may be interested in and you will see available options.  For example:  the Quicksilver by Captial One is Visa but the Quicksilver One is Mastercard.  Most every website has an image of the card and you will see the logo in the corner of the card.

I wonder if cc companies know people choose their cards based on who it's backed by. Right now I'm about to search for a VISA credit card.

Can't remember for certain, but DW is a fan of those "dollar stores"...  dollar tree, family dollar, etc...  and one of them only accepts Visa...no Mastercard, no Discover, no Amex.

 

I can't remember which, and it may vary by location, but I remember this making DW nuts as well.  Smiley Happy
