I have an equal amount with the exception of two AMEX network cards and a Discover network card.  My debit card has always been a Visa. I don't think I've ever seen a debit Mastercard before.

I have not seen many at all, but Langley Federal Credit Union in my area has a MasterCard as their debit/checkcard.

I have 9 CCs

2 AMEX

1 Discover

6 Visa

0 MC

I think it's just you, OP.

Just to add to this list, SunTrust's debit cards are MC.

Yea they were Visa too up until recently and they sent me a new debit card and it was MC. I use Chase now and my debit card is a Visa again.

Flip the page.  You have a bunch of Visa cards and no MasterCards.  That doesn't strike you as odd?

The point of the post is not to isolate MasterCard, but to inquire as to why specific people have a bunch of one brand card and little-to-none of the other.

Following someone else's advice I went to Visa's site.  Every single card - ALL OF THEM - were for the 700+ credit limit crowd.  It wasn't always that way.

I see nothing to suggest on the Visa site that all cards they have listed are for the over 700 crowd.  In fact, I see cards for those with little to no credit history.

In any event, it is a myth that your credit score has a direct relationship with what cards you hold.  Whether you have Visa or MasterCard depends pretty much exclusively on what your bank offers and what you apply for.
