What is the difference between MasterCard and Visa?
- 1 answer
In fact, as far as most consumers are concerned, there is no real difference between the two. They are both very widely accepted in over one hundred and fifty countries and it is very rare to find a location that will accept one but not the other.
However, neither Visa nor MasterCard actually issue any credit cards themselves. They are both simply methods of payment. They rely on banks in various countries to issue credit cards that utilise these payment methods. Therefore, the interest rates, rewards, annual fees, and all other charges are issued by your bank and when you pay your bill you are paying it to the bank or institution that issued your card and not Visa or MasterCard.
How Visa and MasterCard make their money is by charging the retailer for using their payment method. So the truth of the matter is that a Visa issued by say the Bank of Scotland will have very little to do with a Visa issued by other banks and may in fact by more similar to the Bank of Scotland's MasterCard.
What this means for the vast majority of customers is that you do not have to overly concern yourself with whether a credit card is MasterCard or Visa. You would be better off concentrating on the interest and other charges on the card, the balance transfer possibilities or their reward scheme. You are very unlikely to ever be effected by the fact that it is one and not the other.
If you prefer, if you are going to have two credit cards, you may decide that you want one of them to be Visa and the other MasterCard, this means that if something drastic were to happen to one company, or if you were in the unlikely position of finding a location that accepts one but not the other, then you would have the option of paying with either.
At the end of the day however, much more depends on the bank that gave you the card, than on the type of card it is.
More information:
They are two different companies. Other than that, they are essentially equivalent, charging interest on card balances and trying to get you to use their card rather than the other one. It's sort of like the difference between Coke and Pepsi.

Why does the mimimum payment on my Master Card account go up each month even though the balance goes down?
- 1 answer
You should check the terms of your card. These may be enclosed with your bill each month and this should explain in detail how the minimum payment is calculated. Alternatively, you can call the 1-800 number on the back of the card and have the customer service people explain it to you in detail. It is very important to be aware of the terms and conditions of the credit cards you hold; these are legal agreements just like a loan or a contract.
What is the song in the Master Card commercial with the school boys dancing?
- 1 answer
The song is called zgotta have the Funk by Parliment. They used this song on the Honda Odyssey commercial & my 3 year old always danced to it & now he just sings the song. I was so upset when I saw the commercial b/c my son could have so been in that commercial. Either way it's still a cute commercial. I just wish I knew about the casting call for it. Using the info above, I found the song on an album called "BEST OF PARLIAMENT : GIVE UP THE FUNK" which was originally released in 1995. The track for the commercial is called: "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)". The tune's too catchy too ignore and the commerical is our family's favorite!

What do the 16 digits on a visa card mean?
- 1 answer
Mostly, they are just an account number. Some of the digits, however, are "check digits." That is, they come from some mathematical formula being appled to some of the other digits. That makes it near impossible to simply make up a string of 16 digits that are a valid credit card number. Of course, the location of the check digits and the formula which generates them are carefully guarded secrets.

What amount will Mastercard or Visa credit card sue you over in Texas?
- 1 answer
There are no "set amounts" a creditor uses to determine if a lawsuit should be filed. The largest factor is whether or not a judgment is collectible. Does the debtor have a job where wages could be garnished? Bank accounts that can be levied? Is there real estate, cars, luxury items that are not exempt and could be liquidated to pay the debt.

- 1 answer
Check with the bank that issued the gold credit card and ask that they provide you with the policy details for any coverage that was associated with your husbands card.
