1. Market share: Visa has a larger market share globally, which means more merchants are likely to accept Visa due to its widespread acceptance. 2. Network agreements: Some merchants may have exclusive agreements with payment networks, which means they may only accept Visa and not MasterCard or vice versa.

Use your Mastercard credit card for everyday purchases  at stores, online and even places that don't accept cash or checks, like hotels. Your Mastercard gives you the freedom to support the lifestyle you choose.
