American Express is accepted in just about every store and restaurant.  Not all restaurants take MasterCard and Visa.  You can get traveler's checks at American Express offices and gift cards also. AmEx is the only major credit card I keep now.  I paid the rest of my credit cards off and closed the accounts.

actually you dont contact VISA because VISA is an association of member banks.  If you have an issue with your credit card you need to contact the bank that issued the card.  That customer support number by law must appear on the back of the card.

The answer to this is "both", because you both do, in some way, shape or form.  What happens is, the store owner, who must pay a % of credit card sales to MC or Visa, will pass those costs onto their patrons.  If you use the store's credit card, it obviously costs them less, since they don't owe part of the cost of the transaction to anyone but themselves.\n\nIf anyone thinks stores don't pass this cost along to their customers, they're crazy.

Although I do not personally use the Amazon Visa I have heard good things about it.  There is no fee to use the card other than interest charges.  There is no bad catches attached.  It does have perks though, as the last time I checked you get money off of your first purchase at Amazon.com so it might be worth your while to apply.

used to work at Wachovia, and we were told they could be used anywhere VISA was taken, in the US. They looked just like a visa check card.

It depends what you want.  To generalize, the four different cards associations have different market positioning that can be summarized as the following:\n\nMasterCard/Visa: Greatest worldwide acceptance\nAmerican Express:  Good for frequent travellers and affluent customers\nDiscover:  Good for customers wanting cashback rewards.\n\nHowever, what really matters is the loyalty program that you get attached to the card.  This depends on the bank that is issuing the card, not the cards association.  You can find a cashback card that is branded with the Visa logo, the MasterCard logo, the Discover logo, or the American Express logo.  The deal given by the bank is what you should use to determine what card you want.

I'd go with PayPal. A question may arise however... do you have a debit card with your checking account, that works as a Visa or MasterCard? It's been a while since I went through the verification process, but I think they want you to enter one to verify your street address is valid.\n\nThat said, once you're in, you can apply for the PayPal debit card, which functions just like a MasterCard.\n\nIf there is a chance that you will want to do anything money-related online, I would sign up for the Business account. This way if you ever want your own website, or perhaps become an eBay seller, then people don't have to have PayPal accounts to pay you, they can use any of the "Big Four" credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover)\n\nAn added bonus: If you sell at least 2 items per week on eBay, you will get cash-back bonuses on all your PayPal debit card purchases.\n\nBonus 2: Any funds in your PayPal account will earn Money Market interest rates.

The lesser the better. U get tempted to spend more when u have more number of cards. I would recommend two at the most - one of each type, like master card/ visa etc.
