I don't know about hotels, but many enterprises don't accept anything but MC and Visa. I presently carry a Delta/Amex card (12,500 free miles for signing up, and no fee for the first 12 months) but I make sure to carry a backup Visa card in my wallet. I use my AMEX (one of the first cards I ever got, member since 1981) when travelling and I carry a second AMEX which is a freebie that has my COSTCO membership card tacked on it. It only gets used at COSTCO. To get back on subject, I don't use my AOPA credit card except when shopping at Sporty's. I use my AOPA card only for airplane expenses. Get my rebate plus it keeps the airplane stuff orgainzed seperately. This was especially handy back when I had the plane on leaseback and I needed those expense numbers for tax purposes. Now I probably would be better off not knowing :-) The one time I went to an FBO for training, where credit cards were accepted, they didn't take MasteCard! (Chandler AZ.) Anyhow, I don't particularly like MasterCard. It seems rather low-rent to me. I have a Visa from my credit union and a MasterCard from my insurance company. Both have pretty good customer support. I chopped up my BankOne Visa after numerous customer support problems (they called me on the "I've got the scissors in my hand" statement, which oddly worked for to get the Discover customer service weenie to fix my account). I've got one of those Discover keychain thingies that I only have used once in a long time (I keep it because it's handy when I'm out running and only take my car key with me). The only other card I have is a Victoria's Secret card (which gets me all sorts of interesting junk mail like offers for free personal fittings...which Margy refuses to allow me to follow up on, and occasionally a $10 gift card (for my birthday) or some other VS freebie (Margy gets the benefit of these). |
