Hey kids… I’ve got good credit. Very good. So good that I get daily invitations for Mastercards. Sometimes I get pre-approvals. It’s non-stop. My bills are usually paid in full monthly.
I carry mostly MC’s, but I do have one Visa.
Anyone care to venture a guess about why I NEVER get Visa solicitations? EVER?

Coincidence.
If you are recieving solicitations, you have a fair chance of getting both.
I work in the credit reporting industry, and there is no reason you wouldn’t receive VISA™ solicitations in the mail. Nothing other than coincidence.
I’ll bet you’ll get a few soon. Watch your mail.
Quasi-related question: is there any real difference between the two? I’ve never witness an establishment that accepts one or the other, but not both. Discover, sure, but not the Visa-M/C duo.
In fact, I’ve received pre-approved applications (promptly shredded and tossed) that offer “Your choice of the SuckerCard Visa or Mastercard!”
I once heard that they are the same company. Maybe that’s why both are excepted everywhere.
