All different companies and all transactions are "handled" by different banks. They're all crooks. to be honest. I wish I could loan people money at 17.9%!!

The names/companies. Visa and MasterCard are more widely accepted than Discover though, as far as I know. Take your pick! They'll all rob you blind.

They are owned and operated by different companies.

They are the companies who own the cards and manage the payments. Visa and Mastercard have been around longer and are accepted a little more widely. Otherwise they are all about the same.

Visa and Mastercard are just different companies that generally have the same rules. I would just find a card that fits your needs and go with it (like one that gives you rewards for grocery shopping, or skymiles...whatever you want). Discover gives you cash back on purchases but is not accepted at a lot of places, and is not accepted outside of the US.

They are different companies. They are always trying to get more companies to accept their credit so they can say "Accepted in more places"
