Question
I am travelling to australia from Canada.  I was wondering if it would be better  to get a Mastercard or a Visa.  Which one is more widely accepted?

Answer
G'Day Summer,
            Both cards are accepted throughout Australia, you wont have problems with either.

I think Visa has a travel insurance connected to the card for free, but you will have to check that in Canada.

Both are good, go with the one that has the best rewards points and lowest interest rate.

If you require any more info about Australia, email me direct at franksue@bigpond.net.au

I have lived in Brisbane all my life (53 years). I am very proud of our city and the Sunshine State of Queensland. I am happy to help in any way possible. Queensland is a very humid and hot place in Summer, which makes it great for outdoor fun.

Experience

I have a great love and knowledge of Brisbane and the surrounding areas. I holiday on the Sunshine Coast every year, and visit the Gold Coast numerous times during the year for work. We love to dine out, and can recommend many places to try in Brisbane and the Coasts.
