Visa cards have been in India for decades, which is why Visa has a strong dominance in the Indian market.
Visa got the first-mover advantage.
Mastercard, on the other hand, has never taken the Indian market seriously. It charges higher MDR, and even in the case of debit cards, the transaction failure rate for Mastercard is higher compared to Visa.
Therefore, staying away from Mastercard is better, as it doesn’t even provide many offers.
Now, talking about RuPay, it is still a new player. It hasn’t even been a decade since RuPay launched its credit card business.
But RuPay has got the second-mover advantage.
Always remember, Visa cards are offering so many offers today because RuPay’s market share is increasing.
The more RuPay cards grow, the more Visa’s market share will decline, and Visa will offer even more offers. That’s why everyone should get as many RuPay cards as possible and encourage others to do the same.
Even in bank e-commerce discount offers, if you have two cards—Visa and RuPay, like with banks such as ICICI—always first prefer using the RuPay card. This is because the lower Visa’s transaction volume and value become, the more Visa will introduce network-based offers in the future.
Don’t forget, Visa is a US-based company with a lot of money to lure customers. It will never abandon a market like India.
Please suggest Rupay CC (apart from tata neu), which offer reward irrespective of category. Like wallet load ( in case some trick are found)
Rupay> 10
