I have no problem with merchants that only accept Visa or MC or AMEX, or debit only for that matter, because they clearly display the network's decal on their door so I know before I enter the store instead of finding out after I finish a meal and ready to pay.

It creates massive confusion for consumers if merchants are allowed to accept some but not all Visa / MC Credit Cards.

As if it's not complex enough already? "Yes you can use this World MasterCard but not that World Elite MasterCard?"
In Canada, Tim Hortons used to be that way and only accepted MC until a 2 months ago, when they could accept Visa.
