Fee-free Visa Infinite?
Hi all,

Are there any no annual fee US Visa Infinite cards? I have a no annual fre World Elite MasterCard (littleblackcard.com) and want to upgrade my Visa Signature to an Infiniate though am not willing to pay an annual fee as I already do for my AmEx.

Thanks for your your insight and advice!

What benefits do you expect you would receive from a free VISA Infinite card that you do not receive from your current VISA Signature or Saks MasterCard?

Nope, they're aren't even any free Visa Infinite cards in Canada and practically every other Visa rewards card is one here.

If you want to play in the big leagues, you need to 'pay to play'.

I'm more interested in having the highest level Visa. I have one AmEx, MC and Visa all of which were the highest level until Visa introduced the Infinite; AmEx is the only one with an annual fee.

Thanks for your input.

Understood, but why? Inasmuch as there is no free version we may be able to point you to another way to receive the same benefit(s) that you expect you would receive from an Infinite card.

CNB Crystal Visa Infinite is the one with negative fee, if you use it correctly.

i know op asked for USA

But it's just to show that the logo is only a logo. What benefits does op want with such a card? Just bling?

Don't discount the power of perceived luxury. It's why metal cards are fairly popular, for instance.

That said, Visa Infinite cards generally have things that add value over e.g. Visa Signature (although issuers don't have to implement them; see Chase Sapphire Reserve and the the airfare discount not being available as an example).
