Good visa site

Found a good site that can let you know if you need a visa or not
visahq.com

Got my answer if I need on to Cook Islands or not quickly.

Do they mention if MasterCard is accepted in lieu of the Visa?

I don't know about that, but I think American Express might get you express service

And that, people, is exactly how you fail at website design. I'm a US citizen and I wanted to check for the visa requirements for Australia.

I'm in Norway right now, so the site sets up the default as Norwegian resident who is a Norwegian citizen. If I change both of the drop boxes to United States, it freaks out and sets it to Norway/Norway again.

Complete design failure.

I found this site recently, shows which countries and regions are 'visa-friendly' for Americans:
http://www.markbyron.net/. Shows duration and costs for those that issue visa on arrival.

I was surprised to see that Bolivia now requires visas for US citizens.
