Hi everyone.
I was just wondering, which credit card is the most widely accepted all across western europe, and Australia.
I am going to apply for one, but don't wanna get the one that nobody takes.

Both Visa and Mastercard are the most widely accepted.
American Express and JCB less so.
Discover and Diners Club, barely existent on a global scale.

Visa/Mastercard in Western Europe and the rest of the world as well. Get one that gives you some sort of reward if you don't plan on carrying a balance. Also watch out for annual fees and the like.
I have the Chase PerfectCard that gives me 1% back (on the next bill) for all purchases and 3% on gas. It adds up. I use that to help out the with foreign currency fee thats around 3%. so net is 2% on the fee. At home I use my Delta Skymiles Visa for EVERYTHING so I can get a free plane ticket to the EU.
