Visa/Master/and Credit card are the same thing. Just different brands. You're debit card is just that. Linked to you bank account, and takes the money out of there. You can have them run it as credit but it still comes out of your account. You just don't have to enter your pin number and just sign. ATM card is the same thing, except you can only use it at the mac machine.

The only difference I have noted was that some online businesses only accept Visa.

Not much difference. Why not try American Express?.
