Thanks for the replies.

It seems Mastercard and Visa are the most widely accepted, and after further investigation it seems my decision was limited to Mastercard or AMeX. Seeing that rewards, rates, etc are identical, I opted to go with Mastercard.

I only have and use one credit card, and when I use it, I want it to be accepted in as many places as possible. It seems that might be an issue with American Express, and thus Mastercard seemed ideal for me.
