This is a world-famous and popular payment system that regulates the relationship between the issuing bank, the seller and the cardholder when making transactions. The company itself does not install commission fees for service and is not engaged in the release of "plastic". The activity of the Visa system is reduced to providing access to the electronic payment network and the security of transactions.

Premium card holders are a special group of customers of any financial institution. For them, the bank creates the most comfortable and profitable terms use. What exactly benefits the owner of Visa Platinum? The card has the following privileges:
Of course, each bank has its own individual program for Visa Platinum. Sberbank, for example, serves premium card customers in comfortable office areas without queues, providing a personal manager.
Visa Platinum has much more privileges for withdrawing, crediting or transferring funds than a classic card. In most banks, there is no commission for cashing out from premium plastic. The one-time withdrawal limit on average is about 500 thousand rubles. For Card to Card transfers, fees are also minimal or non-existent. You can replenish your account using electronic wallets, cash service, terminals with "Cash in" function.
Another undoubted advantage of Visa Platinum is payWave contactless payment technology. Payment by credit card takes place in a matter of seconds and does not require the introduction of a PIN code. A certain limit is set within which contactless transactions are made.
Premium package banking services Visa Platinum opens up a lot of opportunities for the owner and makes life much easier during travel and business trips. Annual maintenance of the card varies depending on the conditions of different banks. The amount varies between 2-15 thousand rubles. It all depends on the type of "platinum" card, the issuing bank and the package of additional services provided. Co-branded "plastic" usually costs more than the standard Visa Platinum.

Only a successful person with above-average earnings who often travels abroad can appreciate the privileges of premium plastic. Otherwise, spending on card maintenance will bring more loss than benefit.
Bonus VISA program(VISA Bonus). Where and how to get discounts and bonuses?
The Visa payment system has been operating for several decades and during this time has managed to achieve high results in processing payment transactions of its cardholders. There are quite a lot of payment systems in the world, but not all of them were able to reach the same level as Visa. The priority task of the international payment system Visa is to provide its customers with quality service and the maximum speed of processing transactions. As an incentive, Visa uses a system of bonuses and discounts for purchases made on the card by users around the world. The Visa-Bonus program was launched in 2013 and is in demand among Visa cardholders. The list of MPS partners is constantly updated, and promotions are distributed to all countries. For companies cooperating with Visa, the bonus system helps to increase client flow and increase turnover. Cardholders prefer to shop where they are given discounts or credited with bonuses.
This is a system to encourage buyers for purchases with a card issued by the Visa payment system around the world. This service can be used by Visa cardholders of any category.
For non-cash transactions on their card, they receive discounts and bonuses in certain stores, pharmacies, salons, restaurants, hotels, cafes, jewelry chains, dry cleaners, etc. The amount of incentives depends on the agreement between the MPS and the partner. The list of partners changes periodically, so the current list can always be found on the official website of the payment system or directly in the customer service of the outlet. It should be noted right away that discounts and bonuses from Visa MPS are not cumulative with other promotions held in the TSP.
To get bonuses, you should first get yourself a Visa payment system card. Fortunately, the choice of cards by banks is quite large. You can choose the simplest card or a status business class card with all sorts of privileges. When paying with such a card, you need to clarify with your Visa partner what kind of discount you can get. It happens that store employees do not always understand what is at stake. You can check the terms of the offer hotline Visa 8-800-250-33-02 or on the bank's website, where an electronic brochure describing current offers is posted.
The conditions for receiving bonuses can also be found in the above collection. The most common options:
Car booking services are in particular demand. So, the Hertz company provides a discount on booking a car or gives one free day of travel as a bonus. To receive a discount, the Visa cardholder must name the promo code and the discount number.
The payment system similar in importance in the world is MasterCard. It, like Visa, works all over the world and provides cardholders with bonuses and privileges. The program provides for the receipt of points for purchases, and then their exchange for gifts and prizes from the MasterCard catalog. To use bonuses, you need to register on the MasterCard website. Members of the program can earn and exchange bonus points in their personal account. You cannot receive bonuses in monetary terms. Bonuses are valid for 3 years, and then "burn out" in chronological order.
Using a bank card, no one is immune from getting into a difficult situation, for example, when the card is lost or stolen. Moreover, if this happened in Russia, then solving the problem is quite simple, but if abroad, when the bulk of the money is located on the card, then you can not do without emergency services, such as urgent cash or card reissue. Such services are, of course, present in classic cards, however, in order to use them, you will have to pay a considerable commission, about 5-10 thousand rubles. But holders of gold cards have the right to use such emergency services for free. What kind of services are we talking about, we have already described in the article "Reissuing a card and emergency cash withdrawal".
Being far from your homeland, you may find yourself in another difficult situation when you may need legal or medical advice. And here they will help free services from the VISA payment system, whose employees will advise you by phone in your native language on any issues of interest. The main thing to remember is that only information is provided to you free of charge, that is, the addresses of hospitals, familiarization with the laws of the host country you are interested in, and so on, and any other services related to specific assistance, such as defense in court, will be paid separately and in full.
Gold card holders can use the minimum list of concierge service services, which includes assistance in booking tables in cafes or restaurants, as well as information on free seats, ordering air or railway tickets, and this is where your privileges in the concierge service end.
The VISA discount program allows gold card holders to receive bonuses and special offers from payment system partners, which are quite numerous and can be conditionally divided into the following categories: cafes and restaurants, travel, shopping and services, as well as health and recreation.
How the discount program works: when you pay with a VISA card at any partners of this program, you get a discount on a particular product or service. Moreover, the size of the discount can be from 5 to 10%, which is most common, and reach up to 50% with special offers from partners. Find out the full list of payment partners VISA systems both in Russia and abroad, you can visit the VISA website.
Summing up, it can be noted that the services offered by VISA with Gold cards are useful, first of all, for those who often travel abroad or move to other cities, whether it be business trips or travel. And if you are not from this cohort of citizens, we advise you to think about purchasing a gold card, of course, if the sole purpose of registration is to receive exclusive services from the payment system. However, the presence discount program it will be very useful for those who like to go shopping for clothes and goods a lot, because there are a lot of brand stores in the list of partners and there is plenty to choose from.

Visa Platinum users express rave reviews about insurance when traveling abroad. Self-issuance of a similar policy for a family costs about the same as the annual use of Platinum.
