simple question.....

our data is about:

60% visa

herbal, it really depends totally on your target market... do you get many japanese signups as it stands now? if you are targeting a japanese client base then i would definitely recommend carrying JCB as a billing option, as the japanese people find that JCB is much easier card to use online in case of fraud and such. they are more hesitant to whip out their Citibank VISA to use online than a JCB card, which offers them better customer support when having to dispute a charge (a lot like AMEX in that regard, i'd much rather deal w/ AMEX here in the states over a dispute than VISA or MC)..

seems about right... I thought discover was much bigger for us until I crunched the numbers.
