Blackcatcard and Bleap Mastercard both work at any Visa or Mastercard terminal, but what they charge and who they accept differ.

Rewards favour Bleap Mastercard at Up to 20%, which is worth taking at face value only if you can meet the tier it is attached to.

Both are usable across Global, so availability will not be the deciding factor there.
