My Visa is a tool that delivers unique privileges and exclusive offers – tailored to your interests – directly to your computer desktop. It’s easy to get started – just download the My Visa application to your desktop, set up your preferences, and get ready to receive up-to-the-minute offers.
After downloading the application, the My Visa icon appears in your system tray. You can click on the icon to bring up the My Visatoolbar on your desktop. The toolbar enables you to view privilege highlights and details, set up your preferences, receive news, and listen to music. You can also see an overview of all privileges that match your preferences (My Privileges) and access various types of supporting resources.
My Visa will send you an instant notification when a new privilege matching your preferences becomes available. You can view the privilege details, including redemption instructions, with a single click and easily print the offer with another click. In most cases, a telephone number or a website link is provided for quick and convenient offer redemption.
