This is an admirable desire, but I am not sure that the long-term implications of such a choice have been weighed. Unless you decide to revert to an entirely cash-based lifestyle, which includes sending checks by mail and having absolutely no ability to make online shopping or other digital transactions, I do not know how far you will be able to get without a debit/credit card. However, I am interested to hear your strategies and developments if you decide to commit to this.

There are other providers besides Mastercard and Visa. Discover, Capital One, and American Express, to name a few.

In my own haste, I had not fully considered the extent of other payment processors, so thank you for your reply. Looking over my response with fresh eyes, I am not much proud of it, but I have decided to leave it posted for the sake of discourse rather than delete it.

I am aware that some businesses (large and small) only accept Visa or MasterCard (source), and that some institutions (like my local credit union) seem to only issue Visa, which is why I expressed hesitation. However, if migrating to one or more of those alternate providers is a viable option for you, then that is great, and I encourage you in doing so.
