That depends on the merchant.

If a card has a card-association logo on it, then it can be processed through interchange. And in most cases I would guess there is no difference in the processing of that transaction.

But, for example, here in LA we have this mega-shopping retail store called Costco that doesn't take MasterCard or Visa, only American Express. But, they do accept my Visa debit card. Go figure.
