The answer

It is not permissible to issue or use a (Samba Visa) card, because it is an act of usurers and a wrongful consumption of people's wealth. Furthermore, it does not fall outside the ruling of pre-Islamic usury (riba al-Jahiliyya). Therefore, contracting for it is impermissible due to the usury involved, in addition to the commitment to usury if payment is delayed.
