So what's the difference and if my Discover is accepted at a Diner's Club, merchant it seems silly to apply for a separate card.
Your thoughts?
There are two types of Diners Club,
* Diners Club NA (North America)
Essentially MasterCard bearing the name Diners Club. Can only be used at places that accept MasterCard. Does not run on Diners Club network at all.
* Diners Club International
This is what Discover bought. Has its own network. Foreign countries based Diners Club are considered Diners Club International.
So confusing to say the least. Diners should just be 100% buy out by Amex.
No wonder you rarely see DC stickers on merchant's windows.
I'll stick with my usual MC, VISA, AMEX cards.

The real draw is the Elite card with unlimited 3% on grocery stores and supermarkets.
That and AA & AS transferability.
This thing is going to be the next MS craze.
It's 3% on grocery stores, supermarkets, drug stores, and gas.
and it's a WEMC #Shiny

You have to spend a lot in 3x categories to justify a $205 differences in AF.
diners club premier sounds good wit airport lounge access, rental car discounts and all but eh.... 95 annual fee is bit stiff for me.

Actually I still see the DC stickers fairly often, which is suprising. That being said these new North America cards are on the mastercard network (not on the diner's club network) so will be useable everywhere you can use a mastercard which is pretty much everywhere. .

Yea, you need to actually check and see which lounges they have access to. There is a whole list for lounges around the world some of which seem kinda random. For $95 though there can be real value there if it meets your needs.

All it means is that they can accept foreign / true Diners Club card.

would've been definitely useful and even could justify annual fee if I had this card last 5 years, since I traveled more than once a year, but.... that time's past

Yes, because its referring to the diner's club payment network.
