Diners Club and closing accounts

Anonymous — Wed, 17 Dec 2014 18:29:33 GMT

I just spoke to a CSR about a concern that one of my diners club cards will be closed as the rule now, apparently is we can only have one card. She ensured me that if I have already paid the annuals, I have nothing to worry about and it will remain open. With that said she was clear about the one cars rule when they reopen applications. So for those of you that have been issued both elite and premier, pad yourselves on the back, we get to keep both cards!

Depending on who to talk to one will say yes and another will say no. I've called many times and got different answers everytime.

I got sick of that crap. Seeing these issues takes the sting out of getting denied, lol.

HAHA the last time I spoke with the CSR they talked to the underwriters and they said my app along with the stuff I faxed over was sitting on their desk, no decision on the ELite has been made yet. I app'd on the 5th of Nov. At least I got my Premier though.

When and if they reopen applications I'm still going to apply for second card. I don't think any of them know what it is going to happen for sure.

I do not have high hopes for my Elite DC. I have been credited rewards for all of my Premier purchases but nothing for my Elite. There is not even a rewards link on my Elite account page. So far, that $300 AF I paid is not paying off for me. I probably should call them (And I will eventually) but I know there is a pretty good chance that I will get a hold of someone who knows absolutely nothing about nothing.

Better than someone who knows everything about nothing!

What's the advantage on carrying two DC and paying more AF. Having said that having that card is on my bucket list but I don't think they're BK friendly so I just move on.

That's bizarre. All my rewards for the Elite have posted. Weird company as they have more screw ups than anyone could have imagined.

Really no great advantage. I'll hopefully just be able to combine the two cards into one limit as that would seem to be more feasible than a CLI but who knows if they would even allow that.

I think someone asked them about that already and also about a BT and they said no. I'd like to get the Elite for the 3X

No reason for me to have this thing then. This seals it, Lol.

I thought I was the only one. I called about this 2 weeks ago and they are flabergasted. Keep calling me every other day to tell me they have escalated my problem to someone higher, and no one knows why I have no link for my rewards for elite, but do for premier

I can see the rewards for my Elite. I think it will still be a while before they open applications again. I also wouldn't get too concerned over what anyone tells you on the phone because it appears they don't have it all sorted out yet and things will likely change as they figure out what they want to do.

That's if they decide to reopen the floodgates after Jan 1st.

My rewards are accessible for both Premier and Elite - no issues so far (thankfully) when taking the DC "twins" out to play. And I would agree that there's still plenty of lingering and outstanding issues that haven't been resolved yet.
