No, they were taking apps until around November of 2014. Prior to that was the feeding frenzy of activity from a variety of forums/message boards, when the cards were open and accepting applications. Although denizens of boards make up a small fraction of the general credit public, I think what happened is that word got out, beyond forums/boards, and they were overwhelmed with the response. My guess is that they thought that perhaps Diners Club would be a bit more of a "boutique" type card, not necessarily appealing to the general public. They were wrong...and unprepared.

Maybe you misunderstood. They took apps from September 27 to November 2014. Yes. Correct. But i was talking previously. And I was wrong. Last was really in 2004' so 10 years before they came back. Not 5. Yes I apped in november ang got lucky. So the point I was making was. With 10 year hiatus Who knows when app will return. Unless you are in upper management at bmo. Certainly not the csr's

I asked for a CLI after I received my World card from them. I took a HP and it was denied. The next day I applied for the Elite card and was approved with a matching line of the World. They will process CLI's but it does require a HP. I called last month and spoke with underwriting and they like to see 6 months of history before requesting a CLI. I previously posted a direct number to underwriting a couple of months ago somewhere on the Boards.

Also, when I spoke with Underwriting, they said that this initial phase was a "test run" to work out the application process. I was afraid at that point having two cards so I asked if they were going to close existing accounts. They said not unless there were issues with customer accounts.

I tried to combine my two cards and this had to go to a senion underwriting supervisor who ultimately came back and said they couldn't do it and said I could close one account and apply for a CLI on the other. I said no thanks.
I think the point here is information. It's up to the reader to ascertain the value and/or lack thereof.
