Re: Diners Club Credit Card

The chances of the card (I use mine alot) coming back is very very small

Re: Diners Club Credit Card

I actually have an AAdvantage Diners Club - of course, not issued by a US financial institution, but rather a South American one. Diners Club is the main card used in South American countries and they market them heavily. (Oh, and like AMEX here in the US, they're NPSL charge cards)

 

If you have any questions about the card, feel free to ask!

Hey @Anonymous, I have a quick question... do you have any problems using your AAdvantage Diner's Club in the U.S.? 

 

I know that in theory it should be accepted anywhere Discover is, but since there are more than a few tales of Discover not working correctly overseas (when technically it should) I am just wondering if you have similar issues, but in the reverse.

 

Thanks!  Smiley Happy

Re: Diners Club Credit Card

In truth the real DIner's Club that was a charge card with it's own network and all sorts of gloating over it's being exclusive is long gone. Common ... issued as a MasterCard? Hardly carrying on the mystique of a classic gone by. Got my first exclusive Diner's Club Card back in 1973 and then people swooned over it. Yeah right ... a charge card to say the least ... anyway had a Carte Blanche and American Express Gold with a bank line of credit attached (was I recognized as being exclusive then?).

@Anonymous depends, @UncleB. I've actually had far less success than AMEX. I haven't had my AMEX declined yet, but my Diners Club gets declined more often than not. 

The funny thing is, on receipts, it can either show up as Discover or Diners Club, depending on the cc processor the merchant uses. Also, not everywhere that takes Discover takes Diners Club, as the number structure is different (more similar to AMEX than Discover) so it'll just say "Invalid card type", even if they take Discover. 

 

I tried using my Discover in Ecuador last year, and it worked great, since it processed as a Diners Club transaction Smiley Happy

Likewise

 

Seems the consumer version was a one time only and done for them or else it would already have been offered again by now.

 

Every now and again it's noticed that certain lenders do this.

Re: Diners Club Credit Card

This is interesting...I don't have Diners but recetnly got a Discover card, when attempting purchase a ticket through Norwegian Airlines, I was unable to get the purchase to go through online, even though it said they accept Diners.  But if I called in then they could process the payment (but would miss out on some of the perks of purchasing online, ie uber cheap flight insurance).  So after that experience, I am very skeptical about taking my Disco to Europe this summer.  Ultimately ended booking a ticket on British Airways which had no problems accepting the disco online.

This may or may not be of any help in what was experienced but...........
