Diners Club Credit Card

[Red1Blue]

Does any one have a Diners Club Credit card? Do you know who issues it and what is the criteria for approval ?

[Creditplz]

I think Diners club stoped issuing cards?. Some people say they ran out of plastic I think..

BMO Harris Bank issued Diners Club Cards in the United States. They have not issued any additional cards since late 2014 or early 2015. Checked and their website still says applications for "Consumer" Cards are closed.

My Discover card has the Diners Club logo on the back. IIRC they own the rights exclusively in the US now. Disco has no FTF's, which wouldn't be very valuable on the Discover Network but under the Diners Club network it can help out.

I actually phoned them last year and it is not closed for sure.  The CSR seemed to indicate they do anticipate at some point allowing applications again.  Apparently they grossly miscalculated the impact of the MyFICO rush when the mania was at peak tilt, lol.

Our Consumer card application is unavailable while we make improvements

While we work to improve the application process, the option to apply for our two Consumer cards: Diners Club Card Elite or a Diners Club Card Premier is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Right, but that "temporarily" period has become rather long!

Discover actually owns Diner's Club. They franchise or licence banks in countries to issue Diners Club. In the US and Canada the franchise holder is Harris Bank. I wish they would opening up the application process again.

That statement you cited has been on their website back to the day they shut down applications. You phoned last year and he we are another year later and nothing has changed. Seems to me they are at a minimum in no hurry to reopen applications.

Looks like they are offering other cards, professional and corporate cards.

Professional Cards are not available. They stopped taking application when it was owned by Citibank in 2008.
