Diners Club PIN change

[ojefferyo]

Well as some of you may want to know, I called up DC and asked them how we would go about changing our PINs. They told me when you are ready to change the PIN to give them a call. They will then open up a 12hr window where you would go to a chip enabled ATM and perform a cash advance for the lowest possible amount, being $20. At the time the ATM asks for your PIN you enter in the PIN that you want NOT your current PIN. Hope that helps some fellow members here.

So is that an absolute requirement? The part about taking out a cash advance just for the PIN changes? Couldn't the same thing be accomplished by the checking your balance feature at a PIN enabled ATM?

Yes, in UK ATMs, change card PIN is a menu item.   No need for another transaction (or to call for that matter!)

That's what she told me, it's probably that sequence their computers look for within the 12hr window.

Oh other thing was when I called my bank (BofA) and asked if their ATMs were chip enabled the guy had no clue, I had to explain to him what I was asking even though they just replaced my debit card with a chip one.

Thanks for the tip, OP. I might be odd, but I enjoy the idiosyncracies that the Diners Club presents. It is like owning an older Jaguar, you have to get to know it before you can really appreciate all the quirks.

Most BoA ATMs are but not all. BTW their ATMs won't use the chip if you insert a chip BoA debit card.

In Switzerland too..you enter the card the current pin and select change pin from the menu ..change the pin and you are all set. But Germany does not allow to change pin and believe me this is a hassle on chip&pin  cards. You basically need your mobile before paying as nobody can remember the various pin at least not me 😛
