Diners Club Card

Louis Lane 6

I'm thinking of getting one, I currently have an AMEX. Does anyone have one? Can they be used in many places? Any tips/advice?

Don't bother, waste of space in your wallet/Purse.

Have they stopped issuing AMEX Blue?

Got letter from Bank of Ireland today.

They are withdrawing Blue American Express.:(

They said due to the poor uptake was the main reason. I will miss that card as I used it for business items and am due to get over 500euro cashback.

I'm not sure but I think they have also stopped issuing the Diners Card here.

I had a look on their website and cannot see a link for anyone living in Ireland who wants to apply

Irish application form available there.

Not many outlets will accept Diners Club because of its relatively high merchant charges compared to others.

Not sure what benefits it gives but there wil be other better cards to carry.

Thanks Buffy. I don't know how I missed that.

Your right Hussard. I've looked further into it and I think I'll pass. Its away from debt I should be getting instead of taking more on!
