Pretty sure the companies get essentially kick backs for choosing whichever credit card company. Diners club must have better perks for the employer

Understood! Just realize that the rebate to the company is basically the same as the cash back / points to you

Is Diners Club a separate network from VISA MC that merchants have to sign up with? If so that seems a bit excessive.

I actually don’t know of any branded discover card, just the ones issued by Discover itself. Seems like it’s not even worth the hassle for merchants to pay the upkeep with such a small footprint... and there’s no way someone with a discover card doesn’t also have a VISA/MC right? Sheesh...

Is there a such thing as a platinum diners club card? Lol
