Just started at a new company and our corporate cards are “Diners Club International Corporate”. I know nothing about these cards, do they have lounge access, any specific perks or anything like that? My previous gig reimbursed me for travel spend on my own cards so I was able to keep the points. Wondering if I gain any benefit by having to use the corporate card or if I’m just losing travel points.

Diners club is still a thing?

Did you join KPMG?

Short answer is you loose travel points. You can sign up for their rewards program, it’s about $70/year and earns you 1% back. Depending on your spend, you can easily tell if it’s worth it or not.

Diners sucks though.

There’s a lounge network you have access to but it’s not great. You can transfer points earned to some other programs, not a lot of partner hotel programs but most airlines are on there.

They use the Discover network. They were a big name in the early credit card game and was a competitor with Amex. I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen people use the card though

Diners invented the credit card. They haven't innovated since then tho.
