This is in the ANZ Qantas Visa forum as you can only get this card if you had the ANZ Qantas Gold Visa card.
A lot of you may remember the 'wonderful' offer from Diners for a special frequent flyer card that gave you a lot of benefits like linking to your Visa card, points earnt on ATM withdrawals and that big enticement, FREE membership for the first year.
Well, my expiry date on my card is 11/06 and today I decided to give Diners Card International a call (1300 656 363) to let them know I will be cancelling my card.
FYI. I also have a work paid for Diners card and I don't pay my fees for that one.
They put me through to a nice lady who explained to me that Diners is expecting a flood of people cancelling their cards over the next few months and so they have quickly set up a DOUBLE POINTS for THREE MONTHS offer starting midnight of that day.
There is going to be a few shakeups over the next fwe months as they work out a better way of enticing people to stay but this is the current deal.
Basically, what will happen is that for the next 3 months I get the double points and I can quit at any time still and they will give me a call at the beginning on November to ask me if I wish to stay with them or not. I will most likely say no (due to my alternative Diners Card).
As an additional FYI, my October Diners Card statement will have the AU$150 annual fee in it but they will reverse it if I decide to not continue with the card beyond November. The lady stressed that I can still have the use of my card up until the end of November without having the pay for the AU$150.
Regards
Daniel
PS: I just did a check of my calender and just realised that my 3 months ends in October 9 so I guess I'll be placing that call a month earlier then expected.
