Prior to that I'd noticed quite a lot wanting to either take an imprint of the card when I was using it, or even write down my Drivers Licence number...(!)

Mind you, my card does expire in April, so maybe the new one which I get any day will come with a chip... Does anyone else have a BA Diners card in the UK, and does yours have chip & pin?

Now if only Diners Club could be used in the UK wherever you see a Mastercard logo (as you can in the US / Canada). That would be so useful...
that has changed since Discover aquired DC, in the US it should now be accepted wherever Discover is accepted.
But it doesn't always work for reason no one seems to be able to explain...

fyi

and it looks like Discover plans to expand outside the US, eg the UK
