Ms mia resumed using her Diners Premier card this week, after completing the bonus spend on an Amex SPG business card. No pending charges have been displayed.

She also had one or two (she isn't sure) charges "declined". Nothing displayed on website. She called customer service who reportedly told her that a swipe transaction at Starbucks was declined because "they tried to process it as Paypass". She did not know what that meant, and did not request clarification. I don't know if this means that the card's contactless chip is incompatible with Starbuck's readers, or if the system was simultaneously trying to process a contactless and swipe payment.
