- Foreign transaction fees. Professional 3%; Consumer 0.
- CDW vehicle value cap. Professional = $75,000 (Diners) or $100,000 (Carte Blanche); Consumer = $50,000
- Other insurance. On cursory examination there appears to be differences in the carriers and terms of the other coverages. The Consumer coverages may be a standard package arranged by MasterCard, while the Professional coverages may be inherited from Citi. Someone would need to read carefully side-by-side to find the differences.

Added a section to the Wikipost to track differences between the new Consumer cards and the legacy Professional cards.
Also added a link to the Promotions page, which lists various travel related, and other, benefits.

I expect we will find more:
- Card type. Professional = charge cards; Consumer = credit cards (apparently, based on the fee disclosures)
- Foreign transaction fees. Professional 3%; Consumer 0.
- CDW vehicle value cap. Professional = $75,000 (Diners) or $100,000 (Carte Blanche); Consumer = $50,000
- Other insurance. On cursory examination there appears to be differences in the carriers and terms of the other coverages. The Consumer coverages may be a standard package arranged by MasterCard, while the Professional coverages may be inherited from Citi. Someone would need to read carefully side-by-side to find the differences.
I suspect they will take away the Foreign Transaction Fee (we hope.)

Ms mia and I each have separate Diners Club Professional card accounts. I think that one of us will apply for a Premier credit card, and close the Professional charge card, while the other will wait to see if the Professional card is enhanced in a meaningful way.

My bank is BMO Harris. Went in today to ask the banker if they had any in-branch bonuses/offers.
She had not heard of it , but will inquire and if there is any news, I will report.

I also spoke to customer service. The rep told me that there were no plans to remove the foreign transaction fees from the charge cards, but I really would not expect her to know if there were. She also told me that each card account would have a separate Club Rewards account, and there is not a mechanism for transferring points between rewards accounts. This means the existing points balance needs to be redeemed before closing the Professional card account.

I'm in the same boat. I may have to re-evaluate my current wallet around the first of the year to see if one of these will fit in.

i like the way you think, however, assuming one MS 30K annually on this card and eat the AF at the end of the year @ .3K, the yield on MS after AF is .6K (not considering liquidation & other MS related fees) which would make the spend equivalent to a %2 card with no AF, nevertheless given that its unlimited 3X, i like the card and benefits i currently see

DC Club Reward point worth at least 2 cents per imo with 1:1 ratio to Alaska and some attractive hotel transfer ratios. Through Alaska it can redeem Emirates in the middle east to cathay pacific in asia. Let's compare to the old Blue AMEX card MS 50k annually. With it you get $2240. With DC Elite at 2 per valuation you get $3000. More than making up for $200 difference in AF. On top of that you also have lounge access. It doesn't have airline credit or sign up bonus. Imo not having sign up bonus means fewer people would apply for it and thats good for MS people. If you do international travel, great card imo. if not you can still transfer to Avios for some cheap domestic travel.
