Differences between the legacy Professional cards and the new Consumer cards:
- Card type. Professional = charge card; Consumer = credit card
- 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 have a Diners Professional card since 2000. I MS'ed about 150K+ in the last 12 months on this card. Not even once they denied any of my charges or called me to verify activity. They also waived the $95 fee earlier this year.
I would MS'ed more on this card, if I could have figured out WM BP for this card. I tried so many times and I was not able to BP this card at WM.
Since they didn't report my balance to the credit agencies, I liked the cash flow I got with this card.

I think we've hit the holy grail with this card: easy to get, C+P, 0% FTF, interesting transfer partners (and awesome MS on the Elite for those that are into that sort of thing... 
Still waiting on my PIN mailer (app'ed 29th, in SF so probably Monday).
I'm excited.

Why? Diners annual fee is pegged to match American Express Green. At $95 it certainly offers better value than that card, and for my circumstances it is superior to Chase Sapphire. Club Rewards transfers to every partner which participates in Chase Ultimate Rewards, except for UA. Most at the same 1:1 transfer ratio, some inferior, and some better. It also has many additional partners.

However, lounge access regardless of tier and true chip and PIN (plus primary rental coverage if you don't already have a card that has it such as the CSP) might be worth the $95 in and of itself. We'll see.

The insurance looks the same, the perks look the same, and the bonus categories are fine; but why not the obvious categories for DC: travel and dining.
In any case, I see less reason to use or carry the CSP with this card around.

It makes little sense, therefore, for a T&E card, which some people use only for travel & dining, to have a bonus for travel & dining.
Promos are designed by card companies to increase spending, not to give you more points for what already use the card for!!!

Category bonuses are designed by the card companies to get you to spend in categories where their research shows fewer people use that card.
