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.

Does anyone know if a BMO Harris ATM would work for changing the PIN on this card? The Mastercard ATM locator says it supports chip cards, and the BMO Harris website says it allows PIN Changes, so I should think it would work, but was wondering if anyone knows for sure? There's one not far from me.

I think you have to tell them you want to change it, then go to a chip-enabled ATM. I was at Citibank tonight (without calling DC first) and tried the DC card. No PIN change option there either. DC must be doing something to enable the option when you call them since they themselves said that Citi should work.

You can't just tell them over the phone, because it's an "offline" PIN (the only kind that works at many unattended kiosks in France, btw). So some way of making physical contact with the chip (and thus a chip-enabled ATM) is needed to update the PIN after you call.

These are the traditional categories that card issuers use to encourage customers to keep the card in their wallets all the times because, for the most part, purchases are made in person. I wouldn't make any assumptions, one way or the other, about Harris Bank's knowledge of Manufactured Spending.

I don't have a business card so I am not 100% about the details of the Ink/Office Depot etc. method but I believe the $200 card costs $5.95 and you get 1,000 points for that $6. With Diner's club, buying a $500 gift card at Kroger's gets you 1,500 points for the same $6.
Also, Alaska allows you to add a free stopover to any American Airlines international trip; so you can do things like CDG-DFW (stopover for a few months)- HNL for 20,000 miles in low season. Alaskan policy is actually better than American's old policy when it used to allow stopovers: you don't need to stop over at an International Gateway city!
Oh and last but not least you can transfer points to Choice Hotels and Best Western at a pretty decent rate. This allows you to book a hotel at the center of virtually any big city in the world (and many many small towns in the US) for a maximum of $54 with Best Western and $66 with Choice Hotels even in peak season doing the $6 per $500 gift card route at Kroger. I am perfectly fine staying at these kinds of hotels.
So, yes, I believe you are missing quite a bit

but on the hyatt front, while the grocery transaction will net 1500 points they dont transfer to hyatt at a 1:1 rate right? isnt the rate 3:1 based the wiki?
i get the alaska airlines play that makes sense just not really for hyatt i think.

No, it's 1 Diners Rewards Points to 0.6 Hyatt Gold Points so 1500 DRP would get you 900 HGP, which is 1.8 HGP per dollar.

I agree about Alaska and SPG, for personal reasons I will throw out IHG and say that Air Canada might have a decent Round the world option for 300k in business and 400k in first.
Since the wife and I love to cruise, this card will come in handy with the Tailored travel credit to get free cruises without having to pay an extra annual fee for the Arrival.

Your attempt will drop off from pending transactions in 2 business days.

You call them, tell them that you want to change your pin, they open that option up for 12 hours only, then you go to a Citibank ATM, enter the PIN you want, get a $20 cash advance, the pin you entered is yours now and then when you get the bill they refund the $3 Citibank ATM fee plus the $4 cash advance fee and any interest incurred as a result. That is how the PIN change process works for this card.

Tried to add new Premier card to existing Professional card profile Account Management > Add/Manage Accounts, but process failed at final step.
