brainchasm Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Just asking, because you all are the smarties, and arguably a Diner's Club card is the last interesting thing I could get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centex Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 It would appear the answer is no...the Personal card option still showed "Our Consumer card application is unavailable while we make improvements" and there was no option that I could find on their other US pages to apply, not even for the Carte Blanche card. I did notice that it appeared to have been punted...BMO Harris now has it. I think it was Citi the last time I had looked...

Burgerwars Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) The website has been that way for years. I'm starting to think they've forgot about it. I look at it as a MasterCard with the Diners Club name stamped on it, if it's ever issued, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

RehabbingANDBlabbing Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 When is the last time anyone has seen one? I still find it amusing that so many merchants have their logo on the signs, considering how small the base of cardholders is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For ICBC, you'll need to apply at a branch. They have some in California and a couple other states. There is CIBC in the U.S., headquartered in Chicago. It's a subsidiary of the Canadian Bank. They don't have a credit card, the last time I checked, but do offer a debit card with a checking account. hegemony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the website says you do, you can call a certain young lady in charge of new card accounts and she will accept your application. I have two of their cards and have never set foot in a branch.

Good to know. When I applied for ICBC Union Pay, the website allowed online applications, and I got the card. Afterward their website said apply at a branch. A month later I decided I wanted an ICBC checking and debit card. I didn't feel like driving down to the Torrance branch from my house in the San Fernando Valley. I had a trip coming up to San Francisco, so I waited. I walked down to their Chinatown branch from my hotel in Union Square and applied then. Already having my Union Pay account in their computer sped up my visit. That's the only time I've been in an ICBC USA branch.
