Your card also arrived via Royal Mail 1st class? The flykk company is based in Cyprus but have a Uk registered subsidiary as well. I assumed they would either ship it from Cyprus or somewhere like Germany where a lot of such cards are printed.
Do you have any intended uses for it? I honestly just ordered it because I never had a Diners Club/Discover
Never had a Discover / Diners Club Card in my collection. Next on my list is a AMEX card but I canāt seem to get any credit card in the UK so thatās another challenge.
Dinerās Club does come with some discounts on Airport Lounge Access and Insurance. So I could use them. I already get both of those from my Lloyds International Account but if that goes one day I will keep this card in my collection.
Just looking at this Flykk card, am I missing something here?
It looks like just a prepaid card with e-money that āexpiresā after 3 years, a monthly maintenance fee if the account is dormant for a while and chargeable for things like foreign exchange transactions on the card. Actually chargeable for everything but the very basics.
I see the Diners Club ābenefitsā mentioned (airport lounge access etc), but itās not really clear how they work and no indications of the charges.
Iām not sure about DC acceptance rates (I think itās fairly good) but Iām struggling to see what the benefits actually are of this card
That has actually been since 2008 when Discover bought Diners Club and merged the networks. Last year Discover was bought by Capital One so they own both networks now.
Yeah I donāt think bank ATMās accept them but I saw a lot of those independent ATMās having a sticker saying āthis ATM now supports Discover/DC. I know for a fact Sainsburys accepts them as well.
