Flykk Diners Club Debit Card

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

Honestly

Never had a Discover / Diners Club Card in my collection. Next on my list is a AMEX card but I can’t seem to get any credit card in the UK so that’s another challenge.

Diner’s 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.

Plus the card looks awesome!

Just looking at this Flykk card, am I missing something here?

It looks like just a prepaid card with e-money that ā€˜expires’ 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 ā€˜benefits’ mentioned (airport lounge access etc), but it’s not really clear how they work and no indications of the charges.

I’m not sure about DC acceptance rates (I think it’s fairly good) but I’m struggling to see what the benefits actually are of this card

Diners club got purchased by discover years ago and recently discover got bought by Capital One.

So at the moment anywhere Discover is accepted then Diners Club is too

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.

Acceptance is good in all airport shops and most major high street shops too. ATM access not so good and I found mainly in corner shops.

Yeah I don’t think bank ATM’s accept them but I saw a lot of those independent ATM’s having a sticker saying ā€˜this ATM now supports Discover/DC. I know for a fact Sainsburys accepts them as well.

I’m just happy to have a Diners Club Card in my collection!

I tried signing up but only have a driver’s licence which they don’t accept; oh well. :sob:

Any suggestions on how to get past this?

Maybe try again later, if it persists then contact their support. Also has anyone used this card anywhere so far?
