Take advantage of premium Diners Club rewards with the convenience of a Mastercard.

The Diners Club Personal Card and World Mastercard is a charge card and so has no pre-set spending limit. The World Mastercard card makes accessing your cash easy, with 37 million locations and 2 million ATMs in over 210 countries. The Diners Club Personal Card and World Mastercard only has one PIN and statement, making the cards relatively easy to manage. In addition to financial flexibility, you also have access to World Mastercard privileges and rewards.

Expert review

This Diners Club account comes with both a Diners Club card and a World Mastercard, which means you can make payments even if Diners Club is not accepted. It offers 2 Diners Club rewards points per $1 spent with the Diners Club card and 0.75 points per $1 spent with the Mastercard. Unusually, you can even earn points for cash advance transactions – although the fees that come from withdrawing cash could offset the benefit of these points.

How to apply

If you have decided that this card could be of use to you, you will need to ensure that you meet the following application criteria:

Eligibility criteria

  • Residency. You must be a citizen or permanent resident of Australia.
  • Age. You must be at least 18 years old.

Card benefits

  • No pre-set spending limit. Cardholder's spending is not restricted by fixed spending limits, providing users with the freedom to manage their finances according to what they can afford and how they need to use their card.
  • Global use. There is no shortage of locations to use your Diners Club Personal and World Mastercard. The Diners Club Personal Card network includes over 800,000 ATMs and cash access locations and the World Mastercard provides you with access to further 2 million ATMs.

Rates & fees

  • Annual fees. Although the Diners Club Personal Card and World Mastercard combine the benefits and features of two cards, it only incurs a single annual fee of $299. However, there is a fee of $50 for additional cards. Unlike the regular Diners Club Card, the Personal Card and World Mastercard incur no extra rewards fee, as it is covered by the annual card fee.
  • 44 days for payment. The Diners Club Personal Card and World Mastercard offers cardholders up to 44 days to pay for purchases. To avoid default fees, you need to pay the account within 14 days after the account issue date.

      Hi Anne,

      Thanks for your question.

      Yes, you can, but that is subject to the frequent flyer program terms and conditions. The ratio would be 2.5 Diners Rewards points = 1 Skywards Mile.

      To transfer, log in online or call Diners Club and follow these steps:

      1. Select the participating travel loyalty program you want to transfer points to.
      2. Select the number of points to transfer.
      3. Confirm and accept the terms and conditions.

      Hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      May

      Hi Jc,

      Thank you for your inquiry.

      Yes, you can use your Diners Club MasterCard for paying via BPAY. Get your customer reference number or Diners Club Card number handy with you as you will be using this upon payment. Also, please note that the Diners Club Biller Code is 3012 and a transaction fee of $0.75 may apply to each payments.

      You can also refer to our comparison of other Diner Club cards. You may select More Info to learn more about the card features, eligibility, rewards and fees. Once you have chosen your preferred account you can proceed with your application by heading to their website. Please ensure to read through the relevant product disclosure statement and terms and conditions to ensure that you got everything covered before you apply.

      I hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      Debbie
