Another quiet day here on RC as I focused on some consulting work and some upcoming
Rewards Canada projects.
News, Tips & Tricks
The only news I have for you comes from one of my favourite credit cards, Diners
Club. I got a letter yesterday from them outlining the travel services/benefits
provided by the card. Most of them I knew about but I had never heard about
the new concierge service they now offer call Diners Club Personal Assistant.
Now there are numerous articles out there and I believe even in some of my reviews
that I don’t find concierge service to be a huge benefit offered by credit card
companies (typically found on Visa Infinite and World MasterCard cards along
with some Amex cards) and I usually don’t make use of it on my other cards and
I most likely won’t use it with my Diners. I will check it out however and I
believe there are some people who are so time crunched that these concierge
services come in handy and I’m sure that those of us Diners Club cardholders
(you can’t apply for the card at this time) who need a concierge service will
greatly appreciate this one especially considering that this card costs less
per year then most other premium cards with similar benefits. If you are a Diners
cardholder you can check out the Personal Assistant at www.dinersclubassistant.ca
