Diners Gold Wing Free For Life

[jingles]

HI guys,

Back when Ansett was flying i signed up for a life Gold Wing membership and had the Diners Club Card to earn Ansett points. After Ansetts collapse i remember that Diners offered all life members the opportunity to keep their diners card and have a Qantas membership added free for life.

The problem i now have is that for some reason Diners have started to charge me the annual fee and the people i have spoken to have no recollection of the offer nor can they provide me with any information.

I am hoping that someone here remembers what i am talking about and has some information about this so that i can show to Diners that i am entitled to receive the card free for life.

It would be great if i could find the letters they sent me however i think they are long gone...

If anyone has any info or even a copy of the letters they sent out i would be extremely thankful.

Thanks again

Indeed I do. I still have the card and (so far) have not been charged any fee other than their frequent flyer scheme fee. I have luckily found their letter (I can post it if you like) but the critical point is a footnote:

".... Diners Club reserves the right to suspend the waiver or amend (including to introduce or charge a fee) at any time"

Any sign of a fee and I'll drop them, or will as soon as I've rounded out points to overcome their ridiculaous rule that allows points transfer only in 5000 blocks.

It was mrsdrron who was life member of Golden wings.I had the DC.However they made mine fee free and 1.5 points per dollar spend.In August I got the letter saying from December they were reducing that to 1 point per dollar.I rang and told them I can now get a fee free Amex with 1.5 points per dollar so from December i would be changing over.immediately got 3 points per dollar for 2 months and now have reinstated the 1.5 points for 2008.I guess all the noise was effective.

I had the diners card and GW life membership at the time but never got the offer of free QC membership . Mind you, I was already a life member of QC, so maybe they somehow knew that. In any event, my wife had partner life in GW and an associate Diners card. What do you reckon the chances are of conning one out of them now for her after all this time? I never got her a QC membership.

Regrettably, the document seems to have grown its own wings and escaped.

Perhaps the OP still has a copy.

Ah, those gold wings must have still had some life left in them.
No digital copy in an email attachment?

Lets hope the OP checks this thread

Every time the "Golden Wing" is mentioned, a feeling of anger develops:evil:

Well with a last visit time of ~24 hours ago, I think they may... Otherwise, a Private Message should work!

BTW, welcome!

Sorry mate i dont have a copy of it, lost everything a while ago when a hdd failed.

Unless codash has a copy in his 'sent items' as you suggested then you might be out of luck.

Regrettably not. When I lose something, I do a proper job of it

Re: Diners Gold Wing Free For Life No Annual Fee

Hi Folks

I am having an argument with Diners Club over an annual fee they have started to charge me although I was a Life Member of Ansett Golden Wing
which promised no fees payable.

Has any-one found themselves in this situation and has any-one got a copy of the original letter they sent out to all Golden Wing Life Members?

A copy would be greatly appreciated to:

[email protected]

Cheers

John Cooper
