Update on Diners Club Advantage
In our past few newsletters, we have referred quite a lot to Diners Club Advantage - our new online system which allows you to view all your account and transaction details via the Internet - reflecting yesterday’s transactions today.

We are very pleased to report that feedback from some of our clients has reinforced that Diners Club Advantage really is a seamless and live answer to viewing and reconciling your company’s accounts, making day-to-day administration that much easier.

“The Diners Club Advantage system is incredibly user-friendly and has had a huge impact on the management of our travel expenses. The support received from Diners Club has been exceptional and it is a pleasure to use the system knowing such strong support is at hand when required. With all the data we need available at our fingertips, administration has been made a breeze,” says Belinda West, Manager: Travel Services at Woolworths.

“It is very useful, stunning actually,” says Tracy Louw from Rennies in Bellville, who believes the system to be a huge time saver. Shereen Appama from Anglo Gold reports that this system is a one-stop-shop service that does not require her to have to do follow up calls. Astrid De Villiers from Anglo American agrees that this system is working very well.

Fraud Alert
It has come to our attention that fraudsters are sending emails and faxes to our corporate clients stating that Diners Club has over paid the various companies and that they must refund Diners Club with a said amount. The fraudster then gives a fraudulent bank account in which the payment must be made. These faxes are sent on a false Diners Club letterhead and are signed by “Frank Bishop” as the Finance Manager of Diners Club.

Please be aware of such fraudulent activity and confirm directly with Diners Club regarding any uncertainty - 0860- DINERS (346377).
