Diners Club Caught Promoting Human Trafficking - until caught
...Diners Club International has officially agreed to end their relationship with Vietnam Brides International, including the "payment plan" that Diners Club Singapore offered so that men could charge women to their credit cards. This is a true victory for the Change.org community and for all of us who work to prevent the exploitation and sale of women.

Thank you and congratulations to the over 800 of you who signed the online petition and sent messages to Diners Club asking them to end their support for an industry which is rampant with human trafficking and exploitation of women. Here is the official response we received from Mai Lee Ua, representative of Discover Financial Services, which owns Diners Club:

“On behalf of Diners Club International, which is part of Discover Financial Services, we appreciate bringing this specific merchant relationship with a Diners franchisee to our attention. Formal steps have been taken to terminate the relationship .”
