Diners has been around since the 1950s. Frank McNamara decided to create it after he went out for dinner and realized he had forgotten his wallet. The restaurant owner allowed him to leave his business card as an IOU and inspired him to develop the credit card idea. Diners Club International is probably the oldest credit card ever used.
