The Diner's Club Card soon became a cultural icon. Hollywood cash in on the "charge-it craze"
with the 1962 movie The Man from the Diner's Club. In it, an employee at Diner's Club issues a credit
card to a well-known gangster and has to get it back in oeder to keep his job. The Ideal Toy
Corporation joined in the trend when it created a board game called the Diner's Club game. The idea
of the credit card quickly expanded outside the
first international charge card in 1952 with franchises in Canada, France, and Cuba. In 1955, Western
Airlines became the first airline to accept the Diner's Club Card. Ten years later, the card was
accepted by every airline in the United states. Diner's Club expanded its services to hotels, car rentals,
and other businesses.
