Planes, Trains, and Automobiles...???

[Aurora63]

This is one of my all time favorite movies, but it has me a little confused...if you can help me, please do!

Anyway, when they are in Wicita checking in to the Braidwood Inn, I remember that they both pulled out identical Diners Club cards for the room, then were erroneously switched, which resulted in JC's character renting the car with SM's credit card, which was later roasted.

However, when they are waiting outside the Braidwood Inn for their ride to the train station, they are talking about how they will travel since all of their cash has been stolen. JC suggests they charge their way, but then says all he has is a big and tall mens store card.

So, where did the second Diners club card come from when they first checked in? Was JC's character just a con man, and it was a fake card? Or is this just a plot hole?

What do you think?

I'm pretty sure that Del doesn't have a Diners Club card. I think he passes the remark to the hotel clerk "You still take those discount cards, don't you?" So I always assumed that his card is just a look-a-like hotel discount card. But I'll have to watch the movie again to see (can't tell I've seen this a few thousand times, can you???...one of my all time favorites!)
