Thanks for posting, I had given up on this when it didn't happen in the summer.

Where did you get this information?? Following the link to ba.com/dinersclub takes me to a page that is about the offer in 2008.
Update: I found the source. It's at the Club Rewards website:
https://www.citibank.com/dinersus/jsp/clubrewards/catalog/english/travelbonus.jsp?pg=travelbonus
I would have seen this link in the original post if I hadn't been so excited about the news !!
Thanks for letting us know about this. I was just about to transfer points to BA this week- I'll wait until mext week now and save over 50,000 points !!

I'm the one to thank for this promotion. I knew that Diners/BA will do this, right after I transferred all my Diners to BA.

Sorry Sam; but thanks.

With the recently announced changes to the Chase BA Visa, I thought maybe the deal with the US DC card was killed as part of the deal with Chase, glad to see that's not the case.
Note that as discussed in this thread (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/other-credit-card-programs/1008977-ba-chase-visa-now-most-rewarding-us-credit-card.html) the new Chase BA Visa benefits may be of great interest to anyone taking advantage of this, if you can run $30k/year through your Chase BA Visa you get a 2-for-1 companion award certificate which can greatly increase the value of the miles you transfer to BA.

How can the companion certificate increase the value of miles transferred? Can you use the companion award with an award ticket?

How can the companion certificate increase the value of miles transferred? Can you use the companion award with an award ticket?
It appears so. So long as you meet the requirements, two people could fly roundtrip to Europe in first class on BA for 100,000 miles instead of 300,000. Example: 100,000 Diners points convert to 150,000 BA miles, enough for one ticket. Then use the award companion certificate to get a free ticket for the traveling companion. I sure would make sure that points converted from Diners can be used in conjunction with the companion certificate; it appears them can. All travel has to be on BA.
Can you use the companion award with an award ticket?
Indeed you can only use the new companion award with a mileage redemption...
Voucher is valid for a companion ticket in conjunction with Cardmember's reward flight on BA taken within 2 years from the date of issue.

As others have pointed out their companion voucher is for award ticket bookings, it is a benefit they've offered BA AMEX card holders in the UK (and maybe elsewhere too) for a while, and they are now rolling it out to US BA card holders.

I know that this question has been asked before but I can't find the answer using thr search function.
I know that DC says that transfers willt ake 2-4 weeks. How long does a transfer to BA usually take. Is there any way to speed it up?
Also, can I transfer my DC rewards to my wifes account?
transfers usually post in a day or 2 in my experience.
No idea about the wife's account.
I called Diner's yesterday and requested points to be transferred to BA. When I checked my BA account at 6 a.m. this morning the miles had been posted. It doesn't get any faster than that. I don't know either about transferring to your wife's account- I suppose if she is on the Diner's account with you, it would be OK.

Did the 50% bonus post the next morning as well?
Yes, they did. When I ordered the transfer of 100,000 points, the Diners agent confirmed that 150,000 milees would be credited.
