Are 1,250 DC points still worth 750 Starwood points?

Also, what is the conversion rate to Southwest?

Do I remember correctly that you receive 2 DC points for every $USD spend?

Thanks for your help. Just trying to get an idea of value as I am in need of some WN credits.

Not for several years. When USA and Canadian issued Diners Club cards began to use Mastercard network for transaction processing the earnings rate was changed to $1 = 1 point, and the number of points required for an award was reduced by 50%.

You can see the current USA transfer ratios here:

1. Are 1,250 DC points still worth 750 Starwood points?
Yes, and there's NO 95-cent tax recovery fee.

2. Also, what is the conversion rate to Southwest?
1500 DC + 95c = 1 RR.

3. Do I remember correctly that you receive 2 DC points for every $USD spend?
Yes U do, but it has changed as per Mia #2.
