Unless if I'm missing something now thru Dec 31 you can convert 30K DC points into 101,250 Delta Skymiles, this takes into account the current 35% DC to DL bonus (https://www.citibank.com/dinersus/jsp/clubrewards/catalog/english/travelbonus.jsp) and gets even better with the just introduced Delta Maxmiles promo (https://www.delta.com/marketing/maxmiles/index.jsp).
Here's my math:
A. Convert 30K DC into DL with the 35% bonus = 40,500 miles, then
B. 40,500 miles + 150% Maxmiles bonus (60,750 miles) = 101,250 SkyMiles
If this is indeed true all that I can say is WOW!!!
PS: There's a wild thread (http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=890308) on the DL forum about this DL Maxmiles promo

Already did this earlier today.
Hope there won't be a bait and switch, cause it's hard to spend these miles as fast as they are being devalued.

Very nice, I am getting rid of my DC card at the end of the year, I had 15000 points, which will translate to 12000 Skymiles (Canadian, no bonus :mad:), which with the bonus will be 30000 :)
you can also convert up to 50K aa miles to 25K diners club points.
if you only have that many diners club points, 50K AA miles become 78125 Delta miles
if you have 5K extra diners club points, 50K AA miles becomes 84375 Delta miles (and the extra 5000 dines club points become an extra becomes 16875 Delta miles)
i transferred diners to delta, the points posted in delta, and now it appears that delta has pulled the promo :mad:

Per a thread in MilesBuzz, apparently it was supposed to be targeted, but accidentally got posted without such a qualification.
CSRs are telling people that if you registered while it was up, you "should" get the bonus. It would helpful if you had "printout" of the offer. (In that other thread someone tried to post a saved HTML of the offer page in a message, tho it looks a bit funky on FT, you could try copying it into a browser and see if it looks right there.)
If you didn't register, though, it's apparently too late.
