Diners Club (USA) list of transfer partners and ratios (2024).
If anyone can help, I would be greatly appreciative.
A friend owes me some miles/points, and wants to transfer them to me from his Club Rewards account.
But, I can't find a list of transfer partners online. I'm particularly interested in the airline partners. Does anyone have a list?
Also, is there a fee to transfer the points?
I would ask him these questions, but he's not a miles/points hound, so I might get better info here. I did a search of this board, but nothing really turned up.
Thanks!

DC transfer ratios
Hi,
I'm having a hard time finding the transfer ratios for DC points into FF program miles. Is it always 1:1? Is there a website or online resource where I can look this up?
Thanks

In which country is your Diners Club card issued? The transfer rates are published in the online redemption catalog. Canadian and USA cardholders must login to see this information.
In the USA program the airline transfers are 1000:1000 for those programs denominated in "miles". It varies for airlines which use points or other units. The hotel transfers are in multiples of 1250, ranging from a low of 1250:750 for Hyatt and Starwood to a high of 1250:3300 for Best Western.

Hi Mia,
Thanks for the info.
I am interested mainly in the US conversion rates but also in the Canadian or any other rates.
The reason I ask is that we have a tool that calculates and compares frequent flyer rates across multiple programs and we are now ready to add the transfer comparison as well.
You can [discuss] the tool here:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trave...milez-biz.html
On the results page there is going to be a "transfer rate" button that will show how many points/miles need to be transferred for a specific award flight w/ a specific FF program.
We have the SPG and a bunch of Amex rates ready, but don't have any DC rates. The rates tables are only available to members?
Thanks

Well, at least the transfer choices can vary from member type to member type. Speicficially, the one I know about: Corporate DC members in the US can still transfer to AA, but personal DC cardmembers in the US no longer can.
Thus it's not even possible to have just one conversion chart for all US DC members (at least not without footnotes)!
And, by the way, in case you're not aware, no one in the US/Canada who isn't already a personal DC cardholder can become one. For several years now, DC US/Canada has not been taking new personal card applications, and we haven't yet heard of definite plans to restart those on any particular date.
Which makes it all the less value (other than for pure curiosity purposes) for them to publicly publsh the conversion rates.

A common use of DC transfers, I would think, is to top off when you don't have quite enough for an award (either in an airline program or at a hotel program). That (rather than staritng from 0 and transfering the full amount needed for an award) is I think how I've always used mine to date. I tend to leave as many points as I can for unanticipated top-off needs myself (rather than transferring out everything I have as soon as I have it).

I have merged two threads and updated post #2 to include the details of the transfer ratios. All airlines transfer 1000:1000 except El Al and Southwest.

Just one point - there is also no fee to transfer to Amtrak. To me, this is the best value for my points now as my family loves to take train trips when possible.

Ouch, I thought this fee went away when Diners Club moved to BMO. I tried a transfer to Aeroplan today and wasn't charged a a $0.95 fee. I wonder why they're still charging you this fee.

If so, an example of a transfer to Aeroplan (which is a Canadian airline) doesn't by itself necessarily prove things have changed.
