I was able to transfer miles from 4 UA accounts, including mine, to my DC account as well as from 2 AA accounts, one mine, one my partners, to my DC account also.
As for the last airline partner Delta, we don't fly Delta often enough to have been able to transfer miles to DC from multiple accounts.

Actually, the program just ended for this year, in July 2001. I was able to transfer over 490,000 UA/AA/DL miles to DC and then transfer them over to BA. If you use the "Search" feature, there are many posts about this DC program, should you be interested in it. While the offer does claim 50,000 pts per airline, one can actually transfer more than the 50K.

Except Delta, I couldn't get them to transfer more then 50,000 miles to my Diners, no matter how hard I tried.</font>

CG, I think the trick was to request the transfers either online or by the automated phone options as opposed to a live person. Others noted that they were also able to transfer more than the limit.</font>

Did a transfer of 20K DL miles from fiancee's account on my DC card with the automated phone system.
While I appreciated the convenience, I was a bit surprised to see no PIN was required. SkyMiles folks better keep their membership number very confidential!
