Does anyone know if it's worth trying Diners Club here in the UK or just stick with visa/mc?

From the WWW site, DC UK doesn't look too good: only one point per £5 in purchases, and while the rates to redeem points for flights look quite good on an expnditure basis in some cases (eg LON-east coast US), these are non-transferable points. IIRC, points to miles can be done only to a few airlines (AZ and CO come to mind), and 500 points = 1000 miles -- or £2500 --&gt; 1000 miles.
