Or another way to put it: When you log in to your card account at:

https://www.dinersclubus.com/home

do you click the Consumer login button or the Professional login button? (You have to pick between those to log in.)
Applied for and got years ago, maybe 7-8?

It used to be, IMO, one of the best ways to get the WN CP. You could pile up Diners points for months/years and dump them over on the specific day you wanted, as opposed to getting them all year and maybe not when you wanted with the WN Visa. As I recall, it was also 1:1 transfer, but less than that now (1500 > 1200?).

Don't have it at hand; must be stuck in a drawer. Very rarely log in, will do so sometime in next day or two. I pretty much use the card only to rent cars now. For a long time people said it had the best (only?) credit card primary car insurance coverage, but now I hear lots about Sapphire and various Amexes, so I do not know. Some blogger ought to cover this.

Probably just keeping it on momentum now.
