Does anyone know whether or not one can earn Delta Skymiles using Diners Card?

I don't believe you can directly earn SkyMiles while using DC. However, you do earn DC points and these can be converted to SkyMiles on a 2:1 exchange.

Thanks for the help. Does this mean that for every $2 spent on DC is worth 1 Skymile?

Two Diners Club Club Rewards points are earned per $1.00 spent with the card. Two points convert to one SkyMile. In other words, $1.00 spent = 1 SkyMile.

As stated in your DL forum post, you'll be able to transfer to DL. You'll need to open a US DC card. Go to Citibank's website and you'll find the information.

What keeps me from transfering any points to any other than BA is that promition period where you get 1 BA mile for each point.... the special transfer rate is just too good to pass up on. Now, if they didnt have the 50K point limit...

The maximum UA/AA miles that can be converted to points (and presumably on to BA, all on a 1-to-1 basis) is 50K per year.

But as this thread indicates, the limit isn't enforced, as long as each transaction is for not more than 50K.
