The printed rules are once in each calendar year from American or United to Diners up to 50 k each airline.There are reports and posts of those that have been able to do this more then once.You may want to do some searches.That doesn't make it right however grin..........

I was able to transfer 490,000 DC points to BA in last years promotion with no problem.
Most of the points were transferred to DC from United, American and Delta, who no longer participates in the program. I transferred more than the posted 50k annual limit and transferred points from multiple ff accounts into DC.

An easy way to get 3K DC points for only $25 (which would convert into 3K BA miles, less than a cent per mile) is mentioned in this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum70/HTML/000397.html

Thanks for the advice /b* 777 global mile hound *b/ .... also I think the coffee club is offering the cups and cup promotion right now but we can hope for a double dip. Thanks and take care.

I've looked at the MilesLink page and I can't find any mention of the Diners Club to BA promotion.
I've checked the Diners Club web page and again I didn't find any mention of this promotion. And I've called Diners Club, and I was not that they hadn't made any announcements yet. Are we jumping the gun here?

Thanks for the link to the BA award charts.
I always thought the AA awards for travel on BA were ridiculously high. Things like
260k AA miles for an US-Australia First award
150k BA miles for the same award.
So I might just wash some miles through DC to a BA account for future use.

Diners Club Rewards
Normally, two Diners Club Rewards points convert to one British Airways Executive Club mile, but for the duration of this promotion, which runs from June 1 through Aug. 31, one Club Rewards point is equal to one Executive Club mile. What you want to understand is three things: it makes all British Airways awards half-price if you often use credit card miles to claim airline awards, it only comes around once a year and who really cares if you arent a regular member of Executive club? This is about flying free at half the number of miles normally required and take our world for it . British Airways is a pretty darn good airline. P.S. Look at it another way . you can fly business class for the same number of miles you normally would fly coach. Now you're listening.
So IF anyone jumped the gun, it was Randy & Co.

At the same time, I could also do CX for 140k.
But a BA award using BA miles would let me fly to Australia via London, and not fly AA for the transatlantic portion.
