American Airlines is back as a transfer partner!

Anyone know the transfer rate? Or the transfer rate to Hyatt??

On the personal card anyone know the points earn rate for the DC and optional mastercard?

Cheers.

**EDIT: Sorry Mods thought this was new ala the Qantas launch. Please close thread.**

Diners Club Rewards have been able to transfer to AAdvantage for a while. The rate is 1000 DC points = 500 AAdvantage points and I think there is a minimum 1000 points transfer.

However, if you have 40,000 DC points its better value to launder through SPG where is the same 2:1 transfer rate to SPG (so 40,000 DC -> 20,000 SPG) and then from SPG to AAdvantage gets a 5,000 mile bonus for every 20,000 SPG points converted 1:1 to AAdvantage, resulting in 25,000 AAdvantage miles.

Actually, is this new?

You can now transfer your Diners Club Reward points to a total of 13 airlines including; American Airlines, Delta Airlines, EL AL Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, Korean Air, SAS (Scandinavian Airlines), Singapore Airlines, Southwest Airlines, South Africa Airways, Thai Airways, Virgin Atlantic, and Virgin Airlines.

Virgin Atlantic? Really? Is anyone able to confirm?

How many points for each mile?

4 DC points = 1 mile. Far better to transfer Amex MR points.
