Diners Club Award Changes and Bonuses

Starting April 1st 2500 Diners Club points will yield only 1500 Priority Club points, down from the current 2000. It will also take 3000 Diners Club points for 1 Southwest Rapid Rewards credit, up from 2000.

Club Rewards members have until March 31 to redeem at the current rates.

Meanwhile, transfers of Club Rewards points between May 1 and August 31 will receive a 50% transfer bonus just like last year. This is something of a disappointment because previous years had seen a 100% summer bonus.

Between March 1 and May 31, transfers to USAirways earn a 25% bonus. (Registration required.)
