Q: What is Club Rewards®?
A: Club Rewards is the award-winning program from Diners Club that offers more flexibility and personal choice than any other rewards program. Only Club Rewards offers cardmembers the opportunity to earn frequent flyer miles, world-class merchandise and exclusive travel options simply by using the Diners Club Card.
Q: How does the program work?
A: Earning Club Rewards points is easy. For every eligible dollar you charge to your Diners Club Card, you automatically earn one Club Rewards point ($1 charged = 1 Club Rewards point). Charges that are eligible for points include, but are not limited to, airline, restaurant, hotel, car rental, service station, mail and online orders, and retail charges. Annual fees, payments, cash advances, foreign conversion and insurance charges are ineligible for points accrual. See Club Rewards Terms and Conditions.
Club Rewards® points are earned on all purchases less credits. One Club Rewards point is awarded per eligible dollar charged on all Diners Club® Card products, except for the Diners Club Credit Card that awards one Club Rewards point for every two dollars charged and certain centrally billed Corporate Card accounts that earn at different ratios. Transactions not eligible for Club Rewards points include, but are not limited to, card fees, additional card fees, payments, cash advances, foreign conversion charges and insurance charges. There are circumstances where Club Rewards points may be forfeited.
Q: How do I join Club Rewards? Is there an enrollment fee?
A: There is no need to join! All Professional cardmembers are automatic members of our award-winning Club Rewards Program. There is no additional fee.
