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 ($1USD 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, some cards earn at different rates.
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 (i) the Professional Diners Club Credit Card that awards one Club Rewards point for every two dollars charged, (ii) the Diners Club Card Elite earns three Club Rewards points for every eligible dollar charged at grocery stores, supermarkets, drug stores, pharmacies and automobile fuel service stations when you pay at the pump; and (iii) 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?
There is no need to join! All Professional and Consumer cardmembers are automatic members of our award-winning Club Rewards Program. There is no additional fee. Enrollment is not automatic for Corporate Cardmembers as Club Rewards is an optional program. The organization determines whether its cardmembers are eligible to participate. Eligible cardmembers must enroll to earn and redeem points. Please note that there is an annual enrollment fee for Corporate Cardmembers. Corporate Cardmembers should contact your Program Manager for further details on eligibility.
Q: How can I contact the Club Rewards program?
A: If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at our Customer Contact Center at 1-800-234-4034.
Q: How do I accrue Club Rewards points?
A: Accrual is determined by the type of card you have. For example, with cards that accrue at a rate of $1 spent:1 point, for each transaction where a minimum of $0.50 is spent, will earn you 1 Club Rewards Point. Club Rewards accrual is calculated on a transaction by transaction basis (for example, if you were to spend $15.35 on purchase A, and $9.45 on purchase B, you will earn a total of 24 Club Reward points for both purchases. The remaining $0.35 from purchase A and $0.45 from purchase B will not be taken into consideration when calculating Club Reward point totals, as they fall short of the $0.50 minimum.)
Q: Do Club Rewards points expire?
A: No, your Club Rewards points will never expire as long as your account is open and in good standing (see Club Rewards Terms and Conditions for full details).
Q: Is there a limit to the number of Club Rewards points I can earn or redeem?
