Time to get miles from AA flight

Hi,

I flew SJO-PHX-SEA with AA on the 13th of August and used my Alaska frequent flyer number when checking in.

I still haven't received my miles in my Alaska account (and I need them to reach MVP status).

How long does it usually take for miles from AA to be reflected in Alaska? Should I contact AA or Alaska to inquire?

Thanks for the info.

Midweek, the week following the flight. It probably will post tonight or tomorrow.

If it's been 2 weeks, you can send a request to Alaska with a photo of the BPs.

Recent experience to share: For LAX-CLT-SJU-CLT-LAX mileage run in mid-July, it took seven calendar days for miles to post from AA to AS.

Apparently you need to wait 14 days before requesting the miles.
