No, its says "Bonus miles will be posted one (1) week from the transfer receipt by Delta." So yes, it should take about a week but I was posting to let me know it does not always happen within the hour.
P.S. Still have not posted as of11/5/08 @ 8:32pm

I was thinking of their other bonus for transferring miles, which has a longer delay. Sorry.

Seriously, I transferred miles tonight 11/14/08 for a different award ticket and it even posted faster, within the hour this time. I really like this delta bonus, no guessing when things will post.

Yes, the transfer happens through a "linked account". He links his MR to your DL and there ya go. I don't know if there are limits ex-MR, perhaps someone else can chime in. I don't think there are any limits, however.

Despite Delta's obvious issues, this is still pretty tempting. I've got about 200K MR points that would go a long way in SkyMiles with the bonus.
Does anyone have any final word on whether the 20% and 30% bonuses will both be applied to transfers if you registered for both?

I wonder if you can "point advance" to the max and then transfer and get the bonus on those too? I am in Knoxville, TN, so I can drive over to ATL if necessary to get reasonable redemption rates with Delta. Now that they have NWA merging in, I like the option of that Memphis hub coming into play when I fly West.

Has anyone who did the m/r transfer back when it was for the 20% bonus have their miles post yet? I transfered 240,000 back on Oct 11. Frustrated to see everyone getting 30% bonus now and their miles posting quickly too. I am not even sure who to call about the missing miles. The fine print said allow 4-6 weeks - which I did - now what?
