How Long for Airline Miles to Post
Stayed at a BW a month ago and my American Airlines miles have not posted. Contacted BW and they said they were "processed" and to wait longer. Anyone have any experience with this?

I don't know about AA miles, but my AC miles have always posted within a week of the stay posting to my account, over 15 or so stays.

Keep in mind that AA is in the middle of a merger of two programs (AA & US), which among other things means absorption of staff from another program who aren't as familiar with the AA program as longtime AA employees were.
So SS are having sporadic problems with slow posting from various partners (including Citi;s AA cards both recently and half a year ago or so, and Cartera's AAdvantage Shopping recently, and a month or two ago with Avis car rentals). I thus wouldn't be surprised that they might be having some problems with hotel point to AA miles transfers going more slowly than usual too.
