Transferred Hyatt points about an hour ago, they still havent posted... Is this cause for concern? I only ask because on here it mentions its normally instant.

Singapore KrisFlyer Transfer Time
I just transferred 298,000 miles from my Chase Ink to Singapore KrisFlyer and it was surprisingly fast! Not instant though.
Sent the request at 4:26 pm and at 6:41 pm (2 hours and 15 minutes) I got an email from KrisFlyer welcoming me to the program after the miles transferred! I had just created a KrisFlyer account and this was my first transaction, which is why they emailed me when the points transferred (not sure if they normally do that).
I now have two roundtrip tickets in Singapore Suites First Class LAX to NRT!

I just went to transfer some points off of a Chase card, intending to cancel it before the $95 annual fee hits, and saw this:
If we suspect that you’ve engaged in fraudulent activity related to your credit card account or Ultimate Rewards, or that you've misused Ultimate Rewards in any way (for example... repeatedly opening or otherwise maintaining credit card accounts for the sole purpose of generating rewards) we may temporarily prohibit you from earning points or using points you've already earned. If we believe you've engaged in any of these acts, we'll close your credit card account and you'll lose all your points.
Are there any threads on any thresholds for this? Has anyone been hit with this, without doing flagrant manufactured spend just to hit the minimum?
Thanks,

Just transferred points to KrisFlyer at ~6:30 PM EDT. Got an email from KrisFlyer saying the points were transferred into my account at 10:41 PM EDT.

Transferred 19k points into my BA account earlier today but the transfer hasn't gone through. Called UR and they told me it looks ok on their end. Anyone have problems recently with this? Any idea how long until it would go through? Need the miles for a trip tomorrow...

i'd call UR and ask for a reference number, and ph BA, and offer it to them, explaining your need to redeem for a flight tomorrow, worth a shot, all the best with it.

A little followup - went ahead and transferred another 18k. The second batch went through right away. I guess I'll just followup with BA when I get back from vacation if the original 18k doesn't post

that's good news, at least you can book, and the other 18K will show up in either account, and you have peace of mind.

Not to get people too spun up, but there are rumors--triggered in part by Chase's apparent withdrawal of all landing pages promoting their co-branded Amtrak card--that Chase & Amtrak may be parting ways soon. (See discussion in http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/amtra...astercard.html.)
If that happens, I expect (per Amtrak's past practice) that it will be with little or no advance notice, with a corresponding abrupt end to transferability of UR points.
I hope for the best, that this is just another idle rumor, but fear for the worst.
