Length of Time for Miles to Post After AS Flight?

Hi All,

I flew LAX-MFR-LAX this past weekend on AS (operated by QX) - I had no problem having AS acknowledge my status, provide better seats, etc.

For those who have flown AS, how long has it taken for your miles to post to your DL account?

Thanks!

robin

It usually takes about a week, give or take, for AS miles to post. I flew ANC-YAK on May 20 and the miles hit my account on May 25. My YAK-JNU miles from May 23 posted on June 2. On the other hand, I flew JNU-SEA on May 23 (AS metal but DL code) and the miles still haven't posted

Last flight I flew on AS, it took 9 days for the miles to post. Just be patient - they'll get there.

Ditto for me. I frequently have one leg on alaska/Horizon and it usually takes about one week to post. I have always received the miles.

Wow, even AZ segments post faster than AS, and AZ IT is worse than DL IT. (AZ segments have generally posted 2-3 days after the flight for me.) Maybe they have to send a dogsled from the Aleutians to SEA to get the mileage recorded.

My AS experiences generally require 5-7 days before miles post.

I flew AS on Sunday the 5th, arriving into FAI at 1:30 a.m. on the 6th. Nada at this point.
