Did you get a ticket number? (13 digit number starting with 006?) Or just a six character reservation locator?
If just the reservation locator, then your ticket has not actually been paid for and your reservation will soon be voided. If you got a ticket number also and haven't had the miles deducted, sounds like a DL IT glitch because that should have happened immediately.

I am curious about mileage upgrades. I called and did a mileage upgrade last week for a flight this fall and our seats were changed immediately but the miles haven't been deducted yet. Does that occur closer to the actual time of travel?

To original post, I just booked two reward tickets last week for family members. It took about 60 minutes for my miles to disappear.

INSTANT all the time unless it is not ticketed right which happens and the ticket just Hold. Call and ask and confirm and make sure
