Miles posting immediately after flight
Anyone else experience this? I had a flight yesterday landed at the destination at 11:05 PM and when I logged into Delta to track my baggage the miles for the flight had already posted. (11:25 ish)
My status also updated immediately as well from regular ole SkyMiles to silver medallion.

I hit Gold Medallion last year and had the welcome email or whatever you want to call it in my inbox before I landed. It was SEA-HKG and the email was there when I turned my phone off after touching down in HKG.

I've never seen it hit that quick. It took about 24 hours from the time I landed on my last flight for the miles to show up, and about 48 hours for my Medallion status to change from Tupperware to Silver.

Who remembers back in the day when like clockwork, the miles were in your account in the time it took to get to your seat after scanning your bp?
That's not to say I have issues with the current posting time. I wish others (ahem...B6) would do a better job of posting sooner.

In the not too distant past I was getting mine posted very quickly after the flight. Recently, it's been closer to 48 hours after the flight but last Friday's posted by midnight.

Even if you do - as a silver, set your expectations for any comp UG very low. Probably won't matter/you likely won't clear even if your status updates in time
