I have transferred to OZ, SQ and KAL. For all airlines, I believe it has taken less than 4 days.

Quite happy with the turn around times.

Transfer to LH - 4 days and counting...

Did consecutive 3 transfers (in 3 days) about 1,5 years ago and they were all between 1 and 2 days...

SPG internal point transfers now taking longer

Just wanted to share how disappointed I was to find out that SPG internal transfers between household members are being given a window of 7-10 business days now (instead of 5). I received an email regarding my transfer, which said it would take up to 5, but followup correspondence and a phone call later confirmed that the window for internal transfers is now closer to 10 business days. I know SPG has been infamously slow on this in the past-- is anyone else terrified about what will happen when the merger hits?

Welcome to FT! ^

I don't think Marriott allows this function at all so I would be more terrified of loosing this functionality all together rather then some process/procedural slow down. (I believe in the past this process was slowed to minimize fraud and abuse of this process).

My apologies if my question is not a novel one, and I have read the Wiki on the matter, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer.

My question is to do with SPG-to-KrisFlyer transfer times:

• I purchased 30,000 Starpoints on Tuesday 5th May (U.K./London time).
• Today is Thursday 14th May.
• By my calculations (which may, admittedly, be wrong!) seven working/business days have now elapsed... and still no 35,000 deposit in my Singapore Airlines FFP account.

(I'm basically sweating over a couple of Kris seats which, whilst available now, from several dummy bookings I've made look like disappearing very soon and I'm trying to arrange a 'trip of a lifetime' for my elderly mother, you see.)

• From the Wiki, it says that SPG points tend to get deposited to Kris on Tuesdays (Singapore Standard Time); Tuesday came and went.
• Then I read on ThePointsGuy that it takes 7 days to complete... today is the 7th day and still nothing has arrived (and Singapore is 8 hours ahead of London).

I'm just wondering whether anyone has seen SPG transfers take more than 7 days to credit to Krisflyer? (I do appreciate that SPG Ts & Cs say that it can taken 7-10 business days, but, from reading FT, it seems that most people see a completed transfer within 7 days or less.)

Could I also ask if there is any "sleight-of-hand" or a relatively cost-efficient way of generating a shortfall of 20,000 KrisFlyer miles within a 2-day period? I very much doubt it, and I have maxed out on my annual MR points referrals already. It's just that I am loathe to buy Kris miles from Singapore Airlines at $40.00/1000 miles.

Whatever the case, thank you for taking the time to read this -- I do appreciate it.

I am in a similar position to Scoob. Initiated a transfer to Singapore on the 6th, and still haven't seen the miles.

The confirmation email said 7-10 business days, which, by my math, means that I should give SPG a call to follow up tomorrow...

Virgin America

Initiated: May 25th

Post Date: Still Pending...

Requested a transfer on May 25th, and my points have not yet posted in my Virgin America account. The e-mail I received indicated that they would be posted in 4-6 business days, the gentleman I spoke to on the phone just informed me that it's up to 14 business days for Virgin America. Not sure who to believe, but this has been my slowest SPG transfer yet.
