Anyone has an update on the latest transfer time frame? I hoping that they are still doing Wed sweep.

so i really want to redeem an award ticket on aa but im 9300 miles short typial story. If i transfer the starpoints sunday tomorrow will they post on wed/thurs? I was trying to scan this forum seems like they post on Wed typically? I can only put the awar ticket on hold until Friday so im thinking this might work out most likely?

A little OT! I was wondering how often SPG > AA Bonus transfers (increased rates) come around?
Thanks
Thanks

Data point: requested transfer from Starwood last Tuesday July 3 around 3pm NY time, points arrived in my AA account this morning around 8am NY time. Unfortunately don't know whether they missed last Wednesday's window because of the 4th of July holiday or because Tue 3pm was past the window for the week, but fortunately the award seat I was going for is still available.

Another data point: transfer requested Tuesday, September 4th at 15:09:36 GMT (that's 11:09:36 EDT). Posted to AA account today (Wednesday, September 12th).
This confirms that transfers happen on Wednesdays, however the previous data points are not consistent with a strict "every other week". There might just be a cut-off at some time on Monday or Tuesday that decides whether you'll qualify for the next Wednesday or the one after. YMMV.

If I'm transferring 40K points in one batch will it make 50K to AA ? DO I have to do it on two 20K batches to get 50K on AA ?

Ok, I can now follow up with my own data. I waited until Friday to put an AA award on hold so that they would hold it on Wednesday midnight because most places I read that points will be in your account on Wednesday morning. I did 3 transfers of 60k each on April 24, 25, and 26. All 3 transfers hit my account together this morning (April 29). I did another 40k, yesterday April 28, but that one isn't there yet.
ETA: The 40k transfer I requested on Sunday April 28 hit my account this morning on May 1.
