and the united miles didn't post until the morning of the 19th.
*both 500 rdm & 500 eqm vs actual mileage of 227

I've never had a problem getting the miles for *A flights to post until my recent Egypt Air flights. I flew JNB-CAI on July 11th -- the first day MS became a member of *A -- and then CAI-JNB on July 17th.
Surrounding those flights, I flew CPT-JNB and JNB-CPT on SAA. When I got back home, my SAA flights had already posted where my MS flights had not.
On July 21st, I called MP to put in a request for the credit for the MS flights. I gave them my ticket number and seat number and they said it would take 30 days to post. I called again in late August because the miles still hadn't posted and MP told me that my request wasn't submitted until August 7th (so it took United 16 days to submit my request
) and that it could take 60 days for the miles to post.
Anyway, here we are, September 7th, and the miles from my July flights still haven't posted. Anybody else have any experience with Egypt Air and the miles from those flights posting?

The only delay in getting my miles I've ever had with a flight on LH, when they have my MP number at booking, is when a flight was canceled and I was put on a different flight out of a different airport. I'm guessing the changed routing caused the problem, but doing the online mileage credit at .bomb got me compensated in about 10 days.

Has anyone gotten MS credit?
Bumping this thread as I'm curious to see if anyone has gotten MS miles credited to their UA MP accounts (especially for MS domestic flights)
Like the poster above, I submitted a request via dot bomb for several MS domestic flights but nothing has come through...
