Actually, the update to they system that allows flights to appear in one day was just done in August. Up until then, 72 hours was the norm. So your miles could not have been posting in one day over the last six months. Things that cause miles not to post? No AA number, standby, system glitch, wrong AA number due to name mismatch (seeing a lot of this lately due to people puttin their secure flight data in the ticketing field), gremlins and simple inattention as mentioned above.
