1. Mypoints 750 miles
2. Netflix 4000 miles
Plan to close the remaining 200 miles with starwood points. Any suggestions on ways to get UA miles posted within a week? Thanks a lot.
They typically take a few weeks to post, definitely more than a week.
You could buy off the miles, (5k miles will cost approx. $230 incl taxes, and these miles post in 48 hours).
And unless you are SPG Plat Preferred, you won't be able to transfer just 200 points to MP. Its minimum 1500 for SPG gold Preferred, and 2500 for SPG Preferred.
Depending on where you stay, you could do a mileage run, but it won't probably get you 5k miles at a lesser cost than $230.
