I also purchased a few more miles as well so that we will both have enough miles to book a flight in the next day or so. It appears the company says it takes 48 hours for such transactions to appear in the recipients mileage plus account. Does it always take that long??? If so, can someone tell me WHY? My credit card was charged instantly for the transactions and the miles i transferred disappeared instantly out of my mileage plus account.

Thanks in advance for any info!
FWIW, the Continental/United mileage transfers happened for me instantaneously.
