Hi All,

Does anyone know how long it takes for miles to transfer from an e-miles account to a Delta Skymiles account? I went through quite a bit of trouble to accumulate (in a very short period of time) the 500 mile minimum I needed to add to my existing Skymiles account so I could book a reward flight. Trouble is I need to fly in 5 weeks, but I just noticed e-miles rules say that it takes up to 8-10 weeks for the miles to transfer! Arrgh!!! I know I should have read this more carefully when I first signed up. I just transferred my 500 miles tonight, so at this point, I can only sit back and see how long it takes for them to show up on my Delta account, but I don't want to wait too close to my travel date to see if my miles make it in time, as the ticket price will likely go up. The annoying part is is that I need less than 200 miles to book the award ticket, but Delta only sells miles at 1000 mile increments at $70!

So my question again - does anyone have experience with transferring their miles from e-miles to Delta? And if so, how long did it take?

Alternatively, I need to get <200 miles for <$70.

Thank you,
B
