Does anyone have any experience of how long these typically take to post? The Hyatt site says to allow 6-8 weeks but I wonder whether that has any resemblance to the typical real world experience or if they are just covering themselves due to some airlines occasionally being very slow? (In my experience, QF points are often very quick to post in almost all situations, but this is a new one for me.)
