ya saa takes a while
which saa codeshare did you fly on? or are you talking about an saa operated flight with ac code
saa is extremely stingy with points, are you sure your fare class is eligible for points? the fare class on your saa ticket (under saa.com>manage my reservations) not on your ac ticket. the saa fare class is also on your saa boarding pass should say something like Y/K or Y/W or something.
datapoint: with mileage plus saa flights post a-ok within a few weeks, which is acceptable but a lot slower than ua or lh flights which often credit before i get home from the airport. never tried with errorplan
It was an AC ticket. Complete itinerary was YVR-LHR-JNB-CPT and return. I received the YVR-LHR return points but none from SAA. This was a paid J class ticket that was over 12K so it better qualify for miles. I've submitted all the flights for mileage credit through aeroplan and it's coming up to a month now and still no credits. Aeroplan number on every boarding card, name is correct, just no miles and thats a lot of mile missing.
