This is driving me nuts, I've been calling both United and Chase, and both keep pointing finger at each other. I've done these big transfer every year when we go on vacation, and never had this issue before.

On the weekend when I called United, they insisted that it has to be 72 hours before they can do anything.
Early AM today when I called united and told them it has been 72 hours, and they told me it's Chase issue, nothing they can do on their end.

I called Chase again and they're going to escalate it to their Marketing department.

Chase told me that it might take 1-7 business day to transfer to partner and it's not instant, I told them that their email confirmation for the transfer did not specify that, here is the exact language Most point transfers process instantly. Marriott Rewards®, The Ritz-Carlton Rewards® and IHG® Rewards Club point transfers usually process by next business day. Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer point transfers process within 2 business days.


I just hope when everything is all taken care of, my reward flight still available, otherwise I'm going to get stuck with United points.

Quick update, this morning Chase UR got posted back to the Chase account.
I then redo the transfer and it posted instantly on United account and I was able to book my award ticket.

This is probably due to the escalation to the Chase Marketing Department yesterday, I called Chase and insist on them to escalate the issue.

My conclusion is, if you passed 72 hours and have not seen your point posted, go call Chase to escalate your issue, United cannot do anything on their end.

Don't believe Chase when they say it might take 7 days, it's ridiculous.
United supervisor told me they've been having a lot of issue with UR transfer lately.

Thank You.
