For those who transferred recently, does it now take longer to transfer to United? Also, should I be concerned that it has been about 24 hours so far? Usually, the transfer is instant. I am not traveling any time soon, so I am not under a time crunch; just don't want to lose the points. Was 7,000 point xfer.
That's sort of what this whole thread is about, right? That what was once a guaranteed instant transfer is no longer the case.
If you read through the thread, it seems to be very much a YMMV type of thing as to how long the transfer takes to show up in your UA MP account.
