Asia Miles says can 6-8 weeks, while Citi says points should transfer within 14 days. Think it's possible to have Citi cancel the transfer and reinstate the points?
Call Citi or tweet their support. I had a failed Flying Blue transfer which caused me to miss out on the redemption. Make some noise. I got lucky with how I came out (YMMV since there was a known issue with Flying Blue transfers):
  • They refunded my transferred points
  • They also gave me TY point equivalent of the cash price so I could book the rev tickets and just "pay with points"
  • The sweetest part is that the transfer eventually went through anyways. I kept my points in addition to the ones Citi gave me as goodwill. Managed to book the flights I needed via the points in my Flying Blue account.
