UhOh. Doesn’t look good. I was also considering this after the UR option ended. Per TPG:
POINTS TRANSFER TIMES:

Still Waiting
As of December 28, we are still waiting on a whopping
four airlines to receive the points at all:
- ANA (transferred on 9/28)
- Korean Air (transferred on 9/28)
- TAP Air Portugal (transferred on 9/28)
- Virgin Australia (transferred on 11/2)
Since these are all at least a month old (three of which are over
two months old), we reached out to Marriott to inquire about this discrepancy, since the program’s terms and conditions provide a window of “approximately six (6) weeks” for the miles to arrive. Here’s the statement provided to
TPG:
“For transfers not posting in a timely manner, we did send the data you cited to our airline partners as usual and are working with them to learn why this is happening.”
I personally would stay away from transferring to these airlines until the issue is resolved.
