Amex Finland airline points transfers
Having read US Amex and its competitors transfer instantly to Flying Blue, I called Amex Finland on Thursday to verify the website information "5 business days" for all programs. I was told transfer time for all programs is 5 biz days. So I decided to test it out. I instigated a transfer to not only Finnair and Flying Blue, but also BA, SAS and Delta. Here's what happened.

Transfers executed on the self-service portal on Thursday just before 5pm.
  • Delta: instant transfer
  • SAS: next day around noon (Friday)
  • Finnair: two days (Saturday)
  • BA: two days (Saturday)
  • Flying Blue: two days (Saturday)
