This sounds about right. My 9/30 NW-coded KL flight posted immediately, but the 10/1 KL-coded flight didn't (nor did the 10/5 return flights). I requested the 10/1 flight 8 days later via the website, and it posted yesterday (10/11) along with the return KL flights with the "S." And the "S" disappeared and the miles posted today (10/12), 7 days after the flights.
I think you figured it out!
And thanks for the Gold 800 number offer. If you wouldn't mind PMing it my way, I'd greatly appreciate it since I'll probably need it tomorrow and probably won't get my card for a month or so.
