By mid-afternoon I called CS for the number on my CSR, and they advised the standard 7-10 day window, and then gave me some nonsensical answer about how United "might be backed up with processing these transfers" (I have a hard time imagining someone sits a cubicle somewhere manually processing these).
Anyone aware of any issues with transfer times, or have recent data points?
In the last couple years, I have done two Chase -> United points transfers (five- or six-digit point values). The smaller took 1-2 days to complete; the larger, 2-3 days to complete.
