How long are Chase UR to United transfers currently taking?
Yes, I know the boilerplate statement is "1 - 2 business days and up to 7" on the Chase web site. All the "expert" blogs I read though said transfers were instantaniously. Just curious if any one has recent experiences and can share how long their transfers took.
On the fast end, the Chase to UA transfer is near instant. On the slowest end for our managed accounts -- when they post without any follow-up on our end-- it's about 3 days or maybe nearly 4 at the worst for us. Even for the minority of times when the transfer exceeds 12/24 hours, the transfer seems to usually complete less than 48-52 hours any way. Fortunately, the vast majority of the time, it's close enough to near instant that we don't lose the mileage ticket space.
Sometimes the following transfer after a delayed transfer can be near instant, and that is even when the delayed transfer and the near instant transfer(s) were made on the same day.
