I was wondering what FTers experience is with how fast the miles redeposit into your account? I am hoping to catch a very close to departure F award on LH next Feb, but want to book a UA J award now as my back-up. The problem is I don't have enough miles to have both booked simultaneously. And since LH making F awards being made available to partner carriers so late and in limited supply, I would need to cancel UA awards and then book LH award only after miles are redeposited.... and I don't want to get caught in no-man's land. If the redeposit is instantaneously (very rapidly), I won't have a issue. Taxes and fees refund timing is not an issue.
