With regard to this 8 weeks mandatory wait prior to help by AS to assist with partner missing mileage credit which pax are experiencing..

Q: Does anyone see that information present on any of the partner airline pages?

AS Request Missing Credit Page

and then moving into the request form..

Note: credit for some airline partner flights may take up to 8 weeks to reflect on your account. See Airline partners page for more info.
and the final page directs the user back to the partner airlines directory page. I have browsed all of the partner airlines, but I cannot see any statements on the partner directory page nor the individual partner pages that indicate any partner is subject to the "up to 8 weeks" policy.

edit:

Chatted with Customer Care, and here’s the SOP:
  • Wait 14 days for the partner mileage to post. If not after 14 days then:
  • File the mileage credit request
    • If an agent states you must wait “up to 8 weeks” before filing the request or to request assistance, then escalate to a lead or HUCA
  • If mileage doesn’t post after 8 weeks from the date the request is submitted, then contact Customer Care and it should be manually posted in a timely manner.

TLDR: AS shouldn’t be requiring a pax to wait 8 weeks prior to processing a partner mileage credit request, and if you encounter this then escalate it.
