"Pay Later" stays, where one pays at the hotel upon check in, don't seem to be posting at all, or at least they are taking many weeks. I know the T&C say it can be up to 8 weeks, but that has not been my experience prior to this year. To be fair, my n-value on "Pay Later" is pretty small.

I had my first "Pay Later" stay of the 2024 "Elite year" the first week in March. The miles and LP posted today, almost 6 weeks later, with no intervention; i.e. I did not call or inquire. Posting took a while, but it did happen as it was supposed to and within the 8-week T&C window.
