I've been having similar problems since spring. Only one stay posted within 2 weeks. All the rest have gone 3-5 weeks.

Yes, as others have said, they post eventually. And RM/AAH certaintly has developed a knack this year for getting them posted within in 1-2 days of meeting the posting deadline. So no one can come on the forum and say 'but they're not meeting the stated deadline'..

It's not all about the deadline though or posting 'eventually'. LPs count for upgrades and bonus thresholds. When I'm sitting on 30K of spend earning additional LPs at 20% instead of 30%, because RM/AH posting slowdowns have been so consistent & persistent the last 4-5 months for me, it's a big hit.

There's lots of FTers getting postings in a week or so. I'm truly happy for them. If I could buy the secret that makes it happen I would lol. But it is not happening for me. I'm still waiting on a 9/1 night to post.

I'll be at PlatPro (hopefully Oct), but who knows. I have one more stay coming up and the way AAH is posting for me now, actually posting could linger into December. But I'm sure RM/AAH will squeeze it in just under the wire.

Stopping at Plat Pro this year, largely because of my personal frustration with Hotel posting times. I have a lot of AA award miles so there's better value and less frustration in switching things up.
