Of course, I'm expecting them to arrive with a 30% bonus attached, so I'm sure that requires lots of additional processing from the IT geniuses over at BA dot com.
Fortunately, I do not have an award that I'm trying to book which will vanish in minutes. Just want to make sure they haven't fallen on the floor somewhere.
Can anyone share recent experiences with how long it has taken to send and actually receive your points with bonus under the current promotion? Thanks.
not specific to the current promo, but transfers are not always instantaneous. my own understanding is that multiple transfers within a day/short period of time (even with different ffp) or very large transfer maybe flagged for fraud and could take longer time. there are some DPs online with chase, and i see quite a lot with C1. other times, i have had, and i also know people who have had, transfers that were delayed for no apparent reason. someone told me chase goes through points.com, and maybe that is also a potential problem

reddit thread has some DPs on delayed BA transfer, although their situation may not be the same as you
I’ve been desperately trying to book award availability and transferred 300k points to British Airways. It’s been over 4 days and still no luck. I’m losing my mind over here.

UPDATE: For those of you who are in the same boat, it took 6 business days to transfer, 8 regular days. I called a chase supervisor and was extremely frustrated with them, while still being respectful. I guess they pushed it that evening because a few hours later I got the points in my BA account.
I transferred about 190k the other week to BA and it took 2.5 days. Email does say up to 7 business days if I remember correctly.
