I flew on United back on May 11th and had given them my DM number. I know the website says 6 weeks or whatever (and it makes no sense why it should take that long...), but what kind of experience have you guys had in the time it takes for miles flown on United to show up?

As an aside, why does it always seem like I have to make multiple tries to get US to credit for mileage I've earned beyond standard US actual miles flown?

The "Clear Skies Ahead" bonus thing took me ten emails trying to get two people's miles credited properly. I finally gave up on getting the second person's miles credited. I will say that my Sprint bonus miles did show up in a timely manner.
