I had snail-mailed the receipt about 10 days later, and it takes about a week after they get the receipt to actually get the miles posted manually. Back then, missing credits entered by reps based upon submitted receipts were clearly marked "manual ticket" in one's account, and this one showed up about the time my letter would have hit their office as a regular "automatic" (albeit a very late one), system-generated credit.
How long to post at your airline account itself? Anywhere from 2 - 4 weeks after the transaction.
I concur. I had one restaurant that would never post, so just faxed in the receipts after calling the help desk and 1 week later all is solved. Normally I see miles posted to RN account in about 4 business days. And usually 5-10 days later in my airline program of choice (whomever is going to give me bonus miles
).
