I love the way Delta does it: the minute the boarding pass is scanned, the miles appear in the account--no waiting. Of course, elite status upgrades aren't handled until the weekend, so in that sense, it's pretty similar to CO.
It's a nice feature that a customer can call CO and get 'promoted' to the next level in advance!
