I was sorry about not making that clear.
Anyway you are probably right... they wont know what DL does, but if someone DOES receive the miles in their DL or other accounts on DAY X, then that person should also look at the date the airline actually codes the transactions as well.
What I'm getting at is this: I know NW, for example, will post something say, today, that was not in my account yesterday--and so I know what day I received the miles. BUT the date that they actually use in posting it--and the line item spot in which it now falls in my lists of NWA transactions--will be the one they registered the activity on their end.
if emiles sends miles over on DAY 1 and the airline receives them on DAY 2, they'll probably post them with DAY2's date, regardless of when they actually do show up.
Working this backwards--for any airline--should inveriably tell us what the system basically is. When that happens for someone, let's all post it to show how it went.
My own miles have yet to get to level to post too, and I am NW not DL.
It should also be noted that NL, CO and DL are partners and that this whole emile gig looks like something that's going to remain exclusive to sky team for a while--with some exceptions here and there.
i hope some of this helped someone
