Yes I can add my own experience too. I flew on Friday and Saturday with SAS, points posted on Monday. Not bad going.

I'm still waiting for my points to credit.. 2 months after contacting A3 CS and almost 3 month from the flights. They are still "waiting reply from the operating airline Turkish Airlines". Don't know which party is the blame and root cause of this delay, but still not very good service towards their customers.
Flew KSC-IST-MLE-IST-KSC on TK. ME (and 3 other passengers) didn't get mile for one leg MLE-IST flown on 1 January. Tried to claim missing miles on A3 website (your request has been rejected). The emailed claim to M&B. They keep answering me for over two month that they do not have answer from TK.
I have no idea what else can we do.

I am in similar situation, soon 3 months since flights that never posted for me, but everyone else in the entourage had points posting within 3 days.
It seems to me that the retro claim procedure when it comes to *A partners is rather poor.
Regarding the flights with Air China, we have contacted the airline operating carrier, and the reply is pending. The procedure is expected to be completed within the following 30 days, and once it is settled, I will inform you accordingly.

I changed 2 to 0 in the line "Aegean Airlines: 0 - 4 days (if upgrade voucher used, 2 - 7 days)", because my latest voucher upgrade flight which departed at 1900 Athens time, was credited before I went to bed at 0100 Athens time.

Had a recent situation where a ZH Q class didn't post. Retroclaim was denied as well stating fare class not accruable. Contacted customer service via email and have not received a reply.
I gave up and retroclaimed via SQ KF and it posted immediately into KF.
Another situation with an agent booked ZH Y Ticket. Ticket was issued by CA (999 Ticket) and booking class was P (First Class). Lovely situation flying on a Y Ticket with F miles, the miles posted in 2 days.

I had the same problem with TK for me and the person traveling with me. Both A3 numbers were on the tickets of our 4 flights in Dec 2018. Only 1 of them posted automatically, did a retro-claim for the other 3 flights which was rejected and in the end the miles posted last week. So it took more or less 4 more months for the miles to post. Pretty annoying.

Indeed the OA/A3 side of things seems to be working very well at the moment. Yesterday I took two connecting domestic flights. The first departed 09:25 arrived in ATH around 10:00 and it had posted by the time I left the lounge at 13:00. The afternoon flight hadn't posted last night but was there when I checked at 6am today! Don't worry - I DO have a life and I don't usually pay so much attention to this kind of thing. I was just bored and thought I'd keep a close eye on it. Anyway I'm currently the "winner" at <4hrs!
