Should be! Issue was only for transfers made on JAN 16th, 2024. Those are still stuck...atleast for me, it still is.

Same status for me as well. Issue at AMEX's end.
I was told that when transfers are rejected, which seemingly is how they are treating this, the points normally get returned to the MR account. They would not give me a firm answer on this though which is pretty infuriating given that I don't want to park more points than necessary in my AP account and the flights that I wanted to book are long gone.

Update 3: Issue has been resolved at AMEX's end
After multiple calls to AMEX, they finally confirmed that they have resolved the issue. For me, that meant they credited the points back to my MR account.

Did 3 transfers, totalling >100k points - all of them went through near instantaneously!

Aeroplan miles not appearing after transfer

I transferred points to my Aeroplan account from AMEX and they show when I look at family sharing, but when I look at my account, it doesn't show under activity and they aren't available to use. I transferred points the other day and many other times and they were available and appeared immediately. Anyone have any ideas what may be going on? Calling is useless as they keep saying they can't connect me due to call volume. Thanks!

When you say they showed up in family sharing, what do you mean? Did your personal total AP miles increase?

No, my personal points don't increase, but when I look at the family sharing accounts, under each person's name is the number of miles and under my name it shows the transferred miles.

So when you add up number of miles that you see in family sharing it is different than your total you see in your account?

Yes. The transferred miles don't show in the total available.

EDIT: They just appeared. Must be a slow computer day. Thanks so much!

I transferred from Amex 35 minutes ago. They instantly show as a line item under activity, but haven't been added to my total miles so are unavailable for use. On hold to AC, but has anyone else had experience with this and how long it's taken for them to be available to use? I keep refreshing in hopes...
[MENTION=169475]HofstraJet[/MENTION] how long was it for yours to show in the total?

Took about 45 minutes. Transferred more a little later and it was instantaneous, so there must be a glitch that only occurs sometimes.

Thanks. Sounds more promising than AC picking up the phone!

UPDATE: Exactly one hour after the points were in the account, they were added to the total.

I had exactly the same thing happen today. The activity appears but the total didn't update until a couple of hours later even though looking at family sharing and summing the amounts did show correctly immediately. Bizarre but all's-well-that-ends-well.

Same thing happening to me today. Only one seat left on the flight I want, so nerve-wracking to say the least.

Interestingly, a suggestion I saw on Reddit (to book the flights via the AC iPhone app) worked! Even though the points didn't show as "Available," the booking went through!
