Ultimate Rewards to Flying Blue Delayed?
Not an urgent emergency, but I was trying to lock in a flight for next summer and transferred over some Chase Ultimate Rewards points this morning (Pacific Time) into a Flying Blue account I've never redeemed from before but had for a while. Nothing yet, several hours later. Everything I've read said this should have been instantaneous or at least within an hour or so.
Anyone else having this issue?

FYI, you can also hold award bookings for 3 days, if you call their 800 number
They may charge you a $22 booking fee when you call back with the miles, but a small premium to pay if you get a discounted award
Read that you may have to HUCA for the hold, but the agents I came in contact with didn't seem to skip a beat when I asked to hold an award.
