Time required for redemption ticket to be issued

This must be a very basic question. For those who don't have a US credit card who try to issue a redemption ticket, we have to put the ticket on hold and then call American Advantage and give the credit card info to the customer service agent. I was told that it takes 24 to 48 hours for the ticket to be issued. True ?

Yes, in my experience it takes 2 or 3 days for the ticket to be issued after calling in with credit card details.

It seems faster lately in general for tickets to be issued, but in the case of a foreign credit card just keep checking you rez for the status to be updated to 'ticketed'. It's also when you receive a final confirmation email.

What country? I've had no problem issuing an award using my Mexico based account and my Mexican credit card directly on the site. No calling required, but it took 2-3 days to issue.

Took 12 hours. But now the issue of AA not having the right (or any) baggage allowance stated on the ticket, and now Qatar Airways says that I have no luggage allowance. Kept going back and forth between the two airlines - AA says they put in a note, QR says they don't see the note... What else is there to do ?
