Yes - you need to look at the date & flight of the first leg of an itinerary/ticket to see all legs and whether they have posted.

And, to clarify, while the first flight will show the posting date as the initial day the flight started, any subsequent flights on that ticket will post under that flight/date header, but will show the flight date/posting date of that leg in its own subsection. Seems to be a change, at least as I recall from last year.

These were all round-trips where neither the outbound or return trips posted.

Yes, this, exactly. Recently: roundtrip BCN-PHL / a month later returning PHL-BCN: the PHL-BCN return leg DID promptly post, BUT appearing in AActivity under the month-earlier outbound BCN-PHL entry.
More StupidAAty.

Long shot, but anytime it’s a return leg, they seem to be posting now under the first flight flown. I was struggling to find where my 4/14 flight posted, because I could SEE the miles but didn’t see the flight. I have to look back on 3/2 and down to the third leg on that “day”.

Same for a couple flights over the weekend. Simple one-way itinerary.

""Anyone experiencing slow posting of flights recently?"
No. My credits hit my account before I drive home.

Flew SAN-PHL yesterday. Miles hit inflight, somewhere over Iowa.

Mine are now taking longer too. Maybe a day or two.

Update—I had to call in to AA to request the miles flown on BA(credited to AA) and the CS rep put in a ticket. Few days later I got notice that BA denied the claim. Called in again to AA and this time I remembered to tell the rep I still had my paper tickets that clearly showed my AA number. Rep sent me a secure link to upload a photo of the tix and filed another claim with BA. After about 9 days I checked my account and the miles finally posted. *Didn’t get any notice though that the situation was responded—just the miles showing up in my account.

Yesterday my ATL/MIA flight was credited before the end of the flight. The cash upgrade was credited the time I got home.

Has been 5 days now so I called in, and they said the miles were “processing”.

Hotel points (Marriott) haven’t even posted from same trip. Now I’ve been questioning myself if I even travelled last weekend. :D

Noticed my flight streak posted both legs on Tuesday by Thursday, but the miles haven't posted yet.

donotblink Apr 25, 2026 11:33 am

I’ve been waiting about three days now for Miles to post on an American Airlines flight that I took from Mexico City to JFK. This flight was part of and around the world ticket reservation, and that ticket has been exchanged and modified probably about a dozen times.

TxDucky Apr 25, 2026 2:22 pm

Posted overnight on the fourth night after the flight.
