Slow posting of flights
Anyone experiencing slow posting of flights recently? In recent history, flights seem to post pretty quickly (I'd even seen a prior segment post when I was on the second leg), but I had two flights Thursday that haven't posted two days later. No big deal but I'm surprised they haven't posted yet.

Yeah, I noticed that with my flights in March. They took close to 48 hours to post. I was affected by irrops and had to switch flights so I was assuming that may have had something to do with it.

Most of my miles have posted pretty quickly, but there are a couple of itineraries that I've had that are particularly complex that have taken longer to post, mostly around the world reservation flights.

Update - flew two segments Thursday, it's Sunday and they still haven't posted (as well as the 5k flight streak LP bonus that's triggered & 1k LP bonus for 2 segments). Not critical but it's just one more thing to track & make sure happens...

Added: called EXP desk and they connected me with the Advantage Desk - turns out the flights are in their system showing posting of miles "pending" - why "pending" when the flights were flown 4 days ago? BTW - they told me that miles should post within 1-3 days. Again, not the end of the world but a little irritating at best.

Well, it's been a week since we flew 2 segments and neither has posted. We're mice in a wheel of AA's construction, at least they can show us the cheese we earned. 🧀🥴
