I'mm still waiting as well. Initiated a MR transfer to SQ on the 7th. So far it has not shown up on my account and still shows pending on the MR website. It has now been 48 hours??? We will see how long this takes.

Mine took over 24 hours but less than 48 hours. I believe the delay for me was because I did the transfer on the weekend. I have had that issue before with SQ. However, the points posted once it was monday in Singapore even though it was still the weekend here. They do these transfers in batches. In the past I have had it take 3 days, but it seems they have gotten faster with it. Its annoying though when you are trying to finalize things!

My hilton transfer was not immediate. Has been 4 hours now. Is this common? I did just link them as a transfer partner before transferring, would that be a reason for the delay?

I transferred few times in the past couple of weeks MR-KF (in the chunk of 50K, 86k and 30K+) and mine always posted within 24 hours. I usually do the transfers during a weekday and I think by the night (Singapore day time), I was able to see the miles in my SQ account.

Ugh. I should have checked here first. I just moved MR points to ANA thinking that it would be instantaneous. I hope that ANA award is still there in a few days.

Transfer to ANA took two business days. I'm happy to report the award was still available and I grabbed it.

150,000 miles for F roundtrip, SFO-NRT. Sweet deal, I say. I'd pay $4,500 for that ticket, so this is like getting 3 cents/MR point.

Wow an even better deal -- thanks, I'll keep that in mind next time. I doubt it would have worked for me with this. The F award was showing up on ANA's inventory but not United's. I don't know, but I'm guessing that means it was also unavailable on Virgin Atlantic's inventory.

Regardless, I have VS miles and I'll take care going forward to search for awards on their site.

Also just did a transfer from mr to emirates today and the transfer was instant, despite the amex website saying "up to 2 days".

I tried transferring 11K miles today and it definitely wasn't immediate. It's only been an hour though so will keep checking.
