FF programs to which you can transfer MR points within 24 hours? (ie. Delta Skymiles)
FTers,
Does anybody know any FF programs other than Delta Skymiles to which transfers from MR take place within 24 hours? With Delta it virtually instant.
I often end up booking award tickets via Delta only because I can transfer my points there quickly if I find availability. I'm wondering which other airlines it would also be reasonable to check.
Thanks
Ron

CO and Aeroplan also transfer instantly and I've actually done the transfer while on the phone with the respective airline making reward reservations.
As far as airlines that definetly do not transfer immediately, ANA is the only one that I am sure will not, even for Centurion-linked cards. I tried to have AMEX push the transfer through and they refused.

My experience is the same-
Delta , Virgin and Hawaiian are almost instantaneous.
Air France is the tough one. They won't hold a reservation until the miles are in your account and it takes several days at best.
I have no idea why.

they dont want to deal with people who have to transfer miles first, i can KIND of understand, but i would think it would be smarter to just restrict hotel/etc people and green/gold cardholders and not plat/cent cardholders.

On the offchance you mean why the transfer is not instantaneous I point out that Flying Blue recently joined the USA version of Membership Rewards and IT takes time.
