How long to Post to Delta?

I don't see this listed anywhere via search, but I am sure someone has the answer. I am used to renting from Hertz, but recently switched to Avis..

How long does it typically take for miles from Avis to Post to FF programs (I am interested in Delta). I have had 3 rentals so far, as none have posted to Delta (one is almost a month old). My FF Number is clearly printed on the receipt and these are all Airport locations.

Thanks for the help!

I had all of my July trips post within 3 weeks.

My last few rentals took:
13 days
6 days
8 days
10 days
7 days
7 days
8 days
8 days
8 days
10 days
14 days
13 days
12 days
10 days


Actually, in reviewing my statement, I think that Avis posts to Delta only on certain days of the month: 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th

I switched from Hertz for a few weeks too to get those MQM's.

I have seen the miles post in as little as five days or as long as twenty-five. A month is pushing it! By the way, it's possible--maybe a stretch with Avis, but possible--that one or more of the airport locations don't participate in this program.

By the way, I hope you have more luck that I did. I found Avis to be a real mess.

My MQMs posted right away (within about 48 hours), but my actual 100 points or whatever from the rentals haven't posted.

On the very first rental, the 100 miles posted first. For all the rest, I saw the MQM's before the bonus mileage appeared. I only receive 100 miles once; for all the others, I got 1,000 miles.

Switching from Avis

Only after having to fax numerous receipts (which I printed off of Avis.com) to prove they FF# was on the rental have I been able to get any mileage credit to post to DL. I was after the MQM's and none of those have posted. Since it's only 4k, and I won't need them to requalify for Platinum next year --- to heck with it.

I've decided, based on numerous negative experiences with no cars ready, dirty cars, hidden surcharges, not getting FF credit without a fight, etc., it's time to move on to Hertz.

It being the 24th, my rentals from last week posted today. I did not get the 1000/1000/1000, but believe that is tied up in program issues that caused excess credit for some renters. I'll expect those miles and MQMs to post once all the issues are resolved. I did not get credit for the rental I'm driving or the one I turned in yesterday. Probably 9/3 for those.
