how long to convert CC points to miles

I need to top up my account and can choose between DBS points or Standard Chartered points. In the past, I've used HSBC points and those transfers only took one week. Does anyone know how long it takes for DBS and/or SC? Cheers

Basically, DBS = 3 to 4 biz days, Citibank / SCB = 1 week, normally DBS notification letter comes way after the conversion is done

Another point - there is no need to transfer Asia Miles unless you have to issue tickets because Citi points do not expire.

Same do DBS Black

Anyway I burn miles fast enough so auto-transfering to Asiamiles is OK ...
