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

My Recent transaction for your reference

Code:
過賬日期  	交易日期  	項目
你在以下期間內的交易記錄︰ (01 May 2009 - 31 Jul 2009)
26 Jun 2009 	20 Jun 2009 	Citibank Hong Kong
13 Jun 2009 	10 Jun 2009 	DBS Hong Kong
12 Jun 2009 	04 Jun 2009 	Standard Chartered Bank
22 May 2009 	20 May 2009 	Citibank Hong Kong
06 May 2009  	29 Apr 2009  	 DBS Hong Kong
24 Apr 2009 	20 Apr 2009 	Citibank Hong Kong
27 Mar 2009 	20 Mar 2009 	Citibank Hong Kong
07 Mar 2009 	04 Mar 2009 	DBS Hong Kong
28 Feb 2009 	20 Feb 2009 	Citibank Hong Kong
07 Feb 2009 	04 Feb 2009 	DBS Hong Kong
07 Feb 2009 	04 Feb 2009 	DBS Hong Kong
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 ...
