Hello, I had 2 flights with Qatar last month in April2019:
(1) April 12 HKG-DOH-MUC
(2) April 21 VIE-DOH-HKG
For (1), I got Asiamiles on April 16 Tuesday. Only 4 days after my flight [And not exactly Thursday as many members said here].
For (2), I got Asiamiles on May 2 Thursday. That is 11 days after my flight [And it is exactly Thursday this time].
All my flights are operated by QR metal.
Hope this helps!!

An update to the crediting of my flights:
I flew
1. HKG/DOH on Friday Jun 7th
2. DOH/HEL on Friday Jun 7th
3. HEL/DOH on Saturday Jun 15th
4. DOH/HKG on Sunday Jun 16th
The HKG/DOH and DOH/HEL flights got credited (both club points and mileage) yesterday on Jun 19th, so I guess the Thursday theory still works.

Data Point:
6/18 & 6/19 on QR LAX-DOH-SIN, Club points and miles got credited on 6/28
6/26 on QR SIN-DOH-LAX, still not credited at this moment. --> Need this to upgrade to DM by the end of July
It is a little bit annoyed tbh...

Looks like there's a new pattern...
I had flights from 7/19 & 7/24 post on August 5th, and flights from 9/8 post on August 26th.
On the first one, I sent in my boarding passes / retro claim form after waiting two weeks, as I wanted to do an early reset after hitting 1600 tps (no use for CX Gold partner card since my partner is BA Emerald), and didn't want to lose other flights for next year re-qualification, but they posted within 24 hours of that automatically.
Interestingly enough, for the same flights on 9/8 with QR which was a Friday, my partners posted to his BA account on the following Thursday (August 15th), but mine came into CX on Monday the 26th. Earlier in the year, the following Thursday pattern used to hold good, but not any more with CX.
I have a few more QR flights coming up over the next month, so I will be sure to share results on those as well.

My recent HK-DOH and DOH-MAN flights credited on a Monday, 10 days after the flight. My return flights have not showed up yet (1 week so far).

Always very slow in my experience, but in the end they were credited without me sending the claim forms. The (longest) record was 21 days (between Hong Kong & a less-known African country though).

Recent datapoint: Flew Sep. 27; credited to MPO/Asiamiles the following Thursday. Return flight Oct 6, credited to MPO/Asiamiles within 2-3 days.
Was hoping for delayed credit as my GO year was until end-Sep and I had already qualified for renewal; in the end it worked out, although I was surprised that the return flight was credited so quickly.
