A recent 6 figure transfer took a couple of days, and these account have been linked for probably more than 10 years. It was low 6 figures (well under 200k) so I'm not sure it's size-dependent.

Unfortunately, for some of us it is, and neither Chase or United will provide an explanation as to the reason behind the delay.

(Although, the one time I called to ask why it was taking so long, a few months ago, I was told that the reason was a system malfunction or update or something. The agent didn't just offer this immediately; he did so after putting me on hold and presumably checking with someone else, so at least he probably didn't just make it up. No telling whether the person he talked to just made it up, of course...)

For our managed accounts, they have been taking as long as c. 48 hours a lot as of late. It’s gotten to be enough of an issue — we can’t even count on 24 hour turns — that we’ve gone heavier into last minute purchases of AV miles to book what we were wanting to book with UA miles this month. There is no way I’m going to preemptively pad up a lot on UA miles at the expense of Chase UR points.

IMO it remains unpredictable and inscrutable. I recently transferred 21K points that landed instantly—and that was my first transfer in a while, so I was entirely prepared for the Chase gatekeepers/algorithm/phase of the moon to view it with greater suspicion & slap on a delay of a day or two.

When do I start panicking? Transfer initiated June 14.. 5 calendar days later, no sign of the miles in my account.
I guess it's as bad as 7 business days??
Ridiculous.
Update: miles posted June 20. 6 days - lame.

Do you have any personal current account deposits at Chase banks? I am curious if there is a pattern of Chase current account depositors doing better on average with these transfer times than non-Chase depositors.

No, I do both my personal and business banking with Chase and have a whole lot of bank accounts with them and have still experienced these frustrating transfer delays to United.

Yes, I have had personal accounts at Chase for a very long time.

One more data point: I linked my united account to my chase account today, and the first transfer of 1000 points was done instantly,. The second transfer of ~200k points has been pending for couple of hours. I talked with a Chase customer service and there nothing they can do. FWIW, I have active personal and business accounts with Chase for 5+ years. Let's see how long it would take to deposit.
