It took 10 days for the points to be credited as miles at DL. I initiated the transfer on 07/13/13 and they showed up yesterday 07/23/13. A blogger intitiated their transfer on 07/11/13 and also received their points on 07/23/13, so it might be a "day of the week thing" when points get transferred by Choice.

My HHonors (daily rewards) points took almost a month. Could not believe it. Wrote and they said they could not access AMEX accounts. Totally did not understand my question of why so long! But it was a good price, can't deny that.

To answer my own question:
It took 10 days for the points to be credited as miles at DL. I initiated the transfer on 07/13/13 and they showed up yesterday 07/23/13. A blogger intitiated their transfer on 07/11/13 and also received their points on 07/23/13, so it might be a "day of the week thing" when points get transferred by Choice.

I requested a transfer of 1800 points to WN on 07/22/13. They still haven't posted. My guess is since I requested it a day before yours and a blogger's posted, my request didn't get processed in time for the 07/23/13 batch (I would guess that Choice probably processed them a day or two before and it took DL a little time to post the miles on their end, but that's just a guess).
Anyway, hopefully the points will post soon. Last time I transferred it took ~1 week, this time it's already been 3 weeks and counting!

Yes Choice participated in 2017. My notes show 20K points were $90 and there were 208 packages available, 32K = $132. with 310 available, 36K = $155. with 308 available and 40K = $160. with 204 available. Hopefully my notes are correct. And hopefully they will have as many packages available (for the same or less $).

That’s as much as a c. 25% hike in the price per point purchased this way?

The price last year was 4$ per 1000 pts
Now is close to 5$ per 1000 pts
And they are running all the time sales where you can buy points for 7.7$ per 1000 pts.
And keep in mind that they can decide at any given moment to increase the cost for a reward night,
so keeping a big amounts of choice points it is not advisable.

but Choice haven't increase award for many years right? I think they don't have a award chart so they may just change category quietly nobody will notice 
I bought few in the last few years, most of them not used only use 1-2 in Italy, but with this year near 10X more package I'm still debating should buy or not, this year I think will be pretty easy to buy with the last few years just sold in seconds.
