Typically how long for miles to post?
 

Hi, I recently signed up for OnePass program and flew CO for the first time in years. I was wondering how long it usually takes for the flight miles to post? It's been about 5 days now and haven't seen the miles. From my experience, DL, UA, and AA have all usually taken less than 2. Thanks for any info!

Hi glu800. Usually, Continental flights post approximately two days after the qualifying travel. Sometimes it does take a little longer (I had a ewr-sea flight on Thursday that has yet to post to my account yet.) This could be due to the holiday weekend. I usually find that the miles post around noon each day. If you need the miles for some reason, you can call the One Pass Service Center and have them manually process the flight (I think you need your eTicket number for this) and they should post within 24 hours.

Any change in the answer to this given all the merger fun this year?

I had two CO-metal flights two days ago which had my OP number; I am used to UA flights posting to my MP account overnight so was surprised to find no miles yet for those two flights.

UA and *A flights seem to be posting to my OP account a couple days quicker than CO ones. Speaking of mergers, I remember before DL switched over to the NW FF systems, DL miles would post before your flight landed--ancient history now despite being in the world of airlines apps, online upgrade lists, and mobile BPs.

At least 3 days, sometimes months with repeated requests for credit.

My very first CO mile credit (from a partner flight) posted after 5 day of the flight, though it is incorrect. They didn't have the correct calculation for partner flight with COS, not sure how common is it?

Called the elite desk, the agent told me all partner flights are credited as such. Hmmm. Asked her to check with her supervisor, long hold and came back agreed the mile credit given was wrong. It has been 3 weeks now and still not yet been updated.
