How Long for OnePass Miles to Post?
Simple question from a recent DL convert:
How long does it take for OnePass miles to post to your account (from CO flights)?
Do elite bonus miles post at the same time?
Thanks.

You should see the miles within a week, but generally within two or three days. It takes much longer for air partners, though.
When converting from DL, prepare to be very disappointed about Continental's web site, especially when it comes to Onepass stuff. DL is absolutely excellent when it comes to their Skymiles site.

Interesting.
The reason I'm asking is because I wanted to use miles that I'll earn on a Thursday for award travel on Monday (I want to upgrade the return) but I won't have enough miles unless the Thursday miles go through.
Do you think this will be a problem?

Typically, for domestic flights, they post within 48 hours, usually 24 hours. For International flights outbound, I usually have them posted in the same time frame. For retuning flights, add 24 hours. The ELITE BONUSES always post at the same time.
Special bonuses, like the GGONE and GGAMEX bonuses post once a week, usually on Saturday.

Right! Only this evening 3/12 did I get my miles from 3/8-3/9 (international) and the elite bonus was right there with it. Can't wait for the bonus miles, I am setting my alarm for early Sunday morning, oh it's like Christmas! ("On BHML, on SHMO, on CHAH and HHMO!") Now if only I had a Platinum AmEx.
As an update to this - my flight 3/11, return from HKG, posted just now about 48 hours after the landing.

Vulcan, I'm afraid to tell you CO is running 9 days behind (and 12 segments) on my account.

I based my response of the posting times for my EWR-CDG flights 2/22 returning 2/25. I have to admit, though, it really does vary. However I can't remember ever more than 3-4 days for domstic trips. Perhaps the computer is choking at posting all of cigarman's segments 
. If so, wait till it gets to posting his bonus miles

Today, it finally posted 12 segments from 3-3 to 3-11... I have 4 more from that week. I'm thinking about 90,000 bonus miles on Saturday???

CigarMan,
Are you eligible for the AMEX bonuses? If so, are you getting one or many per flight?

I'm eligible. Last time I got both the double and triple. Couldn't tell you this time as my "activity since last statement button" is not functional.

Mine hasn't been functional for over a month either. I've emailed OPCS about it three times. The first two said when it would be fixed (it wasn't) and the last one that was sent yesterday evening, said that it should work now since my account was "reset". It's still not working though... And now when I go to login, it seems to timeout and just sends me back to the same login screen without any errors. Argh!
