How long does it take for the miles to post?

I was 400 miles short of DM and I flew SLC-DEN yesterday evening but it hasn't showed up on my account yet. Anyhow, how long does it usually take for the miles to post? 24 hours?

I've noticed if you fly before 1 p.m. Eastern, it often posts that evening, around 11 p.m. Eastern.

If you fly after that time, it doesn't hit until the next day's batch.

You should see the SLC-DEN miles post tonight, but every now and then it might take an extra batch to process. (happened on a recent MIA-MCO flight of mine).

Friday night flights seem to be in my account when I login the next morning. But Sunday flights don't post until late Monday. Website says "up to 24 hours" so I guess both are within the guidelines.

Sorry to hear that. AF and KL can definitely be a pain sometimes.
