How long for miles to post from Virgin Atlantic?
So I recall Virgin Australia miles posted within 2-3 days but how about Virgin Atlantic?

I usually submit for credit the day after the flight and it posts within 24 hours, as in the past it normally took 5-7 days.

Any newer data points on this? I am flying on 12/21 ATL-LHR, then on 12/24, LHR-DEL. The ATL-LHR leg will get me over the hump to Diamond and I'd like to earn the bonus for the LHR-DEL leg. If that won't happen, should I be Diamond by 12/31 for my return flights, DEL-LHR and LHR-ATL?
My tickets were bought on VS's website and all flights on my itinerary are VS coded.

I've got some flights at the end of November and will try to remember to post about this then!

I've no idea whether DL's systems are smart enough to figure all that out, but...there's a chance.
