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?

Usually within a few weeks, but it's taken longer for me. Hold onto/screenshot a copy of your BP in case you have to submit it for credit.

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.

Flew Tuesday, was posted by Friday. Am still waiting for my Saturday return to post.

This.

Mine always post within 24 hours after requesting the credit. When left to "age", the results are unpredictable at best.

And.... still waiting for Saturday LHR-JFK to post.

I flew on a Virgin ticket JFK-LHR-JFK but on DL Metal flights. Miles posted within a day or so

For my DL coded, VS operated, outbound 5 days and return 3 days to post

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.

For me, VS flight number posts within 5-7 says. DL code share flight number on VS posts 3-5 days.

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

I have a couple VS flights in early Nov... will try to report back on the post time. Those are VS ticket & flight number.

I can only speak for the DL-marketed/VS-operated version, but 3-5 days is my experience there also. However, OP will also experience the delay in the LHR-DEL flight, so there's an outside chance that ATL-LHR will post after LHR-DEL is flown, but since it will still post before LHR-DEL, the system will still have time to upgrade OP to DM and apply the extra bonus to LHR-DEL.

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