AMEX MR transfer time
It seems from most comments that the transfer or Amex MR points to Skyrewards is almost instant. I transferred points to book my outbound flight and found they showed up as soon as I was able to log in and look.
Now I want to transfer points to book the return and did it from the AMEX site this afternoon, but nothing has shown up in my Skyrewards account. Has anyone else seen this type of delay? Have you had to do anything about it to resolve the issue? I know AMEX says it can take up to 48 hrs, and I am wondering if I should do something proactive, although I am not sure what action I can take.

It did show up this morning. Not sure why it took longer than prior transfer experiences, but it was all there this morning.

As ridiculous as this may sound, the only times there have ever been a delay for me were when I transferred on weekend (in UAE).
