Flights were April 9.

LP received ticket receipt and boarding passes on April 12. (LP number was printed on both boarding passes.)

LP posted flights manually to my account on June 19.

In other words, way too long.

I'm still waiting on TW for fullfare flights taken early April. LP number is on both boarding passes. My fingers are crossed.

Also still waiting for Aeropostal, but considering the handwritten boarding passes used, I'm prepared for a long wait.

Some Thrifty rentals didn't post either. When I called Thrifty, they pulled up the record and saw that the LP# was entered incorrectly and fixed it. I called Latinpass, explained the situation, and they said I could fax the rental agreements to them. Time will tell...

All LP folks have been very helpful, and I don't doubt that I'll get the credit, I just wonder how long it'll take to post.

HELL FREEZES OVER AS UPGRADEME ACHIEVES HALF-MILLIONAIRE STATUS!

After more than two months of whining and pleading I might add.

Now to get those points transferred to HHonors before LP goes Chapter 11.

Upgrade Me,

Did they give an estimate on how long points would take to transfer to HHonors?

I did my million-mile run May 31st-Jun 5th, and called LP today to see what posted. To my pleasant surprise all 10 of the LP flights posted! However, none of the US flights, Avis or hotels have hit yet.

I faxed a letter request to transfer 2/3 of the miles to HHonors in one big chunk, or a bunch of little chunks if required. (Rumor at one time was that they could only transfer 30k at a time, or something like that.) I've left enough miles in my account to cover two C tickets to Europe, and if LP goes under, I figure I will have rescued 2/3 of the miles.

My letter asked that I be informed if the transfer(s) would not be completed by July 15. (I don't need the points by any specific date, I just don't want them taking six months to do it.)

I'm planning to call after July 4 to check on the status of the transfer. I'll post an update when I know more.

Boy am I close.
ALL of my flights, hotels and cars have posted.
1 problem...LP posted a LACSA flight as a TACA flight.
I wonder how long it's going to take to look at the boarding pass and correctly post the flight...then how long will the bonus miles take?

from some of these posts it seems people are worried that their flights etc. won't post by 7/1. I thought one had to complete the requirements by 7/1 and it can post anytime in order for it to count. Did I miss something??

Did anyone have their Aces segments post automatically? Just need them plus one missing Hilton stay to qualify. Mailed in the Aces segments anyway but was just hoping I wouldn't have to wait for LP to post them...

I think that we just want to make sure there were no problems along the way.
A friend of mine did the full promo and had a problem with the class of one of his flights. He had to go back and retake the flight in a new class last week.

Miletex:

My Aces segment(s) posted automatically, and fairly quickly. I just need them to give me credit for SAETA on one of them as I took VX520 from LIM-UIO-BOG.

Rhinochaser - You did have two flight coupons - Yes?

My Aces flights posted really fast, too-- they were on about a week or 10 days after the flight. Everytime I reviewed my credits with a LatinPass rep, they automatically read it as "two Aces flights, one that counts as SAETA...." so you shouldn't have to explain it.

I have heard time and again from different LP reps that flights, hotels, and car rentals only need to be completed by July 1-- of course the faster they post, the sooner you get miles, but they don't need to be on the account by July 1.

After I visited the LP office, and the more I talk with them, the more I have confidence that they will make good on the promotion-- consider that at 35,000 miles per US-Central America round trip, with 300 "millionaires", that's the equivalent of 9000 trips-- spread across 10 airlines, that's 900 trips per airline, or about 6 full A-320 round trip flights. Considering the publicity they're getting as having the best FF promotion of the Millenium, that's a small price to pay.

I checked with LatinPass this afternoon. All my hotel stays and car rentals have posted. However, I am still waiting on VX, CM, and VH. AV, LR, and TA posted within 2 weeks. TW posted after 5 weeks. I'll wait 2 more weeks. If the other 3 airlines haven't posted, I will send my original receipt and boarding passes.

My million miles posted this week!! The last flight segment for the 10 flights occurred on Apr 15th. The hotels and cars were done prior to April 15th.
