Time to get points from group/event booking?

This is new for me.

How long does it normally take to get points from a group/event booking?

A wedding we organized had the block in our name, and they claimed 4-6 weeks. We're going on eight with no signs of points...

I do a lot of events/meetings for my team. Mostly smaller rooms/board rooms with small F&B. I usually give my admin the points but when I use my bonvoy number they take months (sometimes 4+ months to post). I just had one post from Feb.

Here is an example of the email you'll get

Thank you for your kindness. Literally hours after I posted this, it... posted.

(there was a bug in Bonvoy in which it considered the reservation "cancelled" the first day of the booking - May 11... odd)
