I was able to snag 80k Hyatt somehow. Website kept crashing but I refreshed one of the tabs and it asked me for my Hyatt #. Been trying to get in for years, it's a great deal

I expect to see all of my purchased Choice package points post before Halloween, if not even within 10 days or less.

Going back to the 2019 thread(s) about Daily Getaways offerings can be taken as a guide for how long it took previously.

These transactions made using Chase cards come across as this:

Description US TRAVEL ASSOC
Also known as
US TRAVEL ASSOC
Merchant type
Civic, social and fraternal associations
Method
Online, mail or phone
.......
Category
Gifts & donations
Just a bit of background for those trying to figure out which bank card to use when buying these offers.

I just bought some Hilton points. How long does it take for it to show up? The redemption details shows 3-4 weeks. Does it truly take that long?

In prior years, it was done faster. This year may be slower because US Travel Assoc and Hilton aren't what they were during the 2019 Daily Getaways period and the weeks after those sales.

I have been involved in buying a lot of Choice points via the Daily Getaways over several years now -- millions of them quite literally. The last several rounds of these Daily Getaway offers for Choice points took more than just a few hours to get the points to show up in the Choice accounts. It took more like a few days or even up to around two weeks for some. Going back over the last 5 previous rounds of Daily Getaways offers, not even once have I seen the Daily Getaway Choice points post within a few hours.

If someone wants to buy Choice points on the relative cheap but needs them immediately, then the way to do that has generally been to: a) buy them from Choice via points.com (if there is a substantial price discount running); or b) use the points+cash>cancel method online with Choice award night reservations to buy lots of 2000 points at a rate of $15 (or now $18) per lot of 2000 points.

Yeah, it's been a week since I purchased 220k points from this sale and they are still not in my account. Based on my research, this is normal, though it would have been nice if they posted sooner.
Edit: posted to my account after a week.

A purchase of choice points coded as travel and earned 3x membership rewards points on Amex Green.

The points have also posted to choice.com.
