If I'm not mistaken, it was posted on the ordering Web site that it would take 6-8 weeks for points to be properly posted. While it seeems that InsideFlyer has done a remarkable job in cutting that down to a few short weeks if not days - I would doubt it fair to make a big deal about this unless it was outside of the posted notice of 6-8 weeks posting time.
Just one person's thoughts on this.

I called then today and they told me that they are telling everybody its 6-8 weeks posting time but that they are doing their best to do this sooner.
By the way, Im not sure that anybody on this thread was throwing a fit about how long it takes... I just think this thread just shows that we all suffer from premature point posting anxiety syndrome...

It would increase my patince a lot if I would understand the process of "posting miles".
OK, my credit card was charged, at least this worked in a couple of days.
I am just wondering why posting miles should take weeks and not just a phonecall, a fax or even an email from "Inside Flyer" to "Starwood". Just a matter of minutes/days in my opinion.
Still, I am trying to be patient...

Guys, remember that what you're buying here are subscriptions to InsideFlyer magazines and the *points are just a BONUS. Nevermind that you may not need the 352 subscriptions that you just ordered, the charges post immediately to the credit card because you immediately start your subscription period.

My second batch posted today---8 days after purchase. The opposite end of the scale from Goldpoints.
BTW, I just today (May 8) got an email newsletter from Radisson telling me of the 8-1 ratio starting May 2. Timely. Thanks to the fine folks on Flyertalk, that news came out before May 1 and I was able to deplete account.
