How long until inside flyer points post to SPG?
 

I bought my magazines last week, the very friendly agent told me my SPG points would post by Tuesday (yesterday). My SPG account still shows no additional points.... how long does this usually take?

I am in the same boat...but am going to assume that there was likely a ton of SPG points to post as a result of Randy's offer and that's what's taking so long. OTOH, I was told that it could take as long as 4-6 weeks (for conservatism's sake)...so I suppose that if you get it done within 2-3 weeks you're on the good end of the stick. Good luck!!

I ordered three weeks ago... and the points posted in six days.

My 10,000 SPG Starwood points posted in 4 days.

Ordered on the 26th.
Nothing yet!

The girls at inside flyer said they were sent to starwood, but its up to them to post them! Give it time, they must be extremely backed up.

Talked to Michelle at Inside Flyer this AM. My points also were suppose to be posted by now. She told me that their SERVER was down!! She did not know when it would be back up. They are incapable of any e mails now. I was a bit suprised and will keep on checking on the SPG board to see when the miles post

I've ordered in several batches and each batch of points has taken a minimum of 10-14 days to post to SPG. BTW, the time for the points to get from SPG to AA was quite a bit longer.

But certainly no "GoldPoints-style" complaints about this promotion on my end. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Mine posted within a week.

My first order posted in two weeks. For the second order, its almost 18 days and it has not posted yet/

I ordered 3/26 and no post yet. Beat that.

My situation is more complex. I placed
two orders in rapid succession, which posted
with 10 days. After reading further of the
uses of the miles I placed another one (now 3).

Then, I found other ways to use additional miles and then really stepped it up to 22 (not normally a large transaction for me, but I forgot-didn't remember-the large aquisition of equipment for the business was about to post on the same card.

Let me say this...AMEX is wierd, which only compicated things for me. (those who have a biz AMEX and unusually large expeditures in any given month, multiplied by $1300 or so of mail order/internet subscriptions can profess.)All within the same billing cycle.

So, I called AMEX back and got a nice CSR
in Future Spending (embarassing) Department,
who said the charge was referred (not declined)and no real reason for this was available.

But, the CSR did say that a charge like this, and it's
subsequent "referral",considering my prior monthly purchases, was not uncommon.

Coupled with the fact that IF's mail servers were down. I can only say, it may take a while to figure all of this out.

So, 25 x 2500 = 62,500 + 15,000= 72,500
or in Quantas miles =ya da ya da....
I am too tired, take from here boys (and girls!)
