Idine miles posting faster?

Dined in Hawaii 2/07/03, miles posted to AA account 2/20/03. FAST!!!!
I thought Idine ran batches at month end & miles posted to airline account the following month. Did I miss a post on this?
If anyone is in need of quick miles, this might be their answer.

But sometimes they don't post at all. I waited about a month on one, before emailing them the receipt. A week ago I got an email saying it would post in a few days, but still nothing.

I was amazed as well. Never have I gotten miles within the month of dining. Two restaurants showed up. We'll see if the couple after that show up.

I have to concur. I dined at a restaurant on 12/20 and the miles showed up on 12/26 or so. Not even a week later.
Nice Christmas present.

I think they do post monthly, like clockwork, towards the end of the month which might explain the rapid postings. They are running this much smoother than the early days where they took longer to post. All of mine have posted more consistently than they used to. The only one that did not post quickly was actually Continental's fault, but when I called CO, they fixed it and the miles were there the next day.

My experiences with Delta show that my miles usually post in the 1st week of the month following activity. I'm expecting my February dining miles to post around March 4-6.

Posting to my British Airways account has been erratic. My mid January visit has still not posted.

On Feb. 21 I finally got a 500-mile bonus for taking my acct. online & dining during Nov./Dec . I had complained about the missing bonus in late Jan., but no one at Idine nor UA had a clue what I was talking about . They told me to remember the promo name/code next time so they could look it up.

I presume you are talking only about the email notification from idine. My experience with Delta/NW idine programs had been that the miles actually get reflected to your account only in the first week of the next month. I also notice a couple of times that if you dine on orafter the 30th of a month, it does not get added in the next month. Yo need to wait one more month.

Don't know anything about email notification.
Miles posted to my AA account on 2/20 after dining on 2/7. In the past they have always posted in the month following my idine visit.

I'm surprised to hear this. My Idine from 1/7 just posted last week to CO. Definitely not faster.

I've got 3 JAN iDine transactions (as shown on the iDine website). They still haven't posted to CO. I guess that they'll eventually make it.
