Well, I woke up this morning with a grand surprise. Lan Chile Miles flooded my account. Lots and lots of them, both from flights that I disputed 3 months ago and from the ones taken a few days ago and last week. Maybe, just maybe, they got the systems to recognize each other? I will be cautiously optimistic for now, but if any of you fly them coming up, can you post when the miles hit your account? See if I was a freakish oddity or if the problem is getting solved.

Thanks

will be on them 8/2 scl-cor, will let all know when the mi's post. need it for 19th 20/20 partner. flew ei on 7/23, got back 7/31, mi's had posted, don't remember what day.

Thanks, clacko. I assume this is a one class flight, but many (including me) have had many problems in the past with LA miles posting. Especially in F. Thank you, though, for letting us know. I hate to admit that their not posting my miles actually affected my decision to use them on my second trip (much to my dismay), and I want a reason not to do that again. AA has given me enough reason by itself, but having those miles post in a reasonable amount of time would really help in instilling confidence in me. I can't believe that I am alone on this, either.

got back 8/6 from cor. the aa flt on 8/1 dfw-scl has posted , lan flt on 8/2 has not. aa # printed on boarding pass. i will watch for lan posting & post info in a reply.

This would be great news if Lan Chile has fixed these mileage posting issues. clacko, please let us know if the flight posts!!

Clacko, please also post what class you were in.

i was in y class per aaboard pass. plane was all coach. meals were pretty good. on return boarding pass is l class. according to fare on receipt, the la was same price both way - so prob l class on 1st rather trhan y. dfw-scl-dfw was n class & was upgraded on vipow's. admirals club in scl is fabulous. only prob was no glenlivet. had a 2.75 hr layover in scl on return. no post since earlier response today. i really don't expect anything for a week or so. the aer lingus posting in 1 week [memtioned above] really surprised me. will be home until 8/19. then out of contact til 9/7 unless ms amsterdam has internet. haven't bothered to ask- not completely addicted yet.

8/2 scl-cor posted 411 mi + 589 bonus. return on 8/5 also posted. both happened early today. it is about 5am cdt now. looks like the probs are fixed. thanks for paving the way, darren. i now have 19 partners posted! just ordered # 20. admirals club in scl is very nice & on a par w/ most business lounges for snacks & drinks. it has an attractive decor, unlike the sterile look of ac's here.

My A fare Lan Chile flights on 08/05 and 08/06 have posted already... Must be a record for them to be posted in 2 days...

from personal experience & posts , it appears that tues nites & sun am,s are posting times for aa. my scl-dfw also posted last nite. maybe aa holds partner tx,s til tues[actually wed am] to post.

Thanks Terence and Clacko. This is exciting news.
