How long does it take to credit Qpoints on a RTW ticket?

Following the recent changes to the BAEC I changed my FFP from BA to QR on a RTW trip we are presently on. Our first three flights were with QR and posted whilst we were in the air, our 4th flight was with QF on the 23rd January and the Qpoints have not yet appeared. Typically how long does it take for Qpoints to appear for none QR flights?

EDIT: Am travelling with my wife and her points are being credit to her BA account and the QF Tier Points seem to have been credited on the same day.

There's no clear, singular answer to that, depends on a number of things, including the carrier that operated your flight, the marketing carrier, etc.

There is nothing special about a RTW ticket vs a normal ticket, so this would be the same length of time as the normal carrier posting as far as I am aware and as I have experienced myself.

QR seems to have been really focused on posting miles ASAP, however BAEC never seems in much of a hurry and it can take up to a week. See here an article that mentions one of the reasons QR posts their miles so quickly - so you can spend them in Doha during your transit! https://www.headforpoints.com/2024/0...ional-airport/

In your scenario with QF, well they are being sent to different programs - I have a feeling some airlines just do a batch of flights to credit once a week or similar, so it may have been coincidence that made them post more quickly. In my experience BAEC is one of the slowest at even posting their own flights.
