How long for iDine miles to post?
I just discovered iDine/Rewards network and at the same time discovered that my BA miles were about to expire in Sept.
So, off I join and did my 1st one. I got the notice from rewards network however its not showing up on BA yet.
I'm getting concerned as my miles are about to expire and I really don't want to have to resort to buying miles to extend. I realize that BA will be discountinuing soon but i thought that was a quick/cheap way to extend my miles on BA.

Miles usually post within a few days to idine ^, and they show up as "pending" on your idine account. However, they are then transferred to the airline's FFP - but this usually happens only once a month! 
(And there is no "specific day" for all airlines!)

Both my BA and AA miles have usually posted within 10 days. Nearly always posting before I get the notification email.
I would call IDine down in Florida and ask what is going on. They are very helpful.

BTW, it was 8/16 when i ate at the restaurant.
I got an email from rewards network on 8/22 that I've earned benefits - "pending"
Checked my acct on ba.rewards.network - still pending.
I just checked BA 8/28 - no miles posted

Dine on 8/22 @ 8 p.m. CST (Wednesday)
E-Mail confirm on 8/27 (Monday)
Posted to AA.com by 8 a.m. CST on 8/29 (Wednesday) - (could have posted 8/28 but didn't check)
So within 1 week of dining it posted. I also believe it COULD vary by restaurants, depending on how they report the dines to RN. Some I know have taken longer... some restaurants mysteriously never seem to post and I have to call.
