How long has it taken you to have purchases made via MyPoints at buy.com to post? Just want to know when to start hassling them.
Thanks.
Thanks.

You can't start hassling them until 20 business days pass.
.
Seriously, I have found that if the points don't post within one week of the item being shipped chances are it's not going to post automatically.
I'm running at about 50% auto posting. Right now I have 2 purchases made over 2 weeks ago that I haven't gotten the points. So, I now have to keep a list of who I order from so that I can harrass them for the points.
But, they have changed their policy. They get back to you much sooner, and the points are made available within a few days. Previously, you still had to wait 30 days for manually posted points to be available.
While their service has gotten better lately, it's still a major pain to have to keep track of purchases (& I buy a good deal through them).

I've made several purchases from buy.com and the points have never failed to post by themselves. But knowing how quirky MyPoints can be, this is certainly no indication of what others' (or your) experience might be!
