I flew AS last week and gave them my AA number. How long will it take for the miles to post to my AA account. It has been 6 days so far which is longer then AA take to post.

Don't worry. My miles from a couple of Alaska flights showed up in my account around 10 days later without any need for intervention on my part.

A week or less usually. If booked as codeshare even less maybe.

Not to beat a dead horse as the saying goes, but to reinforce, I've never had my miles post later than 2 weeks.

Usually, it's a week or less.
It's been more than 2 weeks for me once - and it was my EXP qualifying flight in mid-december - where it took 4 weeks to post.
Fax in your boarding passes after 2 weeks, but most likely, the miles will have posted by then.

For another data point, its also about a week for me. As for going from SEA to DFW by dogsled, I think there's also a stop in Anchorage.

2-3 weeks for me, ironically from flying AA metal on an AS codeshare.

Flew Alaska from ORD to SEA, when will my AA Advantage miles post
Hi, I flew on Alaska from ORD to Seattle a few weeks ago. How long does it typically take for AA to post these miles to my Advantage account?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I asked the same question a week or so ago. It took 8 days from the flight to post. I flew on a Thursday and it posted 8 days later on Friday.

... and if your miles don't post, I've always found that following the procedures outlined on aa.com for missing miles is much more effective than posting on FT.

Did your BP have your AA number on it?
Did you keep it?

How long for AS flights to be posted to AAdvantage account?
Flew on AS on May 9. Does it take that long to post to my account or should I start claiming?

I think my last AS flight was on a Friday, and the miles posted to my AA account on the Tuesday. YMMV.
