Citi TY: Initiated miles transfer yesterday 11/5 at 7PM PT.

Will update when transfer gets posted on KF account. Really anxious since I see suite availability now for my desired date/route, but who knows if someone will take it between now and then! Hopefully it posts within the 1-2 day timeframe.

Update -- Miles posted the following morning at 11/6 by 1AM PT, so a total of about 30 hours between requesting the transfer and posting in KF account.

Chase UR: Transferred 11/5 at 9PM CT, miles in there 11/7 8AM. Took longer than I thought it would, but maybe it's because it was my first time transferring to Krisflyer.

And I am still waiting for the miles to be credited.
Did a conversion from UNI$ to KF earlier this year, and it posted within 2-3 days.

I think you should call them.

Something doesn't seem right. My transfer from last week has not posted as well

I called UOB last Fri and was told the miles would take 14-21 days to be posted, and the system showed as success.

I should have further confirmed my KF number with them. But I thought that I had a successful conversion a few months back, so this shouldn't be a problem.

Perhaps I should call Krisflyer direct to see if there is any clue.

Same here.. I had it processed on the 9th nov and it still hasn't posted on my KF account... Called in and was told 14-21 days..

I find UOB's KF processing to be the most backdated. The other CC can allow me to key in my KF online or via phone (I think) but UOB has to mail me a form, fill it in and post it back!! Seriously?! Post?! Totally not impressed with this ancient form of application plus the fact it takes ages to transfer.

Unfortunately same as DBS for the initial application. But I remember it didn't take very long for DBS to process it.

But only to link the SQ KF account to your UOB card account first time around, right? Subsequent transfers can be done on the phone or online

Yes that's what I meant..I only recently gathered enough points to make a decent transfer and I was shocked that I needed to fill in a form to register my KF account with my card..

May I also add that to convert SHELL ESCAPE points to KF miles used to be quite fast (a few days) but I just recently converted some points to KF miles and it has taken more than month and I'm still not seeing it credited into my account. Emailed them and got a standard reply of "blah blah blah...takes xx days to transfer"... Sheesh
