Well in the UK they ride around in cars with tyres, so that's not too surprising.

Citi PM Visa --> 48 hours since I put in the transfer request and still nothing in KF. Strange.

[edit] Miles were in the account at night yesterday. So around 53-ish (?) hours.

Citi used to be overnight for me but I notice in recent months since they converted to the Thank You points portal, it's been taking a day or two longer...

Was overnight back at the end of April. Transferred out of Citi TY on Friday afternoon Eastern, was in KF by Saturday morning Eastern.

Did another transfer from Citi TY at MAY 24 2:40PM Eastern. Was not reflected around 11PM that evening. However, it did show up sometime between then and 7AM Eastern next morning.

SPG to Krisflyer took about 5 days

Hello all,

I transferred some SPG Starpoints to Krisflyer on June 1 in the morning. Krisflyer showed my points deposited on the evening of the 5th. About 4.5 days transfer time.

But, strangely, in Krisflyer, when I look at account activity, it shows a transfer date of June 1. Don't know what to make of this.
