Edit: requested at 15:00 and arrived next day at 01:00

Chase UR ~12 hours (1030am ---> 1030pm).

Unfortunately the flights I was looking to grab are gone but still have 22 more days before devaluation to hopefully snag something on one of the days that opens up

Similar experience, redeemed on Mar 1 & posted sometime between 36-48 hours later (Mar 3 when I checked)

I guess SIN based travelers like us are quickly transferring our points to SQ KF in anticipation of the "Changes to Flight Redemption" & redeeming before Mar 23. But the latest redemption period from now till 355 days later will be smack in the middle of Feb. 2018 which is the peak travel period of CNY (Chinese New Year). Redemption during this period for (Biz) Saver awards is extremely difficult to find.

So for those who are planning to transfer from UOB Rewards -> SQ KF, I think you still have some time to whack more spend on your cards before you transfer
