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

If that's the case then it doesn't make any sense to redeem now.
The only worry is the change in UNI$/OCBC$/CitiDollars/(insert whichever bank which can convert to KF) to KF points ratio.

Sadly, this devaluation seems to screw over Sin-based SQ flyers. When I was living in the US, it was so much easier to get KF points via credit card sign-ups. Back in SIN, the earning rates are nothing short of abysmal. I'd rather pay more taxes than use more miles/points.

Delay in Citi Thank-you Points posting?
Requested transfer from of Citi Thank-you Points Friday March 17 at 8:20 PM Eastern time.
Still not posted today, Monday March 20 as of 6PM Eastern time.
I am getting a little worried since devaluation is coming Thursday and had a flight we wanted to book.
Is anyone having a similar issue? Any way to check this out/and or expedite it if they haven't posted by tomorrow morning?

Called NYC phone number last night around 9:30 PM and spoke to an agent in Singapore.
Miles not posted by 11:00 PM
Woke up this morning at 6:30 AM and miles had posted.
(Will never know if they would have posted anyway or if calling made the difference.)

I'm the opposite ..

But just for the heck of it & a bit of nostalgia of the much cherished yet soon to be gone 15% online discount, I redeemed a (round trip) Biz saver tix for late Feb/Mar '17 (KUL)-SIN-MAN-IAH as it is the farthest point from SEA so that I can truly & slowly savor every bit of the J class experience on SQ
(I don't & won't pay for it so ...)

According to some of the replies from the main devaluation thread, it seems that if you redeem now, and make changes to the ticketed booking after 23 March, you will still be charged the miles difference, but you will not be refunded your YQ.
If that's the case then it doesn't make any sense to redeem now.
The only worry is the change in UNI$/OCBC$/CitiDollars/(insert whichever bank which can convert to KF) to KF points ratio.

Initiated Chase UR transfer 21:45 11 Apr and it was deposited in my KF account at 17:45 12 Apr. About 20 hours.
