9 hours from Chase UR
Called KF immediately after transfer and asked to expedite miles due and request was processed. Agent was also able to put a Suites reservation for me on hold while I waited for the miles to show up.

Starwood:
Requested: Sunday 6/18/17 @ 16:00 EST
Wed 6/28/17: called starwood to ask status of transfer; agent told me the transfer went through on Sunday 6/25/17...however nothing showed up on my krisflyer account;
called krisflyer right away who informed me that it can take up to 6-8 weeks (!!) after the transfer is completed from starwood. I asked if this could be expedited since I had an award ticket with a *A portion on hold. He said he could help me but needed the transaction ID.
Called starwood back (since they don't give transaction ID in email confirmation), got the transaction ID, and called back krisflyer. He put in the request same day, Wed 6/28/17
Thu 6/29/17: still no sign of starpoints in krisflyer account...called back Krisflyer who apologized and re-sent the expedited request
Miles deposited in Krisflyer account: Friday 6/30/17 (sometime before 08:00 EST)
Overall, this was a pretty frustrating/stressful process BUT the Singapore Airlines agents provided what is probably the best customer service I've experienced with ANY company. They were phenomenal. They offered to call me back and did so at the specified time. One agent called me back after we hung up to inform me that while she could hold the SQ portion of my award indefinitely until the transfer is completed, she could not do the same for the *A portion of the ticket because it was a partner airline. I already knew this, but it was very thoughtful of her to do this.

Just initiated transfer from Citi ThankYou Points around 11/6/2017 5:30pm.
After about 28 hours, I called Singapore airline to ask them to expedite. They offered to reserve the business class reservation.
Immediately after calling, I got the transfer about 29 hours post transfer.

Was just a 1000 points short for a redemption booking from SFO-SIN, decided to use MilesLife and go have a nice meal downtown... spent $300 - next day 1152 KrisFlyer miles were in my account. And that's on top of the usual credit card miles that I earned.

Where did you eat? What's your general opinion of MilesLife? Been meaning to sign up but haven't gotten around to it.
