Generally UA operated flights are posting with hour or two of landing and often before landing

Things that can lead to a day or two delays
-- Irrops rerouting
-- late SDC
-- Same day booking

Appears UA does some preprocessing in advance of the flight and changes after that preprocessing are processed later.

Yeah, I'm 42 hours post-NRT departure (UA 838) and not posted yet.

I just landed in FRA (EWR-FRA) and within an hour of landing this flight has already credited to my account.

Sill taking 2.5 days on average to show. For international flights, my experience is that west to east takes longer than the other way round.

They used to always post same-day, but a while back it changed to the 2-day delay. Maybe they've switched back?

That is awesome. I did notice my mileage was posting around 24-36 hours after my flight landed. Definitely faster than the 11am CST posting 2 days after. If it is faster than that, then awesome. Will find out soon in a couple of weeks!

Same here, flew SAN-SFO-SAN yesterday and I saw the posting for the SAN-SFO segment in the morning (checked about 2 hours after I landed) and the SFO-SAN segment (checked about 2 hour after I landed).

I filled out the Missing Miles form for a domestic Egypt Air flight a few days ago and it was credited to my account instantly! I nearly fell off my chair in shock!

Well, at least one data point against this statement: just landed in the UK two hours ago and my SFO-LHR flight has already posted. Meant to check while en route to see whether it was there already, but fell asleep .

I got off my IAH-SFO flight less than 30min ago, it had already posted! On Qantas I see it posted as I’m disembarking (for several years). Great stuff!

My latest example: LAX-LHR, flew this last Friday, landed Saturday lunchtime, miles posted Monday morning.

Still 1.5-2 days for my flights to post. Flew Monday and they only posted this morning.

Flying again in a few days so will see if it changes for me.

Pre-merger, it was not unusual for UA to post the miles in the same day, sometimes while you were in the air. That changed.
