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.

UA is now posting their flight earnings very soon after arrival (hours, same day, ..)

United points now posting more quickly post flight?
I read this in The Points Guy blog that United points are now posting immediately after the flight: https://thepointsguy.com/news/united...eplus-credits/
This happened to me on Monday, but I flew yesterday at 1pm and those points are still not posted. Other experiences? Thanks!

Did flights just start posting immediately?
At first I thought I was imagining things... but a flight yesterday and now a flight today both posted by the time I landed. Did they finally manage to make this happen real-time?

Granted it was longhaul, but SFO-TPE had posted before I got to baggage claim. Pleasantly surprised with the recent change to mileage posting...

I had IAH->SFO->PVG post almost immediately a few days ago. So what changed? Is this the new normal?

My DEN-EWR flight last week had posted as soon as I deplaned (checked while waiting for colleagues to deplane). I next plan to check during taxi, to see if it is triggered by landing or by gate arrival.

For the last couple of weeks my flights have been posting almost instantly after flight lands. Tuesday was waiting for my Uber at SFO and they posted probably 5 mins after arrival, Friday arrived IAH and they posted while I was walking to the next gate. I like the improvement, now if they could just work on some of their other issues I'd be a happy camper.
