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, ..)

Still occasional reports of a day or two. I would not worry for at least a couple of days. You can not make a request to UA until 5 days.

SDC and irrops seem to lead to 24 hour delays or so IME. And the itin stays "open" (under your "My Itineraries" list) until the next day, which is probably related.

I have an ANA flight that was on a 016 United ticket that hasn't posted yet after 36 hours. It was delayed an hour for takeoff.
Any ideas how long something like this takes? Only reason I ask is BR posts to UA MP as fast as regular UA flights these days.

The process for requesting missing mileage is covered in [Consolidated] UA/Partner flights miles not posting?

My lagged segment also showed up about 36 hours after the flight. No SDC or other nuance to that itinerary though. P fare class booked a few months ago, everything was on time and smooth. That's the first delay I've had on ~30 legs since the faster posting times.

Does this mean youll be recognized as a next level Premier and start earning more RDMs just as quickly after landing?
Would be great if you could land on your silver-earning flight one day and proceed to pick your free E+ for a next day return hours later at OLCI...

I had a similar one last year that took 3 days I believe. Most partner flights take between 2 and 6 days to post to UA.

Yes this should be possible. My wife landed at 203 pm and her flight was already updated before 415 pm today. The first non UA flight hadnt posted yet but thats also normal.

It was a SDC and then there was an upgrade (CPU - I know they are unicorns but have been getting many of them this year) at the gate for the first leg. I went to report the missing credit (need all my PQDs this year) and neither the fare code nor seat number is there - of course it is not more than five days since the flight so report could not be submitted.
So it was not the SDC that is the issue (as second leg posted) it appears.to be the SDC with a gate upgrade that caused the problem. United got me used to instantaneous reporting once the flight was completed.
