How long are Chase UR to United transfers currently taking?
I haven't transferred miles before.. I made the mistake of reading multiple blogs that described the transfer time from Chase UR to United as "instantaneously." I see there is still award availability for the ticket I want but probably not for much longer. It's been over two days since I initiated the transfer from Chase to United.

Yes, I know the boilerplate statement is "1 - 2 business days and up to 7" on the Chase web site. All the "expert" blogs I read though said transfers were instantaniously. Just curious if any one has recent experiences and can share how long their transfers took.

It's been 2 days.. just transferring 10k miles to top off my UA account for the booking. By the time the miles arrive.. the ticket I need might already be gone. *sigh*

UR to United transfer is not reliably instant.
Seems like you're one of the unlucky ones. Hope they come through in time for you to grab the award!

yes I've been logging out and logging back in every two hours. Also called the CSR number to ask.. they said the transfer is delayed and there is nothing they can do to speed it up.

Sometimes the following transfer after a delayed transfer can be near instant, and that is even when the delayed transfer and the near instant transfer(s) were made on the same day.

Like a lot of folks upthread, I read a lot of "instant transfer to United" stuff and assumed it would be the same for me. (I didn't see this thread first!)
So in case anyone is interested in more data for this thread, I requested a transfer yesterday and got the miles today. It took approximately thirty hours.

And one more bit of info...
The price had gone up for the seat I wanted while I was waiting for the initial transfer. It made the difference in fares pretty small so I decided to go for the higher level, which meant I'd need more points. On whim I instituted another transfer, figuring I'd probably have to pay to hold the fare.
I got the "your points transfer has been started" email, so I figured it was going to be another day or so, but then immediately got the success email.
So this time was instantaneous.
Don't know if it matters, but the first transfer was over 100K and this one was under 20K.

Processed a Chase UR to M+ (UA) transfer this morning
Spouse to Authorized User UA account (me) of 124,000.
Chase's site is stating this transfer will take 7 days.
Ugh. While we did call Chase/UR they were unhelpful and said it is what it is.
Has anyone experienced this before? "New features?"

Unfortunately, Chase to UA is not always instant. There are several threads on this.

UR to United transfer is not reliably instant.
