In my experience Wyndham always seems to record the activity date as the date the transfer was initiated.

Answer from e-rewards
Hello Worldtraveller2,
I apologize for any inconvenience. The miles are sent for fulfillment on the redemption date and is done by the airline, we cannot guarantee when the miles are to be credited to your frequent flyer account. Should you have any further questions, please contact us.
Sincerely,
Martin

What's your plan - waiting for DM to respond or escalating above "Martin" ?

I know that e-Rewards is invite only. Anyway that I can make sure I get an invite from US Airways? Do you have to be targeted or can someone else forward their invite to you.
Also, if I already have an e-Rewards profile, how do I get the option of having US Airways as one of the partners I can transfer to?

If you already have e-rewards, us will show-up in your reward redemptions window, or on the left hand margin. If it doesn't unfortunatly they are not partners on that specific one.

I don't know what the criteria for being invited is. Best you can do is make sure your e-mail preferences allow them spamming you. 
Also, if you never seem to get any e-mail, you might try a different e-mail address. I never got marketing messages (like the GS scorecards) at my main address. Once I added a Gmail address as an alternate, I started getting them there.
Generally, competitors to the inviter are not available as redemption options. So if you were invited by another airline, you aren't going to get DM. Hotels, though, usually do. I signed up from a Hilton invite. It allows redemptions on a lot of airlines, but Hilton is the only hotel.

This is a possibility but it's also possible that whatever was giving some people a phantom double hit could also be at play...

While we may not be able to explain the reason computers do actually behave mostly predictably so I wouldn't be betting on it. The fact we can't explain this reason doesn't mean there isn't one.
