For whatever it's worth, I am a VX flyer with over 85K points and 22 segments this year so far and that shows in the data sent over. Also, been a member since 2014.

I've been a member for about 7 months, with 1 segment this year, so I got that going for me... At least I'm not a member for all of a couple days.

Hopefully mine is near. Submitted at 7:49a PDT on 6/25

I am thinking to go to SFO for a better Centurion experience :)

Transfer time from ThankYou Points to Elevate?
 
I know the transfer ratio from TYP to Elevate is 2:1 (unfavorable), but I value TYP at $.01/TYP, and Elevate at $.02/Elevate Point, so for me, it is a wash.

However, getting 75K JetBlue points is a win, even with the cost of a JetBlue flight from SFO to LAS or LGB.

My question: Does anyone know the time it takes for a TYP -> Elevate point xfer?

TIA.

Check the Citi forum, there's a thread on time it takes for transfers to partners.

Points transferred from SPG to VX in 36 hours. I have several segments on VX this year. Emailed in. No confirmation from JetBlue after 28 hours.

Based on various data points here and elsewhere, it looks like the apps are being processed in the order that they are received. Going by odin99 - he was the latest I've seen - processed about 90 minutes ago with a Saturday 5am PDT submit, so that's a turnaround of 54 hours. You'll probably get your status email tomorrow, if I had to guess.

Fingers crossed that mine comes through today.

Thx.

I saw this on the other thread <http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/25558823-post275.html> from 2015:
> checked today and it was transferred. <24 hours

Emailed JetBlue at 11am on Saturday (6/25) and haven't heard anything yet. I am hoping it happens today.

It seems like a good sign that no one has received an email about being ineligible or anything negative (that they've posted). It seems like they are just responding slowly...

how does one receive credit on your virgin elevate account?

I have over 50k points from transfers but it says 0 credits. I wonder if JetBlue will be ok with that.

You may be looking at the wrong thing. When you look on your account page you will see 4 columns

NEXT FLIGHT - ACCOUNT INFO - REWARD POINTS - STATUS POINTS

Reward points is the important one here and that is your point amount. Status points are points from flights per calendar year, so if you only ever transferred points, then that will be 0.

great. What is the calculation for credits? is it revenue based? So if you buy a $200 ticket, you get 200 credits?
