Hi all

I recently transferred 60,000 miles from my Amex Rewards to Asia Miles to book a J class reward for my mother. The estimated time on the Amex site (when transferring) is 3 business days. It has been more than 5 business days since the transfer, and when I called Amex, they said the transfer had been completed successfully with no issues so requested I follow up with Asia Miles.

I have just called Asia Miles and they informed me that whilst the Amex transfer time is 3 business days, it could take Asia Miles up to 2 - 3 weeks to process the miles into the account. This seems like an incredibly long period of time to be waiting (when you are preparing to book an award) so I was just wondering if anybody has had any practical experience with this? Does this usually take 2-3 weeks or did the miles hit the account after a couple of days?

While talking to the MPC representative, I was able to ask them to hold the award ticket for me until Tues (3 days from now) but it could be unlikely that my miles will arrive by then.

Thanks in advance for any information!
