Just checking if anyone has any real world data-points on how long the transfer process takes between Amex Rewards and Etihad Guest Miles.

Have found a redemption I'd like to make but a little worried with the potential of '5 Business Days' stated on the Amex website.

I have zero experience using Etihad Miles and this seems a long time to wait and hope the seats remain available (unless they can be reserved somehow?)

In my experiences the transfers to other partners are immediate so unsure how accurate this timeframe is?

Would love if anyone could share some feedback.
