How long do BA, Finnair and Other oneworld flights take to credit to Qantas?

More data points. Yesterday I took a total of 4 flights on Alaska Airlines as part of a mileage run. So far none of the flights have posted yet to my QFF account. Will keep you posted on the status of those.

Also if the mod could rename this thread to simply How long do Partner Flights take to credit to Qantas, I think this would appeal to a wider audience and allow us to share our experiences more widely on this issue.

AS take between 3 and 7 days to come across - must be something with the way they batch them.

There's actually a couple of existing threads - more about chasing up the points that don't come across.
 
More data points, this time flying American Hairlines (Operated by Qantas) and Alaska Airlines:

We are still missing one flight which I took on the 25th (SEA > LAX on AS in J) which would complete the LAX to LAX trip I took. Will follow up with them late next week via email if it doesn't post as I've got my BP proving the flight was indeed taken.

Final update: SEA to LAX segment on AS finally posted:

Just took a bunch of AY flights, so let's see how long these take to post.
 
BA flights credited to Mrsdrron in 48 hours. But then again at the ludicrously low QF rate for BA SIN-SYD.
 
It's been 5 days since my first AY flight (of which there were 3 in total) and still nothing in my account.
 
Give it two weeks. IIRC, they tend to do weekly crediting so it'll take a little while to show up. Last it took me five days to credit but it's also been a lot longer earlier.
 
BA flight on 29/04, points / scs posted on 06/05

AY flight on 09/04, nothing posted so claimed missing points and denied 'UNSUCCESSFUL - NO MATCH ON BOOKING NAME OR FLIGHT'. Complained to Qantas and points / scs awarded.

I find AY points rarely post without raising a claim.
 
AY flights credit for me in 90% of the cases. Sometimes a little slowly but they come through eventually. Perhaps they have developed a mild case of Qantasitis (TM), a habit of inconsistency.

Next lot of AY flights posted 5 to 6 days later.
Happy with that.
 
AY booked with QF flight number posted at 48hrs

AY flight number hasn’t posted at all after 72hrs.

BA flight numbers booked as QFF classic reward flights havent shown on activity statement at all after over a week.

My last CR on BA (last year) took a couple of weeks to land.

Meanwhile, there’s been some recent BA back office IT tweaks to “enhance” the way CRs on BA post to QFF.
 
Additional AY data points from flights over the last month or so:
Flights on Tuesday posted the following Wednesday (8 days)
Flight on Thursday posted on Tuesday (5 days)
Flight on Friday posted on Wednesday (5 days)

All flights were booked directly with AY and had AY flight numbers (not sure if this affects anything). Didn't need to follow up with QF for any of them.
