How long for Skywest SCs to credit? Review date in a few weeks!!

[Jurahn]

I'm currently sitting on 440 SCs with an upcoming review date of 12 November, so did a status run on 21 October with Skywest PER-BQB-PER to get me over the line to Gold. Booked Skyflex fares directly with Skywest, as these earn at the First/Business rate, so should get a total of 80 SCs for the flights. Nothing posted yet, and I know the Velocity website says to wait 14 days for Skywest points to credit - just wondering whether anyone has seen their Skywest SCs/points actually come through in that 14-day period? Judging by other threads I've seen, it's often a case of having to put in a retro claim and wait anything up to several months for Skywest flights to credit - my concern is that a good whack of my SCs will expire on 12 November and shortly afterwards, and I've seen the hassles others have described on this forum about trying to get the status upgrade they're entitled to when SCs don't post in time before other SCs expire.

So is it worth giving Velocity a call this week and putting in a retro claim, or will they tell me that I just have to wait until the 14 days is up before doing so? Waiting until the 14 days has passed will leave me with just over a week before my review date, which really concerns me. Only being Silver, my call would go through to the main Velocity call centre and although the staff are usually quite helpful, anything out of the ordinary seems to throw them judging by my own experience and other threads on similar subjects. Hubby was on the same flight with me, nothing credited for him yet either - he's recently ticked over to Gold and was racking up some more SCs for requalifying for next year, so no rush for his points etc to credit - would it maybe be better for him to call as he will go through to the Gold Priority Call Centre? Would he be able to chase up the SCs for both of us?

Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated.

ETA: Our Velocity numbers were entered on the Skywest site at the time of booking and appeared on the boarding passes

I just checked my activity from April and May this year where I had three DJ skywest flights and all of them had a processed date of two days after my activity date.. These were all to GET.

I never used to check my velocity account and when they started giving SC's for Skywest flights I checked. There was 37 flights they had not credited the points for. I emailed and rang them several times and only managed to get 6 flights credited to my account.
I am gold now but will easily qualify for Platinum this year as I do at least 2 flights a week with Skywest and always try to book the sky flex fare.
Only advice I can give is to check the site every week or so. Although since me rants my points and SC's usually appear a week at the most on my account

No such luck here. Nine days on, and still nothing showing. Hubby rang the Velocity Gold call centre to speak to them about it, only to be told initially by the person he spoke to that Skywest flights aren't eligible for SC and points earn anyway!!!! Once he got past that little hurdle and started to explain the situation, he was told that they can take several weeks to come through and that we'd "just have to wait".

I guess I'll have to do some chasing up of my own with the main call centre if there's nothing through by the end of the week, I've got scanned copies of the boarding passes and e-tickets ready to send - am keeping fingers crossed that the SCs might come through on their own, but have got a feeling I'm going to have to go through the retro claim process. It wouldn't be too much of a concern if my review date (and subsequent SC expiry) wasn't coming up in 2 weeks, but I've worked hard to get enough SCs to qualify for Gold, and don't want to have hassles at the last "hurdle" now!!!
