MR points -> AsiaMiles transfer time?

[wafliron]

Has anyone transferred Membership Rewards points to AsiaMiles recently? If so, how long did it take? I note a few previous threads saying the "official policy" is 2 weeks, but members were reporting it normally taking ~3 days or so. Curious to find out if this is still the average transfer time?

Yes around 3 days for me from recollection. I did this around a month ago.
Good thing it did not take 2 weeks!

Thanks for the info.

I was tossing up between transferring from CitiRewards -> AsiaMiles or MR -> AsiaMiles. MR has the benefit of there being a "known" transfer time whereas I haven't been able to get any feedback re CitiRewards (official time is "28 days", but I think they say that for all programs - and my experience with KrisFlyer, Qantas, etc, has been much faster), but on the flipside I've got a lot of CitiRewards points and would rather keep my MR points for other redemptions given how flexible they are.

In the end I decided to risk it on CitiRewards and requested the transfer this arvo... hopefully it doesn't come back and bite me!!

That's not good. Please let us know the outcome.

I've posted another update, but over in the thread I created in the Citibank forum - really more appropriate given I went the Citibank route and this is in the Amex forum. You can find it here: http://www.australianfrequentflyer....asiamiles-transfer-time-45085.html#post715988

Amex transfer is quick and easy. Two days. I haven't done transfer from Citi but even communicating with Citi reps is a challenge. ( I'm still waiting for PP card to be issued despite 9 calls to bank over eight weeks.)
