Tried transferring MR into SQ on Friday afternoon for the second time and while last time it was there Saturday night, this time it has yet to show up.

Trying to make a last second booking for tomorrow afternoon. If the miles don't post by tomorrow morning, is there any way at all to make a miles booking with them without the miles in the account yet?

SQ can hold reservations at least I know with UA, call them.

Can't without sufficient mileage in the account.

Can I add MIA-EWR to a JFK-MUC-TLV booking with SQ for no additional mileage cost?

No additional miles, but $20 change fee.
How would you get from TLV - MIA?

Impossible, unless you mean 2am Saturday night.

Been happening lately with SQ, that nothing gets processed Friday night.

Check after 2:30, hopefully it'll be there.

I am most certain that when I transferred in November on a Friday afternoon that when I logged in Sat night it was there implying that it was there 3am Sat morning. Am I definitely wrong there or has it been able to show up on a Saturday in the past?

On a side note, was in this morning and booked the important Sunday flight.

Definitely wrong, transfers never went through Friday night.

Can't hold until you have sufficient miles in the account.

So it's a good idea to call regarding availability before midnight then transfer and wait few hours till 3am and call back to book it.
