Transfer Time For AMEX Membership Rewards To Singapore Airlines?
I’m wondering if it really takes 15 days to transfer AMEX Membership Rewards points to Singapore Airlines.
I’m planning a trip for next year, and the seats are about to open up, but I just noticed the “up to 15 days” transfer time.
Is there any chance they’ll hold a seat for me that long?
Also, if I book an Air India flight with Aeroplan miles but then have to cancel, do the miles go back to Aeroplan or to Air India?
Sorry if these are silly questions.
I’m an experienced traveler, but I’ve been loyal to United Airlines and I’m just getting used to this new way of doing things!

The transfer partner cheat sheet indicates it takes more than one day.
I’ve never come across any information suggesting it takes anywhere close to 15 days.
When points are refunded, they are always returned to the booking platform used, in this instance Aeroplan.

No, they do not take 15 days.
It’s usually instant but may take a few days if it’s your first time.
Aeroplan miles will go back to Aeroplan.
But there may be high cancellation fees depending on the award fare you purchased so double check if it’s worth it.

Membership Rewards took about 5 business days for me last time to send money to Singapore.
But it was my first time, so I’m not sure if that’s standard or if it varies.
