Just wondering what the forum's recent experience with transfer of Flybuys to Etihad has been. I know the website states "up to 5 business days", but from reading previous threads (all 1+ years old), this has varied from 2 business days early on to over 8 business days in about mid-2016. I'm keen to book some flights as soon as I can, and am hoping someone can let me know what to expect.

Thanks!

I transferred some points earlier this year - from memory it was about 2-3 days for the points to clear

Darn, I put in my request to transfer on Monday evening, and no points yet. Will have to wait until 5 business days fully passes I guess
 
I had one take over 2 weeks. Ended up doing an Amex tranfer to secure the seat
 
data point:
I transferred some points from FlyBuys on Friday, and the points are in my account today (Tuesday), so 2 business days.
This is the first time I've checked the account since Friday
 
Just did my second transfer - out of Flybuys on Sunday, got there today (been checking every day) so barely 2 business days. Perhaps the first time just takes longer, or there was something going on in August?
 
It seems like its just luck of the draw - I transferred some more flybuys points last Monday, and they hit the Etihad account on the Friday (4 business days)
 
The Frequent Flyer Concierge team takes the hard work out of finding reward seat availability. Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, they'll help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

Is anyone else experiencing transfer delays from FlyBuys to Etihad at the moment?
My most recent transfer was on the 1st of November (approx 9 business days ago), and still no points received in my Etihad account :(
I rang FlyBuys yesterday, who said they would look into it, but it would take 3-5 business days for them to get back to me...
 
Theres a story on pointhacks saying that FB>EY transfers are suspended until further notice. Also on the FB site in the Collect Points section.

Just when I pass the number I needed to transfer...I hope they don't disappear...
