Seeing a number of airlines with flights $600 and less rtn SFO-HKG around then. Don't see value in flying UA post March 1 on flights like these unless crediting to a *A partner.

And even star partners earn at most 50%, but still a good fare.

Turkish Airlines' Miles and Smiles gives you full credit for distance and getting status match is super easy.

That's who my UA have been going to. Only problem is the redeemable miles expire after 3 years regardless of activity.

Sorry, I think this has changed to 50% for a K fare after 9 March 2015:

http://www.turkishairlines.com/en-in...nited-airlines

Is there any elite bonus for crediting to TK?

It's almost RDM neutral for a 1K bought with a United CC. Factor in availability, award fees it may be more beneficial to credit to UA.. just my 2 cents.

~15,000 miles / $547

TK: 7,500 RDM
UA: ~4,000 Gold / ~4,500 Plat / ~5,500 1K+

Yes, but these also expire after ~36 months activity too!

Is this what AA was attempting to respond to when they misfiled their I fare?
