How fast does Turkish Airlines credit miles to Smiles&Miles account on *A flights?
How long it would take to Turkish Airlines credit miles which have been flown on some another *A carrier to my Miles&Smiles account? Can email be used? What about the 12month period. Does the date of the actual flight or the day when the miles are on my account matter? Thank you very much!

My SK,UA,LH and SQ flights have always credited within a week. I had a long story with MS which can be found in this forum.
E-mail works fine with attached etickets and scanned boarding passes.

It may take longer than mentioned here.
My LH flight in SEP14 was credited only end of DEC14 after sending multiple emails...
My balance was retro-updated though so I made 25K in 1 year (a year that ended in NOV14)

My experience with several Star Partners (UA, AC, LX, LH) is approx. one week. Many airlines will run batch jobs a few times a week so depending on your day of travel, it may take a bit shorter or longer.

Hit and miss. I have LO flights from late November / early December that did not show up yet, and I did not get a response from TK, after filing a request almost 2 weeks ago.
Another couple of weeks and they will wake up and credit me, as it happened before.

I took a flight with AC back in June, waited 2 months and nothing happened. Checked this forum and decided that it's a lost battle if claim it through TK. Then I pmed Ben the AC lurker here and finally we got our miles in our M&S accounts.

Good to know... Never had any issues with crediting AC to my TK account, though...
