and it says: promotion valid from now..

but no clear conditions. I hope THY will answer me soon


I just got an idea. I think there is no mistake in english, they just put a wrong number.
I guess 8nd means 2nd March. Which is logical, as they released this emails on 2nd March.

Right?

Would also be interesting to know if status miles are coupled to booking class in this promotion - for those who are flying just in economy. ;-)

e.g. you are flying economy in a booking class which normally brings you 50%; with this promotion it would be 100%, right?

Too good to be true?

The example from below sounds just unbelievably good:

Buy a Baltics - EZE 1500 J ticket (ticketed to K class).
Regular RT is roughly 17 800 miles.
K class for Elite members makes it nearly 28 500 miles.
Current promotion would make it over 110 000 miles (if the worst scenario came true, it would "only" be slightly over 70 000).
2 hotel nights covered by TK due to long layovers as a bonus.

Considering the positive direction of this Turkish delight, it would mean immediate Elite Plus status + one extra Limited Availability Seat roundtrip in J from Europe to Far East + over 20 000 miles left for another trip.

Well, not sure if Turkish tourism has been struggling this much, but this sounds more like a wake-up call is coming soon. Or, are we really that lucky?

That's a great deal! Does it work from other locations in Europe such as Scandinavia?

Do the status miles count as spendable miles too?

I thought I hadn't been sent that email because I comfortably re-qualified in my first year as E+, then here's you with about double the miles.

Pessimist in me says no way, but it kind of looks like it from the T&C's:

I think EZE only works from Baltics. Same is PTY, but earnings are lower. You should also be able to get HEL - SFO for about the same price, but again - with lower earnings. Not sure if ARN/OSL/CPH (or any other European destination) have any good deals.

CAI - Asia is obviously even cheaper, but earnings are probably the lowest out of all options, and when you consider positioning to CAI, it's not that good at all.

Miles should be redeemable, but as I mentioned - it all sounds like TK would be too generous.

No I don't. My guess is this was randomly sent out to a set percentage of Miles&Smiles members.

Clarifixation from their twitter helpdesk:

Hi again, you may view and calculate how many miles you earn via https://t.co/FhtVg2lARf . You can just add the destinations which you would like to fly and view the booking classes after calculation. After this transaction, if you in business class ( for instance K class), you may calculate the mileage as four times. Also for your convenience, here is a link which shows how many miles can be earned depends on classes; https://t.co/iXvwmppxVD . With our kindest regards.
