Hi everyone,
due to changing flights, being stranded for a 1 day stopover on my way home and an SQ flight being credited immediately, I just received the email for the mileage credit and realized I have an opportunity for the next 10 hours before my flight leaves:

I now have 72.500 status miles during the last 12 months.
In 10 hours I'll started a paid C class flight earning 11.000 miles.
So right now I can buy 8.000 status miles for 500 Euros.

My question is:
If I buy up to elite+ now and start a flight 2-3 hours later that will earn 11k miles, will I then be elite+ and immediately have 11.000 miles that count for renewal?


Some airlines do not count everything earned in the month where you reach the new status for renewal and I couldn't find anything for how TK handles it.

The benefit would be that I can buy up to elite+ now - I would reach it anyway but by doing it, I only have to collect 29.000 miles during the next 12 months to renew then. After reaching elite+ the buy miles option is only available for the 24 months period.

Thanks,
zap!
