The easiest option to get a lot of TK miles at this point is probably Citi TY Premier but some have reported issues of moving miles to MS, takes more than just clicking transfer button online.
Ah, so have you found the best way is to transfer Amex MR points into Citi TYP and then transfer into Miles&Smiles for redemption on TK ?
What are the transfer rates ?
Amex MR to City TYP 1:1
Citi TYP to MS 1:1
??
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Skint and need to use points really !!
I would love to have used Avios on AirBerlin or some Qatar QMiles with someone but those don't seem like options anymore ;-)
