Regarding the discussion going on here some information I have is as follows. I am an Elite Plus and I had checked this with a couple of customer service representatives and one airport ticket office. Together with those and what I obtained from TK website, here are my conclusions about this issue:

1) %50 Busines companion ticket only applies to paid tickets in C or D class. There was a clear statement at TK website which states "%50 discount" is available only for certain classes without mentioning C or D class but this is what I learnt through representatives and the ticket office. As far as I see, this statement is removed from the web site now but I believe it is still the case.

2) %50 companion ticket does not apply for award tickets unfortunately. Companion award ticket is available at %30 discount for all M&S members (not only for Elites) for all paid tickets. That is, if you paid for a ticket, you can purchase a companion ticket with miles at %30 discount. Furthermore, the companion award ticket can be issued for the same or lower cabin.

I hope that these are relaxed recently and would be very happy if anyone has any other experience. All the best.
Hi Kylthm and welcome to FlyerTalk and thanks for the clarification!

1- Thank you for the clarification, I would use this post as the most recent information about the issue until we have a more recent upgrade.

2- Yes, it was decreased from 50% to 30% in the past years. You are right
