If you look at TK's website on how to earn miles, only TK page mention status miles. You click on it's *A member airlines logo on TK's page, they all mention "miles", none of them mention "status miles". For example, Lufthansa page shows the % miles earned for various fare classes, but it does not mention "status miles", or, does it imply mile earned = status miles? can someone tell me how many "status miles" you earn on LH "Z" class? is it 135% of miles flown?
Perhaps TK's webpage is not reliable? and we just have to go by whatever people say.
