So I seem in the situation I hoped for - 2 years from the status match, since done >25k miles between M1-12 secured an extension of 2 years from 16 October 2026
But, strangely, it also says that if I score another 42.3 k status miles I am Elite plus. Maybe since my first flight with TK was on 14.11.25 and I could in theory try to make the jump to Elite plus in the next 4 weeks?
Glad to hear it looks like it will be the same for you, i.e. 2+2. 👍. Doesn't seem to be that helpful as a precedent to folks out there, but for whatever it's worth it seems sometimes M1-M4/M5-M12 might matter, other times only M1-M12 does. If you don't get the outcome you're looking for, be persistent with TK - no guarantees, but we have at least one example earlier on the thread of it paying off to doing so.
