A3's M+B vs Turkish's Miles & Smiles
Hi folks:
I signed up for A3's M+B several years ago when there were still sweet spots in the award redemption chart. Now that they are gone, I wonder if I should bank my *A miles with Turkish's M+S. For those who have compared these two programs, what are your thoughts?
I am based in the US west coast and therefore will not fly A3 or TK extensively. For SQ miles, I bank with AS.
Thank you for your advice.

TK consistently is having problem redeeming online and some folks need to visit an airport sales office to have award reservations ticketed. Not an issue with A3.
A3 gives 1.5x miles on full Y tickets while TK is just 1x.
TK’s sweet spot is 7.5k /12.5K domestic award (Y/J) even to Hawaii, if u manage to have it to booked and ticketed.
