TK website now accepting Amex

Until recently, even though the Amex logo was displayed, it wasn't possible to pay with an Amex card on thy.com.
This has changed. They're now accepting it.

Sorry for the late news then.
I didn't try it since november and I haven't seen yet the information on this thread.

I can confirm it does work. I bought a ticket with Amex a week or so ago.

My problem has been with award tickets booked over phone for which they only seem to accept VISA/Mastercard or has anyone been able to use Amex there as well recently?

I booked flights on the Turkish Airlines website 4 weeks ago and paid with Amex - but nothing has appeared on my credit card statement yet, not even a "pending charge" to show they've held it. I've got confirmed e-tickets though and have even checked-in online. I phoned their call centre and they said their system is showing payment has been taken.

So did I get free flights?

If you're lucky, yes, but don't be surprised if they charge you 3 months after the flight. That has happened to me once, although not with TK, but KLM.

I was just about to post a question regarding a query relating to this, when I came across this thread . . .

So even though they haven't processed the charge as yet, does the e-ticket still hold validity..??? I have confirmed e-tickets viewable online, but no email. My purchase (via Amex) was on 5th May but nothing appearing on my card to date.

Bought tickets on 21st April, received e-mail with e-tickets straight away. Did show as a pending transaction on my Amex once when I checked my account just after buying the tickets, since then nothing, Amex say it is not unusual.

Well I flew the flights. No problems checking-in or anything, as the e-tickets were issued. I've since cancelled that credit card - wonder if TK will chase me for the money at some point
