multiple miles are always counted towards base miles so it would be 4x5000

got this email too. thinking of doing an MR just for the status. However, I would like to get the details before I book. I don't want TK to tell me later that I did not do it right ...

I wonder whether this is targeted to those that felt short changed with the status match

The promotion is probably targeted at elites who haven't flown much recently.

I got my Elite status 2.5 years ago through a match with my American Airlines Executive Platinum status. But in reality Turkish and Star in general are my backup airline when OneWorld can't get me where I am going. It took an effort to meet my renewal goal at 2 years and I haven't flown Turkish or Star since.

What I wonder is whether the multiplier applies to what you would otherwise have earned or to base miles. I have an upcoming trip I could fly on Turkish, and the cheapest economy ticket (actually a really good price) is in T class that would normally earn 50% elite qualifying miles and redeemable.

So during the promotion, do I get 2 x 50%? or 2 x 100% of the miles flown? Because at the same price I could also fly Ethiopian, and as far as I can tell, all Ethiopian flights (well, in the classes I am looking at) earn 100% qualifying and redeemable miles anyway.

I got the Email, was Gold until October 2016 now Silver.

Are we 100% sure the 4x promotion is only for status & not bonus miles? That's too bad :/

Any good promotions ex Europe with TK in J?

I am sure that the miles are credited regarding the original miles, that means if T gets you 50% than that would be x2 and if C gets you 150% you will get 4x that, I assume.

Everything I have seen from Miles & Smiles suggests that "status miles" ARE "redeemable miles".

But my last TK flights were in 2014. Those "50% bonus" routes always showed up in my account as status miles.

I have only ever received "bonus miles" from buying miles and other free miles from updating my account details etc.

Looking forward to feedback from whoever is tempted enough to do some TK flights.

Checking right now but not finding anything

Promotion on tk website:
Matrix wont show FKB-HAV, it is only in eco but it says semi-flexible so it might be a 100% fare it should be like like roughly 30k miles Return *4 ~~

I need 20k miles to requalify... is it for 1 or 2 years ?

"Only international flights are valid for this promotion"
