it is not 640%.... as per my calculations you get something like flight distance 160% (J bonus) one time +300% distance flown

with 640% AMS-IST-BKK would have been good for e+

It's upstream from real data points. You get 4 times whatever the normal earning would have been. Therefore in J that's 160% times 4 = 640%.

I've booked my scheduled TK flights 6th of March via a travel agency which indicated my smiles number. First flight was 8th of march, return flight 13th of march. So far I do not see any additional bonus miles. Of course, I've received the promo mail by TK (actually twice ).

I'm a bit disappointed !!!



Regards.

Can you post more details on your ticket & how many miles you earned?

I would contact the TK helpdesk on twitter.

Thank you for your hint, I've tried via the webpage without any luck. I will try with twitter as well.

13.03.2017 TK1899 Q SAW - VIE SABIHA GOKCEN-VIENNA 0 1.000 13.03.2017 TK0765 Q KWI - SAW KUWAIT-SABIHA GOKCEN 0 1.337 08.03.2017 TK1886 Q VIE - IST VIENNA-ISTANBUL 0 1.000 08.03.2017 TK0772 Q IST - KWI ISTANBUL-KUWAIT 0 1.337

Update: I'm in contact with them via Twitter, thanks again, I will let you know what's the outcome.

24414 divided by 3 is 8138. (3 not 4 because that is the bonus element on its own) Therefore the 24414 bonus applies to SGN-IST. The bonus for IST-LHR should come separately.

thanks for the explanation, I really didn't figure that out on my own

The guy still hasn't received any bonus miles for the lhr - ist segment. he had no success contacting tk/miles and smiles support, as no one seems to know anything about this promotion...

Thats not true. I contacted TK miles and smiles via their feedback form and they came back with the answer - that miles are both for status and redeemable.

please see my post 114 on pg 8

As i guess tomorrow is the last day to book it with this promotion, i will try to call them tomorrow again.
Where in the promotion was it mentioned that the tickets have to be booked before a certain date? Thanks!

TK just offered me 4x miles until 25 March.

Very nice.

But a couple of week's back they promised me 4x miles until 15 June.

Have I been downgraded ?

I also got the new March 25th after getting the original for June. ...?

Maybe they decided it was too generous?

I have a flight in J on March 27th....

God knows fighting with them is impossible.

Now I'm more irritated with them than if I never got anything to begin with...
