Renewal criteria for Elite changed?
1. change: No difference where you live now.
2. change: The amount of miles you need to keep your status. In case you earn 30.000 Status Miles within 1 year or 45.000 Status Miles within 2 years from the date you qualify for Elite Membership, your Elite membership will continue for 2 more years. If you do not fulfill any of these criteria, your membership will be changed to Classic Plus. old rules: https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-u...ils/index.html new rules: https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-d...ges/index.html |
Hmm actually not really - if you scroll to the bottom it still says:
How can I extend or upgrade my membership? If you want to enjoy even more of the exclusive benefits offered by Miles&Smiles, you can earn Status Miles and use these to upgrade your Miles&Smiles membership status.
I know at the top section it did say you need 30,000/45,000 miles to extend. But oh well, we all know how good or bad the TK IT/website is. I also logged in and checked my account on my progress to keep my Elite status, it remains 37,500 for non-Turkish residency. |

They approved, that the new criteria is valid from now on, but members who have fullfilled their criteria already are not effected. https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-d...ges/index.html |

I had a call yesterday with TK customer hotline for Elite members, right after opening this thread.

See this! Question: Are you a Turkish resident? It is clearly mentioned that the criteria still remains THE SAME for non-Turkish resident. See the attached pic. It is clearly mentioned, that the cirteria has been changed from now on, as you can see in my first post, which I edited already. If you don't believe it, giva a call to TK's CR. If you still are not willing to believe/accept it, I can live with your opinion. ;) |

Understand your point. But, my question is, assuming we take what the TK reps said as true (**sarcasm** and we all know how accurate they are (at one point they blatantly told me that Air India (AI) is not a member of *A)), how do you explain the second sentence of the 3rd point of the pic that I posted? From what I understand, the new requirements are for TK residents. Like @AviationAddict mentioned, even I logged into my account, and **touchwood** , all seemed okay (although, I did overqualify a fair bit, and I did qualify under the new rules ;) ).
Happy to be corrected / proven wrong! But the second link I have posted in my first post is enough imho. And as I wrote already, members who have fullfilled the old criteria already are not effected, but all other are. I hope I am wrong, but I don't think so. Let's wait and see. |

I thought I was the only one - I started a thread similar to this a couple of months ago.
Now I'm booking flights for next year to run to renew Elite status and right now I'm aiming for 25k within a year. |
I'm a non TK resident, my latest statement and the app show the 25k/37.5k as the requal levels.
If all else fails - change to Asiana. Very similar levels (40k in 2 years) and the customer service can't be any worse can it? |

I noticed what OP also noticed in August, I sent TK a message on Twitter and they confirmed that it is 25k/37,5k for non-Turkish residents.

That's good news! I hope other FT'ers can chime in regarding the updated requirement.
I hope you are wrong too! ;) :( Planning to do an MR (even though I have hit the new requirements), to get over the 50k threshold (not that it's required). Starting next year, I am aiming for 30k / yearly. |
