February-March 2019: Up to x3 status miles
https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-t...tr&utm_term=tr
Turkish Airlines had introduced a new campaign tonight. Those who want to maintain their status or expand their status have the chance to earn x2 status miles on all their Economy Class flights and x3 status miles on all Business Class flights booked and flown on the designated time frame.
Just be aware that only flights from Turkey to Europe and Europe to Turkey are permitted.
FE: You won't be earning x3 miles if you buy a CGK-IST-LHR ticket for your IST-LHR leg. An airport in Turkey should be used as a destination.
I am not sure if a possible domestic connection counts as the x3 miles which could add 6000 status miles for no extra charge.
Also pay attention to the cities that doesn't count.
*******
For cheapest J class fares from Istanbul,
Try booking the Vilnius or Tallinn route from Atatürk Airport or try booking from SAW to Germany, Brussels or the Netherlands. Also CDG, VKO, LGW, FRA & MUC flights from Istanbul Airport are cheap. Flights departing from Ankara is included to the promotion but J class fares are too high.

Probably no. Check the flight points section in the link. The legs of the journey must start in Europe and end in Turkey or start in Turkey and end in Europe.

I had the first leg of a London to Istanbul flight in biz credit today but only the usual 2,491 miles credited to my account without the promised 3x miles set out in the offer.
Ticket was purchased on 21 February and travel out and back was on 18 March so I appear to be within the terms of the offer (and I received an email about it so appear to have been targeted)
Just wondering if if anyone else has had the additional points credit properly or not at all before I get back to TK?

Extra Miles earned will be added collectively to member accounts until 30/04/2019
If you don't receive the miles on the 1st of May contact TK via the feedback form.
It's also interesting that TK has deleted the T&C's from their website.

Thanks ISTFlyer - i remember reading that and wondering what “collectively” meant.
I also noted the t&cs had gone but was less worried as I assumed this was because the short qualifying window had expired.
I will wait a little longer.

I sent off a claim for the missing extra status miles but the TK response was just sending me back the full terms and conditions of the promotion!
I will wait until the end of the period to see what happens but I just wanted to ask if anyone has had the extra status miles credited to their account following a flight?

@CoweyB Did you receive the extra miles that you should receive? My bet would go to "No" but they should have credited those miles until today.

I am waiting to see if anything updates overnight before sending raising it with TK.
What about others?
Did anyone who has flown during this period actually receive the bonus status miles yet, or are you, like me, still waiting?

Nothing updated overnight, so I sent off a feedback form today with copies of my boarding passes and passport details and now I wait.
Has anybody who flew under the terms of campaign had their additional status points added to their accounts?

Well I haven’t heard back from TK in respect of the case I raised with them but I see that 9,964 status miles have just gone into my account.
This is, of course, double, not triple the miles for a return trip from London to IST but as the triple amount specified in the offer was capped at 10,000 status miles I’m not going to complain over the 36 miles I am still owed.
I am never reminded of a phrase my Northern Ireland grandmother would say: “Sure there’s always a handling with them...”
But the good news is that these additional miles, along with my flight to Athens in September will get enough status miles to renew my Elite for another two years.
Did anyone get them added properly?
