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.

By the way I have received the e-mail about this promotion.

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.

I wonder if this counts on the Europe-IST portion of an intercontinental itinerary. For example, MUC-IST-ORD.

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.

There is this statement on the Terms&Conditions
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.

Was not surprised to hear an answer like this.

@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.

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?

Thanks for the update

My promo miles still haven’t posted. Guess it’s time to contact TK and hope for the best.
