TK Offering x2 or x3 status miles on all routes: October 2019
TK has started a new promo that would give x2 status miles for all long-haul routes and x3 status miles for all other routes regardless of flight or cabin. The only requirement is that the flight should be booked within 2 - 20 October 2019 and the flights should be between 2 October - 20 December 2019. Also, please pay attention that the upper limit of this promo is 12.000 miles and notice that the miles would be credited until 31 January 2020.
My advice would be that for people having their status expiring before February 2020 to think one more time as when they are downgraded before the mileage credits to their account, dealing with TK with a feedback form when extra promo miles have not been credited could be a pain.
In addition, if you want to benefit from this campaign, do not attempt to use benefits from another *A program during your flight and do not enter any other FQTV number at the booking system. Miles obtained via the retroclaim option would not give extra status miles.
Example Case: For a passenger holding non-TK*G and TK*S and flying TK to upgrade his status to Elite; do not try to enter the lounge, do noy use your extra baggage allowance, etc... which come from your non-TK-*G FQTV card. If mistakenly an agent links your non-TK*G card to your reservation and you would need to retroclaim those miles, you won't get the extra miles.

Wow, glad it’s only status miles as I don’t need any at the moment.
Started getting really irritated for a second, I just spent some money for TK last night and always miss out on promotions.

Are you OK for turnarounds or you want to visit somewhere when you travel?
How many miles you would need? ( In total including the additional ones )
These questions would help.

Including 2 free nights of hotel at IST
