Were you on a US domestic flight or international? I wasn't sure if lounge access in the US required an international flight or not.

Haven't gotten the card yet, luckily I booked on DL rather that UA/US this week.

AwardWallet now tracks TK Elite status as well as miles, so I was happy to see this today:

*G gets into lounges no matter what *A flight you're flying. The only exception is if you are a US/UA *G member and are flying domestic routes on UA/US.

Exactly the same text for me on June 4th. No change in status yet though.

Questions:
If I match today, I get gold status to June 2014, assuming I get 25k status miles between now and Dec.....
- That extends my gold status out to June 2016
- June 2014 will be the start of my next status earning period

Are these statements correct?

same message on June 1st - nothing happened so far

I sent them an email on May 29th and not an even an acknowledgement yet. I think they probably got overwhelmed by the amount of requests :rolleyes:

How many still waiting for e-mail from THY and what date did you send in yours?

I e-mail'd "[email protected]" on Jun 4 along with my statement & card. Still nothing as of today... :(

Logged on, no change in status.

Sent mine on may 30 nothing heard yet. No change online to my status.

Sent email over the weekend [they received it yesterday] - today I got 'forwarded to the relevant dept" email.

No change in status yet.

they finally responded back with the SAME EXACT email denying me - stating that only those that are SkyTeam Elite Plus can status match (if trying based on that). Do they really not know that DL Gold isn't part of that, even though I sent them the links to DL's own website stating that Gold is part of ST Elite???

regardless, i just copied exactly what I wrote them before and sent it, again :)

Correct. I accessed BOS, IAH, SFO, LAX & ORD United Clubs over the weekend without a hassle. In SFO the person doing the check in had not yet seen a Turkish elite card but no problems entering there either. All my flights were credited to UA program so don't even need to credit to TK to access.

Two other people I know, that matched before me, have not received their cards yet. One contacted TK who refused to send a card without crediting a flight to them.

Yeah, it seems like they're getting at least inconsistent and maybe actually rolling back the policy. I tried to sign up for M&S online and got some error, and spent quite a while on the phone with their call center trying to get my account set up (so I could match from DL Gold, which itself may not be feasible...). After the guy set up the account I just asked him point blank if they status match and he said no. Who knows if the info hasn't trickled down to front line operators, but still...

Sent an email last week Thursday. Received a 'forwarded to the relevant dept' email on Tuesday of this week.

The status hasn't been updated yet.

Same as me - maybe they are doing them in batches?

if they were rolling back the policy, they shouldn't be sending BS emails that state we're not eligible due to their policy (when, in fact, we DO qualify via their policy).
