Supposedly these are elite qualifying miles according to FT chat but who knows if that's really true:

What a vague promo.

Says purchase by 12/27, but when is the deadline to fly?

[coralsnake]

Looks like must fly by 12/27 and miles post Jan 20 as Trump is inaugurated.

How can you buy a roundtrip by 12/27 and fly by 12/27?

Youve never flown a roundtrip same day?

How is YQ on Turkish Miles&Smiles?

They do have an interesting program IIRC, with family pooling, but I don't recall seeing any CC transfer options for US based customers. If they would, it might have been even more interesting, as they have a promo to convert miles to status miles at 5:1. While that's quite steep, if it were easy to get those points in there, it might be a lucrative way to get *A status without actually flying.

Looks like you might have to include FF# at the time of booking.
If you can get a decent Biz fare it may be worth it.

C1-C1 is 30k RT in J, and should be 50k for 2 pax, which would theoretically mean that 1 flight to Israel would earn *G through 2018 (assuming it's really EQMs and dated for January) and enough for 5 UA EWR-LAX J tickets.

Wow! How much are tickets pricing out as?

Switch to old website (there should be something at the bottom of the screen to do that) and then go to the link.

[mmgfarb]

How many EQM's do you need to earn for *G?

[jr611]

not really related, but does anyone much prefer the "old version" of the site?

Yes.

[ExGingi]

Yes.

+1

IINM if you try to book multi-city is actually forces you into the old version.
