I guess if I would sit on 8 digits in points I wouldn’t think twice before booking for in 7 months from now, but being that I’m only sitting on 7 digits I might need it in between!

JFK-TLV AA business 70K AA + $5.60 & second seat in economy paid ticket, one way main cabin, only $394

Way back:
2X TLV-JFK 47K Turkish + $275 Swiss business (A330 short leg, 777 long leg)

DP regarding Citi transfer to Turkish:
Points took about 22 hours to post, brand new TK account with no prior activity.  Used full membership number including TK prefix on thankyou.com.  Almost had a heart attack when booking online and space ended up being phantom, but the U.S. call center was able to book in the end (zero wait time, very professional and knowledgeable agent!).  For some reason, their system wouldn't accept Amex Plat so resorted to Citi Prestige, hope there are no delays or luggage issues...

Just for contrast: it took me almost 2 weeks last month, on an existing account with the TK prefix.
In short, don't rely on it.
They were able to hold a PNR ticket for me for 72 hours (TK metal), but that wasn't enough.

Thanks for the info. I'm aware of the problematic nature of Turkish, but this was a bit of a last-ditch effort booking.  The main goal/aspiration was business for two, and this was literally the only option for the number of points available that fit the rigid date.  If this hadn't panned out, it would have been either a cash econ ticket or miles econ from a secondary account with fewer points available, and the newly-transfered  miles would have just stayed in TK until next time...
