Good luck signing up for Turkish airlines Miles & smiles points program. Website severely flawed with errors unfortunately in my experience and I’m currently in Istanbul.
Thanks for the post.
If there are no restrictions on MPM and four segments allowed for one ways it might be possible to book crazy things like ANC-EWR-HNL-IAD on UA for only 10k/15k through the call center as long as there is availability?
Nice sweet spot Ricky.
Not that I have any TK miles but I did sign up for the future, because I do want to go to Hawaii.
I punched in the same info as you Toronto/Honolulu Feb 8, one way.
And it keeps saying cannot find flight, please change date and location.
It’s been doing since last night.
I even changed the city to LA, Montreal to LA, etc and nothing seems to work.
I have tried both award seat and $ seat.
Did I miss something?
Thanks.
Make sure you’re using the link in this article.
The Turkish award search engine is separate from the Star Alliance partners search engine.
After logging in, navigate to your Miles Transactions. Then click Star Alliance Award Ticket on the top right to access the search engine for Star Alliance award flights.
Thank you! I never would have figured it out.
Great post Ricky. Just curious as to how hard it is to get the Citi Premier card for Canadian’s with ITIN with a relatively short credit history (3 months)?
Hey Tony
While I believe Citi points are quite valuable, Citi cards are best suited for a mid-game set-up. it’s best to start off with Chase cards because of the 5/24 rule that Chase enforces. It may be difficult to get your first Chase card approved without a history with them so if you can set up a checking account with them it may be easier.
Great post as always Ricky. I just got my Citi Premier approved which puts me at 5/24 so this gives me a great option to maximize my Thankyou points.
