From Air France Flying Blue Gold
To Turkish Airlines Miles and Smiles Elite

I went through the normal process, was matched and given a challenge to collect 15,000 status miles on Turkish Airlines International flights. I met the challenge during the first membership year, but they mysteriously downgraded me to Classic Plus at the end of the year. I sent them several complaints outlining the fact that I met their challenge on the type of flights they required and within the one year challenge period.

They just ignored my complaints and never responded.

It is a big scam. Don’t do it.
