Turkish Airlines just dropped a rare promotion that allows Miles&Smiles members to buy miles with up to a 100% bonus.

This sale ends on December 22, 2026, and it could be a great way for savvy travelers to stock up on some underrated miles at a great price.

This deal won’t make sense for everyone, so let’s take a look at the details to see if it makes sense for you.

Rare Turkish Miles&Smiles Sale — Details

Turkish Airlines is currently running a sale on purchased miles, which can earn you up to a 100% bonus of Miles&Smiles miles. This sale runs through 11:59 p.m. Türkiye local time (GMT+3) on December 22, 2025. That’s 10 a.m. ET in the U.S.

The bonus varies depending on how many miles you purchase:

  • Buy 10,000 to 50,000 miles and get a 25% bonus
  • Buy 50,001 to 100,000 miles and get a 50% bonus
  • Buy 100,001 to 250,000 miles and get a 100% bonus

If you were to maximize this offer and purchase 250,000 miles, you would walk away with 500,000 miles for a total cost of $7,500. That brings the per-mile cost down to 1.5 cents.

Some fine print to be aware of includes:

  • All Miles&Smiles members are eligible for this promotion.
  • Sale ends December 22, 2025.
  • Members may buy miles multiple times during the campaign period. However, the bonus miles rate is calculated separately for each transaction. Separate transactions cannot be combined.
  • Miles do not count towards elite status.
  • The maximum number of miles purchased per year is 250,000.
  • Not valid when gifting miles.
  • Purchased miles cannot be refunded.
  • Campaign dates are based on Türkiye local time (GMT+3).

Any purchased miles should be credited to your account within 7 days of the purchase date, so keep that in mind if you have an award ticket you’re wanting to book quickly.

Should You Buy Turkish Miles With a 100% Bonus?

We value Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles miles at 1.3 cents each, meaning you would be buying them for more than what we generally think they are worth. However, with the right redemption in mind, this sale could easily be worth taking advantage of.

Despite a recent devaluation, there are still plenty of Turkish sweet spots out there.

For example, you could fly from Chicago (ORD) to Istanbul (IST) for just 65,000 miles each way.

This flight often sells for more than $4,000 each way. However, with the current promotion, you could buy the necessary miles for just $975, scoring you an incredible discount.

Even better, if you have Bilt Rewards, Capital One miles, Citi ThankYou Rewards, or Marriott Bonvoy points, you can transfer them directly to Miles&Smiles. That means you may not need to buy miles at all.

Hot Tip:

All stocked up on miles? Here are the best ways to redeem Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles Miles for maximum value.
