We have seen a number of enjoyable promotions not too long ago for incomes a number of miles and even typically elite standing after conducting attention-grabbing challenges.

For instance, a couple of days in the past, we wrote about how one can earn as much as 350,000 JetBlue TrueBlue factors and Mosaic elite standing for 25 years if you happen to fly to 25 JetBlue locations. Now, Turkish Miles&Smiles is coming into the scene with its personal promotion.
