Looks like Turkish Airlines is now selective to whom is eligible for a straight challenge or whom should do a flight prior to a challenge itself - here is a response received after applying this week: "Thank you for choosing Miles&Smiles, the frequent flyer program which offers a whole world of benefits. So that we can fulfill your request to match your membership status to Elite and offer you a truly special flight experience, you should have an at least one Turkish Airlines filght that have been recorded to your Miles&Smiles account. You can reapply after your flights are completed and registered to your account. We look forward to bringing you all the benefits that Miles&Smiles has to offer. Sincerely Yours," Make it make sense!

They replied on 8/14/2025 and gave me Platinum status until 12/31/2026. "We appreciate your interest in upgrading your elite status. I have successfully upgraded you to Choice Privileges Platinum Elite, the highest elite status that we provide from our status match program. Your elite status is valid only until December 31, 2026. If this is removed prior to the stated date, please contact us for assistance."

They replied with the match in about FOUR HOURS!!!!! 4 months Elite, extended to a year if I fly once with Turkish then to 2 years if I get 15,000 status points. None of which I will be able to achieve unfortunately.

I provided my account details and proof of my current status. I received a reply from Hertz informing me that I am not eligible for the status match because I had already taken advantage of a status match within the past five years. Therefore, my request was denied.
