Turkish Airlines Miles and Smiles Returns Report: Match

Sent a "feedback" requesting status match. Within 7 days I received the first reponse, asking for my passport, FB card and statement from FB for the flights from last 2 months. Another 9 days later received second response, asking again for the 2 months statement in pdf as I have sent previously screenshots. Called FB service line, asked for the statement, received it within 15 minutes, sent it to Turkish Airlines, then called the Miles and Smiles hotline to ask for an urgent reply as my flight with TK was in 2 days time, received the confirmation 30 minutes later: We’re pleased to inform you that as of July 12th 2022, the status of your membership. has been raised to Elite.
