Turkish Airlines is offering a limited time 25% off discount on all domestic flights and to select international destinations. The 25% off discount applies to Miles&Smiles round-trip and one-way award tickets, companion tickets and upgrades on all Turkish airlines capacity controlled and seat guaranteed all economy and business reservation classes. The discount applies to tickets issued for travels between 1 January – 31 January 2013.
Award Chart
The Turkish Airlines capacity controlled award ticket table is pictured below. One-way award tickets are priced out at 60% of a round-trip flight. So assume you wanted to go from Turkey to Hong Kong one-way in Business Class. The flight would require 31,500 (70,000 x 60% x 75%) miles. This would save 10,500 miles off the normal one-way Business Class award ticket.

Bottom Line
Nice little discount on award tickets. But the main problem for some U.S. based flyers is without a partnership with SPG, American Express Membership Rewards, or Chase Ultimate Rewards, how do you earn Miles & Smiles airline miles without flying or crediting miles to the program?
I do see they partner with Hilton and Best Western hotels as well as a number of car rentals agencies.

I don’t think you can transfer points from Hilton but earn them for a stay. I might be wrong since I have never actually tried it before.
