Turkish Airlines Miles and Smiles Returns Report: Match

I successfully matched from BA Gold to Turkish Elite in May 2024. The match involved filling out the online form (https://feedback.turkishairlines.com/en) with the message: "I would like to request a status match to Elite level from OneWorld Emerald / British Airways Executive Club Gold. I attach a copy of my passport and gold card." They asked for "A statement for the same membership showing your flights for the previous two months". I sent them both my BA and LH flight history (given relevant for Star Alliance). 24 hours later they informed me "...as of 21/05/2024, the status of your membership TKXXXXXXXXX has been raised to Elite". It came with the known conditions such as 1 international TK flight within 4 months etc. I did fulfil that first condition (so was extended by 1 year), but I was not going to reach 15,000 Status Miles flying TK. Instead, I fulfilled the normal conditions to reach Elite of 40,000 Status miles on any carrier (mostly LH, AC, and TP). My status was then extended a full further 2 years as a consequence; my card now expires in 05/2027.
