Why Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles are worth what they are

Miles&Smiles miles are valued at 1.1 to 1.3 cents each in September 2026, the lowest range among the Star Alliance programs tracked here. The published figure is dragged down by the program's booking friction: partner awards often cannot be booked online and require calls, emails or a ticket office visit, and results vary by agent. Members who pushed through that process once found the cheapest Star Alliance awards anywhere, but Turkish raised partner prices in February 2024 and again in December 2025.

Capital One, Citi ThankYou and Bilt transfer in at 1:1, so a member can top up for a specific award rather than hold a balance. Miles expire three years after they are earned, at the end of the year, regardless of activity, which puts a firm deadline on any large balance.
