A LoyaltyLobby reader from Kuwait forwarded us an email that they had received from Turkish Airlines today announcing this extension, which is marked as “ELITE PLUS STATUS PROTECTION ENABLED”.

It is great that Turkish Airlines decided to extend the reader’s tier already, even when it was due for renewal in August.
