Here's a look at some of your options.
Eastern U.S. to Istanbul for 28,000 miles
You can book a non-stop flight from several hubs in the eastern U.S. for just 28,000 miles one-way in economy. For a long-haul flight, this is a solid price. Plus, there's no lack of availability. It's hard to throw a rock without hitting economy availability in the range of dates included in this promotion.
Istanbul to South Africa for 24,500 miles
Once you're done exploring Istanbul, you can take a non-stop flight to Johannesburg, South Africa, for just 24,500 miles. Enjoy the warm weather, go on a safari, or simply explore a new city for just a couple dozen miles.
U.S. to Singapore for 52,500 miles
If you want to really max out this promotion, travel as far as you possibly can. For instance, you can fly from Dallas (DFW) to Singapore (SIN) with a layover in Istanbul (IST) for just 52,500 miles. That's 31 hours of travel for less than a standard credit card welcome bonus.
