Major changes to Matmid program - starting Sep 2023
Elal is overhauling its frequent flyer program to be more in line with industry practices. Key changes include:
More information is available on the elal web site.
- Accrual by revenue rather than distance - number of points per USD by member status:
- non elite - 6
- silver - 8
- gold - 9
- platinum - 11
- top plat - 12
- Dynamic pricing replacing award charts
- Status points ("diamonds") determined by flight revenue (1 diamond per USD for members, 1.2 diamonds per USD for FlyCard Premium holders, 1.15 for FlyCard Business holders).
- New elite requirements:
- silver - 3000 diamonds or 2000 diamonds + 6 segments
- gold - 6000 diamonds or 3500 diamonds + 10 segments
- platinum - 12000 diamonds or 7000 diamonds + 20 segments
- top plat - 28000 diamonds or 25000 diamonds + 40 segments
- Point validity - 18 months after most flight activities or spent ILS 5K monthly spend on credit card
- Upgrades - all booking classes will be upgradeable (with dynamic pricing)
