Change to Matmid rules from 1.2.2019

The Hebrew LY website states that there will be a change to the rules from 1.2.2019.
BUT
All links seem to be broken.

I can see one change on the website - the lounges in the UP destinations will be free for KD members.

Yes, except no KD lounge due to flights departing from T1.

Looking through all the changes I'm trying to make sense of it all, but in true LY style it's a mess.

What I do understand is that redemption on ex UP destinations are doubling trebling in price, despite still departing from T1 offering inferior service and lower operational costs to the airline. Also, why on earth isn't there a fixed redemption price according to zones like there used to be? Why is Prague considerably more expensing to redeem for than Budapest?

Looking through the rules I also realise how badly they have downgraded GL status over the years, and now it seems worse than ever.

Matmid which I used to love, has become such a mess and such a horrible program.

Changes vanished

The links to the new changes of February 2019 have vanished from the LY website in Hebrew.

So maybe we will have changes and maybe not.
