I'd be very grateful for your advice and tips - as a total Matmid novice!
Just be sure you have a Matmid account that is registered to a U.S. address. Then, transfer over 5000 Amex MR (should convert to 100 El Al Matmid). Within a day or two, your account should reflect "Executive Circle" status, thus entitling you to the redemption discounts. Enjoy!
