Transferring points - how?
 
I would like to transfer 200 points to my daughter so she can get a luggage voucher. When I go into the "transfer points" section, I see in Hebrew:

ניתן להעביר נקודות מחשבון לחשבון רק במידה וקיים מבצע להעברת נקודות
מחשבון לחשבון בתוקף או במידה והנך משוייך לתכנית החיילים והמשוחררים
במועדון הנוסע המתמיד.

Is there a special deal to transfer points these days? If I can't transfer points can I issue a luggage voucher in her name?

Thanks!

Hi,

Currently, there aren't any special deals allowing for transferring membership points, but I'll look into the voucher option and get back to you.

when it was available, it costs you money per point to transfer + a fixed fee.
not worth it.
just do it before the flight - on line checkin for 85$

You could issue a luggage voucher but you will have to accompany her on the flight, so I'm not sure that would be preferable for you.

It's nice to see how engaged the EL AL Rep is lately!

I never paid attention to that - when one does online checkin (she doesn't have MATMID) - where is the option to request to pay for a 2nd suitcase?

Hi Liat,
I want to make sure I understand.
If I fly with someone without status and points.
Can I buy him a voucher and then I get 2
Bags because of status and he gets the second because of my voucher?
Thanks

if you are silver and above the option to buy a voucher is disabled in your account management.
so maybe you can do it if you phone the call center, but you cannot do it on the website.

Not sure I understand your question.
You can issue a voucher to the other person, however they can only use it in case you're flying with them.

I tried to do this today, called the call center, asked them to issue a luggage vaucher from a SL to a TL travelling with them.
They say it's impossible.

Liat, can you please check this again?
