Options for EL Al miles that will be accrued?
Will fly El AL for the first time and not sure if we may again.
Flying one way premEcon, Business on return. Actual miles EWR-TLV are 5660 but not sure if I should open a matted act and accrue the miles there or
maybe to a partner airline (which I am one to).
What would be most advantageous?

The only other options are Aerolineas, Alaska and Qantas. You can see the earnings based on fare class at wheretocredit.com
And compare that to what you would get directly with Matmid. If you're not going to be flying much with El Al choose one of the others

you’re a gentleman and a scholar. Likely more useful on Alaska or QF. I’ll report back.

So turns out we are booked both ways in Z.
whereto credit lists Alaska with RDM and 3 tiers at different values and Qantas as zoned based. Im not sure how to interpret any of this.
Where would I get the most value for earning over 10,000 miles round trip in business?

When credited to AS, LY flights earn according to the following table:

How do you add the Alaska number to an elal flight? Can't find option online and customer service is difficult to get through.
