starting now until a month or so
transfer 1000 MR points into 20matmid pnts, usually 1050=15
regular 2way NY TLV 1400 matmid points
1400/20=70*1000 =70000MR
before this special offer
1400/15=93.3*1050=98000MR
approx 28000!!! less points,
given that MR no longer transfer to co or any other airline with straight flights, thats not sucha bad deal for a non stop NY-TLV-NY or vise versa
