Do you mean that if I go on a trip (paying) on ElAl I can request AA mileage instead of Matmid points? Is it equivalent to the mileage you get on an AA flight?
Yes. But it depends on what class you're booked in.

In general, that is a great idea, I flew with my family on ElAL, then flew on them for free with the miles that we credited to AA, bought Elal "tickets" on AA. If we would have gotten Matmid on the first flights, we would have earned 5 and a half points which expire after a month (exaggeration but you get the idea)

How do you know which economy flights on LY's website can be booked by calling AA and using AA miles?

Also if the AA rep anyway can look up the flights on El Al whats the point of searching ourselves?

Does EF or KVS charge to become a member and use their search tools etc..?

If your miles about to expire, why not at least buy some vouchers.
If you have any questions please search and then ask. PM me for detailed help.
