Any sense of what is the $ value of a matmid point?

Tough question, I'd say 50-70¢

I have no idea, but you'll get an email just when you start to forget about it. ;)

They just emailed me back offering us each a free roundtrip or 3800 Shekel compensation.

Just flew back from MXP-TLV and on the flight they announced it was a codeshare with AA. Even though their partnership is officially over, and I booked the RT on LY and the ticket was issued on LY, any chance to claim the miles on AA? If so, is it only possible for the return and not for the outbound (in which the pilot did not announce it as a codeshare with AA)

They still have an interline agreement. That does not mean you can earn miles.

Most likely the free flight, provided there aren't too many restrictions.

Just got notification that TLV-YYZ on Aug 15 is switched to Privileged so they're still doing it.

Just bought a ticket with AA that stops in CDG and then shows an AA flight number "Operated by EL AL" to and from TLV.  Does anyone know if AA counts miles for these flights because it was purchased from AA and has an AA flight number?
Also, does anyone know if the ELAL part would invalidate the fly to Europe promotion? (On the phone they said it counts for the promo, but I also emailed them and they said it wouldn't. That would be unfair.)

They have given me a hard time with two bags, but have never actually stopped me. They just say something about "next time you can only bring one carry-on".

You won't earn AA miles on the LY part, though can prob earn QF.

Would be surprised if the phone rep is correct
