Sell El Al Matmid Points for Cash
Yes, you can sell your EL AL Matmid points for cash. Matmid points, earned through EL AL Israel Airlines’ frequent flyer program, can be difficult to redeem for real value given the airline’s limited partner network, and they expire after 36 months of account inactivity. At The Miles Market, we buy your Matmid points directly, with same-day payment and no obligation until you accept the offer.
What Is the EL AL Matmid Program?
Matmid is the frequent flyer program of EL AL Israel Airlines, based at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv and flying to more than 50 destinations across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America. The program has six membership tiers, from entry-level Matmid Club Benefits through Silver, Golden, Platinum, Top Platinum, and Executive Circle, offering perks like flight upgrades, priority waitlisting, El Al lounge access in Israel, and preferential ground service at higher tiers.
Unlike most major airline programs, Matmid points are earned based on how much you spend on your ticket, not how many miles you fly. Cardholders with an Israeli-issued FLY CARD earn an additional 10% bonus on points, FLY CARD Premium holders earn 20%, and Executive Circle members earn a further 20% bonus on premium cabin flights.
Important: EL AL has a limited number of partner airlines, which means there are very few ways to redeem Matmid points for meaningful value outside the in-house program itself.
Why Sell Your EL AL Matmid Points for Cash?
Beat the 36-Month Expiration Clock
Matmid points and miles expire 36 months after the date of the last qualifying activity on your account. Points not earned from a flight booking expire 36 months from the transaction date. Once they expire, they cannot be reinstated, so an inactive balance is a balance on a countdown.
Redemption Options Are Genuinely Limited
EL AL’s partner network is smaller than most major carriers, which means Matmid points mostly only have real value if you’re specifically planning to fly EL AL or redeem through their in-house program. If that doesn’t match your travel plans, the points have little practical path to value.
Your Travel Plans Have Changed
If you’re no longer flying EL AL regularly, or your travel has shifted to a different airline or region entirely, a Matmid balance with no realistic redemption path is better converted to cash than left to expire unused.
Cash Gives You Complete Flexibility
Matmid points work only within EL AL’s limited network. Cash works everywhere, on any airline, any cabin, any schedule.
