If I have an Amex platinum does it include spg platinum or does it just upgrade an existing regular spg account?

I got the price mistake tickets on ElAl and I changed the ticket for $75 to go direct each way. Anyone have any idea if I would be able to earn American Airline points with this ticket. I am a member with Matmid but would rather receive AA miles. Thanks!

Dan, im pretty sure they just pulled the offer. The link that was working 10 minutes ago, now reroutes to another page. Also when I called a elal rep a half hour ago, she put me on hold and then told me to hurry because it ends at 12am Israel time. I think you should update that its dead, so that people dont rush to transfer expecting the bonus. I put my order in 3 minutes before the deadline. Hope it works

@DealsSeeker: Good question. @Chana: With the Plat card access 1 card gets your whole family in.

Platnum card club access: The club card seems to be only for the card holder. All others must pay $27 each to get in. a) For $175 I can add 3 AU to the cc and get 3 more lounge passes. correct? b)any way to get the whole family in?

Dan, I know you have individual trip reports.. but do you have a compilation of what business and first class look like on each airline/airplane you have flown ?

Just signed up from the Matmid club link posted! (I tried to do this before, but they wanted money– I don’t know how you do it).

If I just flew El Al last week, can I add these miles to the matmid club?

When I booked with American they and asked to go from Miami to tlv with stop over in JFK , and asked if I don’t use the Miami leg they said will cancel the whole trip. I asked to just put Miami only on return they Said can only do if you leave from Miami
So how do you get the 2 bonus flights

So you say that one still gets the lounge access with the Amex Platinum card until the card expires even if you cancel, what about SPG Gold Status, do you get to keep that and for how long? Thanks!

I just transfered over 90,000 points from AMEX to ELAL. I thought I get the ratio of 29 to 1, I got much less than I expected. What is the actual change ratio and why is it so misleading on the ELAL website?

if I transfer 100k miles from 1 Acc. And 20k from another acc. To 1 Matmid Acc. Would I get 30% Bonus on the 20k or only 20% Bonus ?

Dan – thanks. So if I downgrade my Platinum card I can still use it for lounge access? Is that an official perk or just that the lounge staff doesn’t run the card?
