I sent an email to: mailto:Tier@elal.co.il And asked for status match of my silver Ba to Elal. They responded me very quickly with Gold for 6 months. Congratulations! Your account has been upgraded to the status of Gold for 6 months. Accumulation of 500 points during the next six months will give you a renewal of your status for an additional year . If the number of points required to maintain status is not achieved, your status will be determined in accordance with the new half-year end accumulation. A Gold kit will be sent to the address updated in your account.
