					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s important to note a few things:
1. The card is more generous in mile earnings than any other card on the Israeli market.
2. You have to be a Bank Leumi banking customer to get this card. This will limit adoption as many people will balk at switching banks just for a credit card.
3. In terms of annual fee, the price is discounted by 50% for the second cardholder (i.e. your spouse) so it might actually come out ahead on that compared to the US card.
4. This card is likely the result of the spinoff of the credit card companies in Israel from the banks, forcing Bank Leumi at least to come up with this offering which is unique among Israeli credit cards.

I switched my banking to Leumi yesterday to get this card. The clerks did not yet know about it.
Will see how it goes]]></description>

You&#039;re right, I t stand corrected. Not sure why they&#039;re doing this unless they think this is such a niche product that they&#039;d rather use it to drive what are presumably high-value banking customers than for any actual revenues they make from the cards.]]></description>

Yeah, but I give them credit for opening up the possibility of getting 2 United Club passes.  El Al should match this benefit, which would give the uninitiated a taste of what they&#039;re missing out on and probably result in more business.]]></description>

Swipe fees, FX fees, and annual fees on the cards.  Also, interest from the rarer cases when people choose to split the charge into fixed monthly payments with interest (the equivalent of Citi FlexPay/My Chase Plan).  Some cards actually do let you revolve, but not all and it&#039;s something that has to be activated manually.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Why did you compare the new United Israeli card against the US version &#038; showing that the US card is the winner; of course the US market offers more because of the competition.
You should compare the United Israeli new card against the Elal Israeli credit card,  the market the are competing with is basically the Israeli residents. (Yes, you have a bunch of readers that have double citizenship like me, but the main market is the Israeli citizens.)]]></description>

In every respect.

The banks in Israel close at 1:30 4 days a week.
They are very busy and not interested in helping their customers.
Their banking apps and websites are slow, and full of bugs and glitches.
They make it nearly impossible for even a visa carrying foreigner to open an account.

The list goes on and on...]]></description>

I&#039;m not sure they&#039;re locked in anymore. The Fly Card Preferred has officially been shutdown as of this month, with US Bank not even offering to product change it (I posted about this in the pertinent thread when I found out).  Rumors from my sources indicate that they are actively seeking to offer a new U.S. market card in its place, with better terms.  We&#039;ll see what happens on 9/1 with the new Matmid, but as of now, the Israeli Fly Card Premium will offer the closest earn in Israel to what U.S. airline CCs offer (1 mile per 4 shekels, or 1 per 3 for foreign charges).  At current exchange rates, that&#039;s getting very close to 1 mile per $1 (and even higher than that for foreign charges), impressive for Israel.  The joker card will be what the new redemption tables look like, which will determine the true value of the new miles vs. those of U.S. airlines.

Also, Amex Israel will be multiplying the existing transfer ratio by 50, which means the Amex Platinum will earn 1:4.8 shekels or 1:2.4 shekels for eligible 2X charges (Google/Apple Pay charges + foreign charges).  So we are now seeing the equivalent of about 1.6:$1 for the 2X charges, which would be exceedingly competitive for the Israeli market if El Al miles have a similar value to other airlines.

Thanks for the HT!!!]]></description>

I think the point was, would it pay for an American to finagle getting an Israeli United card, and the answer is no. 
Another issue is, remember, Israel cards don&#039;t go for the &quot;it wasn&#039;t exactly what I wanted, so reverse the charges&quot; kind of thing.]]></description>

It&#039;s not like you can even get the old card.When does the current contract run through? 

If they do it right I think it can be the #1 card on this site.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is comparing apples and oranges. The credit card system in Israel is vastly different than the United States, for better and for worse. Annual fees are a given on almost any card (these can be negotiated if you have a high income or high spend) and perks are almost non-existent. The typical Israeli who already pays for a credit card and gets no perks will see this as a great option considering the alternatives available. Israelis don&#039;t have the ability to sign up for the bonus filled credit cards that Americans do. I would be more interested in seeing a comparison against ElAl cards in Israel or the like.]]></description>
