Best new card for cheaper Hotel stay in Israel

[Judahhakohain]

Hi.  I wasn't able to jump on the Chase Sapphire 100,000 pt. intro rate so I have not applied for any new card as of yet.  Is there a hotel card that would stand out for a two week trip to Jerusalem?  Hyatt, Hilton, etc?  I'd prefer to not have a ridiculous spending threshold.  Thank you!

We get it, you're trying to police the forums. Except you're coming across as rude, sarcastic, and insensitive.

Chill out.

I don't see you or Emkay offering any advice either....

That's exactly the point. I had nothing nice or constructive to say to OP so I said nothing.

Really? You know nothing about booking hotel stays with points or signing up for credit cards?

Me knowing a little bit about credit cards does not compel me to respond to each and every new thread asking questions about credit cards. And someone opening a new thread  certainly does not compel you to put on your Sheriff Hat and run around sarcastically castigating them for doing so.

At what point am I allowed to get fed up with the state of the forum that I've put a lot of time and effort into (nowhere near the amount that you and others have put but still)? I actually do respond to a lot of noob questions on here and I usually try to be pretty helpful but when someone opens a thread like this without doing any research and not even giving enough information for someone to give them a good answer then I get a little upset. I do agree that my original response was insensitive and probably not warranted but I don't think I'm the only one who feels this way.

You've spent a fraction of the amount of time I've spent on here. Eventually you'll realize, like I have, that the threads that aren't unique, are repetitive, or fail to add value will be ignored and get buried under unique, helpful threads.

Just as in capitalism, businesses that offer unique products and add value thrive. The ones that do not are relegated to the dust of history.

I know that I'm relatively new here, I mentioned that.
While it may have been the case a while ago that useless threads got ignored and we're buried by useful threads, that isn't true anymore with the number of new threads started either by noobs or for useless amazon deals, you have to scroll through many threads to find the ones that are useful or provide useful information. I'm not blaming any one person but I think many of the "old timers" who had a lot of value to add to this forum have left or don't post much anymore. That's totally their prerogative but don't try to pretend that this forum is the same as it was "back in the day."

His point was that there's no need to be snarky. One of the most useful threads on these forums is the beginners thread where many ppl spend a lot of time and have a lot of patience for all the noob questions ppl ask. When someone starts an unnecessary thread either simply link them to the appropriate thread or to the beginners thread there's no reason to be nasty we were all noobs once, and I still am one:)

I agree, I already said I shouldn't have posted what I did.
