all i know that in Israel and expats living around the globe a majority of them will only fly with Elal period, they practically speaking dont care about the price

Re: HAS
Dan, did you discuss the way LY treated the HAS customers who had no recourse to a solution to use their points on LY (except for 1% cashout)-no warning was given on this. One day those points had value and the next they didn't....

LY maintains that HAS violated their agreement, therefore it's too bad on them.

The irony is that those were some of El Al's most loyal customers, but they don't see it like that.

You're 100% right
What did HAS do to violate their agreement? (if you can say)

They could learn a few lessons from DL.

Today I received an email from DL regarding a refund for an error on their part when I
did a recent booking and they threw in an extra $100 voucher as a courtesy without asking.

This current booking is still a present from DL for the Priceline glitch of last yr-At that time they gave me $900 in vouchers on the 1st day of the glitch and a few days later they honored the priceline booking as well.   

I call it the gift that keeps on giving.

Dead in the water.
New cobrand card launching immanently.
He didn't tell you that the cobrand would be with usbank? You really had no clue that they wouldn't allow you to use the HAS points?
Doesn't it make sense, that if they are planning to do business with usbank, then they need to makeup with the previous usbank customers and allow those holding HAS/USBANK POINTS to redeem them? I almost listened to what you said that its dead in the water.

According to the Elal guy, Has WAS dead in the water.

Obviously, he was wrong.

DROPR  ::)
Meant to be a joke, should've posted it here

The commenter is so sure Dan doesn't know what the heck he's talking about because... the rep clearly told him.

Thats one of the funniest/stupidest comments.

Try calling Flying Blue and asking the reps about Amex MR transfers.
