Replace that with why

My parents won a magnum of champagne when they won the game on their Hawaiian honeymoon in the 80s, which they wound up giving to a front desk agent who let them stay in their room until flight time.
Replace the first won with received, it's over over-usage of won.
The sentence is too long.
Try: My parents received a magnum of champagne when they won the game on their Hawaiian honeymoon in the 80s. They wound up giving to a front desk agent who in turn let them stay in their room until flight time.

"President Trump’s position has been that it’s up to each state to set their own rules. I’d assume that will continue should he win reelection. Will Mr. Biden try to implement nationwide restrictions or even a nationwide lockdown if he is elected president? Will the courts even allow for a nationwide lockdown?"

Biden will probably return to the Pandemic Playbook developed by the previous administration and ignored by the current one.  That emphasized that a response should be developed at the federal, state and local levels, with  coordination between them, rather than Trump's requirement that each state go it alone. 

You seem to be suggesting that a nationwide response would entail identical rules throughout the country.  A coordinated response would more likely entail the feds coming up with guidance for when to mask, when to lockdown, etc, and work with the states on how to tailor those guidelines for their particular situation.

"The (Pandemic Playbook) guide further calls for a “unified message” on the federal response, in order to best manage the American public's questions and concerns. “Early coordination of risk communications through a single federal spokesperson is critical,” the playbook urges."

So following the Playbook, I would expect that rather than "Fire Fauci", we will be hearing regular messages from Dr. Fauci or other respected medical and public health experts.

Banks, airlines, consumers.

The El Al card will earn 1 point for every $40 spent on everyday items and 3 points per dollar for every $40 spent on El Al tickets. Yup, just try to wrap your head around that…

I think you're trying to say they give 3 points per $40, not 3 points per dollar.

If I were new El Al controlling shareholder Eli Rozenberg I would burn Matmid down to the ground...

Quite a mouthful, maybe something like this.

However going forward only El Al cardholders will have access to that discount due to the end of AMEX point transfers to El Al.

Just pointing out, that the old Has Advantage card from usbank, still transfers to Elal, (after not doing so for a while)

[Lurker]

This may be a very stupid question, because I don't know the mileage game at all, but why don't you just apply a 40x multiplier to figure out comparative value? It makes their program easier to understand, and the lack of value more plain to see.

Card Spend Values:
800 point sign up bonus = 32k points
1/40 point per $ for reg spend = 1 pt/$
3/40 point per $ for El Al spend = 3pts/$

Redemption Values:
Exec NYC-TLV, Econ: 64k-70,400
Exec NYC-TLV, Bus: 204k
Non-exec NYC-TLV, Econ: 80k-88k
Non-exec NYC-TLV, Bus: 240k

Miles Per Flight Cost:
Matmid: 4 pts/$ spent
SL-TP: 5.7 pts/$ spent

Ignore me if this makes no sense.

This is the first time I actually (sort of, almost) understood one of these points posts, because I had filled out the Fly Card application a few hours ago for my mother.  I had suggested that she wait, because I knew a fellow who'd probably post some advice about this soon, but I'm not so convincing when I argue for the value of procrastination. 

Now that I read your post, I'm still not sure whether the card was worthwhile.  She uses a Chase card for the ticket, but thought the Fly Card would be a way to quickly get the points needed for an upgraded seat or a more-space seat on ElAl.  Maybe I have to read a few more times to figure this out.  Anyway, a few other thoughts:

Paragraph Unlike most...
Second sentence sounds like business-school-speak ("disincentives"?), while I think your audience is regular people.
Re: Israel.  I would guess that at least some of your readers fly mostly between the US and Israel, so this restriction isn't a hardship for them.  And some have Israeli citizenship and could enter now.  It would be helpful to have your view on whether or not the card is worthwhile for people who fall into those categories (as my mother does).

Next paragraph, on saver level tickets... I don't know what these are, so would be helpful to have definition.  But really I think this paragraph could be omitted. It seems to fall into the category of "things I'm annoyed with ElAl for", and interrupts the train of thought on "what's wrong with this credit card program".

Paragraph But ElAL has announced... Mixing AMEX here and in the next paragraphs is confusing for the novice.  Can you carry on with all the new stuff first "El Al has announced launch of Fly Card", 800 points, $3000, 20% off, etc, that is, give the details of the Fly Card, and then after that, summarize the impact of this on those who've been doing whatever it is with AMEX until now.

Table is clear, but I don't know what "Executives" are.  Or non-Executives, for that matter.

Paragraph You also have to take into account... also seems to interrupt the train of thought with the calculations, and could be omitted here. Maybe put at the end, with the $99 annual fee.

where each point earned is worth 1.5 cents or more each,

The second "each" is extra

ETA JMHO
Maybe take both out and put "every" instead of the first "each"?

[Joeymc]

On the El Al card you would need $70,400 in spending for an El Al coach ticket or $204,000 in spending for an El Al business class ticket and you would still need to pony up some $350 in El Al fuel surcharges and taxes.

Should probably break up the sentence.

Also, do you have to say El Al 4 times? Maybe you can take out the last one

and you would still need to pony up some $350 in fuel surcharges and taxes.

@Dan only seeing this now.
Can you post what type of feedback you want?
I often pick at sentence structure and commas, and I don't think that's what you necessarily want.
