Cal Visa Screwing me on ELAL points
« on: May 09, 2018, 10:57:46 AM »
Hi All

I have a Cal "Business" Credit Card in Israel which I first got about 7 years ago.  Over this time period, I have spent hundreds of thousands of shekels on merchandise.  I wanted to transfer my Cal Points to my ElAl Matmid account.  On the phone, they said that they can only transfer points moving forward from today which screws me on all the money I spend until now on the card. 

I called AMEX and they transferred all points immediately from the time I received the card.  Cal said this is not possible as I just requested to use points for Matmid now.  They said I get general benefits like 2 for 1 movie tickets.

How can I deal with Cal here in Israel to get the airline points I deserve?

TIA

As if that mattered with an Israeli company... :)

In small claims court it will matter.
