I'm no expert, but I think the Israeli market has far less competition than the American one.
I do not have statistics to back it up, but I feel that Israelis prefer to use other methods for payments - cash mostly. And even when using CC they tend not to check their options and simply go with the card that they got from their bank. Again, this observation is my own.
That being said, and although I do feel there are differences between the two markets, it is weird to think the differences are THAT big. I mean, seriously, with the best ratio in the market (Leumi Multi-Platinum) you get a 1000 MP miles after about 2100$ in spend. That's ridiculous.
