My point was that AMEX in the US is much more generous than Israeli CCs... You have to spend a lot more on CAL compared to AMEX to get a free flight.
Take care
I really dont understand your comparison.
From when does Amex convert points to CAL?
I think you are rying to say that in in AMEX, you must spend the equivelence of 315 NIS ($70) to get one LY Matmid point, and in Israel the best conversion rate is 395 NIS with Diners. OK
ON a side note, the best conversion rate in Israel is actually with a GLOBES Platinum Diners cards, the conversion rate is 333 NIS spent = 1 LY Matmid point.
