Statement from HAS Advantage Founder & CEO, Zev Dobuler
Dear Former HAS Advantage Cardholders,
Several weeks ago, I sent an email updating you that HAS filed a $20.8MM lawsuit against EL AL for breaching multiple agreements. Unfortunately, the breaching of these agreements led HAS to close its doors in April 2014. Since then, US Bank has issued all former HAS Advantage cardholders a new credit card with a US Bank Rewards Program. In response to my update, I received dozens of heartfelt responses from former cardholders. I was truly touched by everyone's best wishes. More importantly, I was touched by how many of you said that you will miss HAS, our customer service, donating to charity, Double Points and the overall great feeling you had when using your HAS Advantage Card. HAS has been my life for the past 13 years and your warm wishes mean a lot. |
In addition, many cardholders had questions with regard to the current program. To answer these questions, we have set up a Frequently Asked Questions page on our website. We hope these FAQs will answer the majority of your questions. Below is a sample of some of the questions we answer on the FAQ Page.
1. Does my card still work?
2. Am I still earning points?
3. Do I still have my HAS points
4. Can I transfer my points to EL AL?
5. Are points that I transferred to EL AL in the past still valid?
6. Am I still earning Double Points?
7. Can I still get discounts at HAS Discount Merchants in Israel?
8. Does my US Bank card support charity in Israel?
9. Is there any other Card I can use that supports Israel?
10. My card has a picture of the Kotel or an American and Israeli flag on it? Is this a HAS Advantage card or US Bank issued card?
11. Why am I just learning about this now?
12. Where can I learn more about the HAS lawsuit?
I hope we are able to answer your questions. The FAQ page will be updated as new and relevant questions come in. Please visit us on Facebok for additional updates. I want to thank you for your membership and hope that one day, we can work together again.
With Admiration and Love of Israel,
Zev Dobuler
HAS Founder & CEO
