Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! I just want to take a moment to say how grateful I am for this community. Whether you’ve been here for years or just recently found the channel, your support genuinely means a lot to me. Every comment, like, conversation, and even quiet watch helps more than you probably realize.
This past year has been a mix of growth, learning, experimenting, and figuring things out in real time and having people along for that ride makes it all worth it. I’m proud of what we’ve built here, and I’m even more excited about where we’re headed next.
As we head into 2026, I’m looking forward to creating better content, having more real conversations, and continuing to grow this community in a way that actually feels meaningful.
Wishing you a great holiday season! 🎄

On the live with @SpencerJohnsonOfficial tonight where we talked about the Chase devalues, if you weren't able to join I'll have it linked below, someone brought up that Chase will honor Edit "Points Boost" bookings at 2 cents per point when redeeming Ultimate Reward points (Chase points).
We were able to find that information during the live, but I was able to find it after the live and this is what the Chase spokesman said,
"Some of our Chase Travel content marketing the 2x points boost promotion for The Edit remained in market longer than intended. We will proactively honor 2x points value for any customers who book a stay at a property in The Edit through December 22, 2025. Customers will see the points adjustment in their Ultimate Rewards balance."
Here are my thoughts, curious to hear yours:
1. I don't appreciate Chase is gaslighting by saying the Edit's points boost was never intended to be a forever thing and then goes ahead and blames the marketing team; even though it's been up for almost 6 months now and was promoted as 2x when the card refreshed. Kind of scummy in my opinion.
2. Seems like they are giving back points, at 2 cents per point value, if you make a booking before December 22nd (5 days including today 12/17); even if when booking it is less than 2 cents per point (usually 1.65 cents per point now and assuming after 12/22).
So tons of backlash, which is good, don't stop fighting 🥊 But at least we got a little bone. So if you booked using cash instead of points boost but you wanted to take advantage of points boost, now is the time to do so!
~BEFORE DECEMBER 22ND~

Best Rakuten Offer Yet?!
If you haven’t signed up for Rakuten, now is maybe the time to do so.
Rakuten: link.calbyng.com/Rakuten
Right now Rakuten is offering $400 cash back (which can be converted to Amex MR points or Bilt points) if you are a new checking and savings account SoFi member and make an initial direct $500 direct deposit within 45 days.
You’ll also earn (on top of that through SoFi) $50 if you make a direct deposit of $1,000 or you’ll earn $300 if you make a $5,000 direct deposit during the direct deposit bonus period.
Plus if you use my Rakuten referral link you’ll earn $50 when you open a new Rakuten account and spend $50 or more on a qualified offer within 90 days.
There are no account fees, overdraft fees, or account minimums for SoFi.
Unfortunately it seems like direct deposits from not an employer or government entity doesn’t count.
So this seems like an easy way to earn a lot of money for the holiday season for most 🎄So take advantage if you can!

Shoutout to rkshack!
rkshack did a test transaction for online Toast gift cards using the Sapphire Dining credit and it seems like the exact same restaurant I tried to use the Sapphire Dining credit, earlier in the year, on for Toast; does work now.
Sapphire Dining Credit:
https://youtu.be/Kq-Jrj_Lxw4
Seems like Chase has loosen the requirements; as we’ve seen recently, with other random non-Sapphire dining transactions coding towards the credit.
So as of right now it does seem like online Toast gift cards do work 👍 But of course your mileage may vary (YMMV).
Might be a good way to use the credit before the year is over (REMEMBER TO USE YOUR CREDITS!!)
Thanks again rkshack for testing it again!

Today I Re-realized the General Public Does Not See Credit Cards the Way We Do 😅
So we’re planning a local meetup in Knoxville and I had the bright idea to see if the general public would like join. I thought maybe there were some local people who were into credit cards but weren’t subscribed or in the Discord: link.calbyng.com/Discord
However I completely forgot the general public thinks credit cards are scam and debt tools; which if you’re using credit cards the wrong way, I totally understand that perceptive. And I knew this, but I guess I completely forgot and I got chewed out 😂
But if you’re in the Knoxville, TN area, join the Discord, and we’ll have the meetup details in there. Also @AnthonyVenture will be there!!

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 !!
Thanks again for a great year and for 9,035 subscribers! I really appreciate each and every one of you that takes the time to watch my videos, comment and subscribe.
I know a lot of you all are traveling today, I wish you safe travels. My mom is traveling today (50,000 Venture X points to Hong Kong seating in premium economy) she arrived at the airport at 3AM and had to wait 2 hours just to get through the lines 😅
Also remember if anything happens many of your credit cards has trip delay insurance, trip cancellation, baggage delays, lost luggage and emergency dental and medical assistance. And for you all driving, many credit cards have roadside assistance. So, knock on wood, nothing happens, but if they do; remember to take advantage of your benefits!!
I hope you all enjoy your Thanksgiving and can get some good deals on Black Friday!!
