Stupid or sour grapes.

I know what Chase Sapphire is trying to with this (and similar) commercials. Obviously using points that have no blackouts and restrictions, even at the last minute during Christmas, is impressive. So impressive that remarkable occurrences, like spending the holidays with Chevy Chase, are supposed to seem pale in comparison. It's a good idea, but I don't think it works. It makes the neighbors seem either stupid or so jealous they are unwilling to acknowledge the unique experience of their friends. Yes, I get the the point of the commercial is exaggeration; but, sorry, I like a certain amount of logic even with exaggerations.
