that your revised disclosure only indicates that you will be subject to such regulations.
Answer:
We have added additional comments
With
respect to your number of Users, Merchants, and Charities, and GivBux Associates in the chart on page 4, please provide the information
as of the most recently practicable date. If you cannot provide this information for any date more recent than September 30, 2024, please
revise to state as much and explain why. Additionally, we note that there have been no changes in your number of Users, Merchants, and
Charities between June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024. Please revise to explain why there have been no changes and advise whether there
have been any changes in the number of GivBux Associates.

We have made the changes We have not increased the number of retailers and the number of active retailers remains at 258

fee program is currently implemented. In this light, we note your response to another portion of this comment that states “[t]hey

on the subscription revenue they generate

Mr
Singh was not available from Oct 19-27 due to a brief leave of absence for medical reasons. The time he was unavailable was in our opinion
not significant, therefore we did not file a 8-K. At no time was the company without leadership. We required Umesh’s signature
on October 25, 2024 so we advised the SEC why Mr Thompson was signing. Immediately after the notification of October 25, 2024 Mr Singh
was available so no further action was taken on our part

Item
1. Business
General
Background of the Company, page 4
We
note your amended disclosure in response to prior comment 1. Please revise to address the following:
●
Revise to define the activities that your app tracks, including “Black Card activity, Gas Card activity, Rewards, Earned, GivBux
purchased/received, GivBux donation rewards as well as donations sent, GivBux history and transfer history.”
RESPONSE
The
GivBux App tracks all of the users activities of purchases, Black Card purchases, Gas Card Purchases, Rewards earned, Invitations sent,
Purchases of GivBux, Historical transfers to other users of GivBux, Historical transactions of GivBux received, donations sent on a user’s
behalf as well as account balances.
●
Please revise your statement that “[i]n the next quarter (4th qtr 2024) there will be a greater focus on recruiting more local
Merchants which will increase the buying selection of our users and decrease our dependence on National Brands,” to reflect current
information.
Revised
●
Elaborate further on the effects that the regulations you have identified have had or will have on your business.
Revised
●
With respect to your number of Users, Merchants, and Charities, please confirm that such numbers reflect current Users, Merchants and
Charities as of such date, and do not include any Users, Merchants and Charities that are no longer active.
The
number of users and merchants are current as per our records.
●
Elaborate on the status of your beta testing.
As
stated we are currently in a Beta Testing phase as we are preparing for a full rollout. The total system is being tested by the sales
associate team in order to work out any bugs. This includes the registration of new associates, transferring of funds from users bank
accounts to the GivBux app, payment and calculation of commissions along with improvements to the onboarding of independent retailers.
●
We note that a portion of the marketing fee paid to you by retail merchants is returned to Network Marketers and that Merchants can earn
passive income from User’s purchase. Please revise to disclose the percentage breakdown of the marketing fees earned, the percentage
returned to Network Marketers, the percentage returned to you, the amount that Merchants earn from user purchases, and the manner in
which such amounts are earned from User purchases.
GivBux
receives marketing fees from participating merchants and shares these revenues with the users. Approximately 70% of these fees are returned
to GivBux users and Affiliates. The company retains 30% to cover its expenses. GivBux Associates also receive the same commission levels
on the subscription fees of 149.95$ and monthly fees of $29.95 The company distributes the 70% of commissions down 7 levels.
●
Revise to disclose the types of rewards that Users may allocate to charities, and the amount of rewards that Users must allocate to charities.
Also clarify that Users must choose among the charities with which you have partnered, as opposed to “a[ny] charity of their choice.”
Charities-
In order to receive GivBux rewards, a user must choose a charity and a percentage of how much of their GivBux rewards will go to the
selected charity. The percentage can range from 1-100% and it is the user’s discretion. GivBux offers a variety of charities to
choose from and there is a registration process in place for any additional registered charities that want to join our organization.
The charities receive their donations in cash. Should a charity sign up GivBux members then they would also be eligible to receive GivBux
rewards like any user.
●
Revise to discuss the initial and monthly fees paid by GivBux Associates to you, and the commissions earned by GivBux Associates.
The
initial fee for a GivBux Associate is a one time fee of $149.95 along with a monthly subscription fee of $29.95. GivBux Associates receive
commissions from recruiting other Associates and local merchants. They will also receive commissions from advertising revenue which they
will generate as soon as this program is put in place. Approximately 70% of the fees are paid back to the Associates and distributed
up to a maximum of 7 levels
●
Define National Brands and Network Marketers.
National
Brands are defined as retailers who have been brought to us by our third party aggregator and they usually have a larger footprint across
the country versus a local more regional merchant.
Network
marketers are our GivBux Associates building a Network of users and other associates
●
Clarify how users “benefit from recruiting new members to download and use the
App.”
They
will generate passive income when others use the App to purchase everyday products
●
Revise the apparent discrepancy between the disclosure of 273 retailers and 258 merchants that accept GivBux.

Merchants, Charities, and GivBux Associates during your last fiscal year and for the period ended September 30, 2024. Clarify whether
you enter into written agreements with your Users, Merchants, Charities and/or GivBux Associates.
Revised
3-We
note your amended disclosure in response to prior comment 3. Please revise to name and define the “third party aggregator”
and explain in further detail how they assist you in negotiating the acceptance of GivBux with retailers. Please summarize the agreement
with the third party aggregator and file such agreement as an exhibit. To the extent appropriate, consider redacting information from
the agreement per Item 601(b)(10)(iv) of Regulation S-K or Rule 83.
RESPONSE
We
use a third party aggregator who acts a liaison between payment providers and merchants. They act as a payment processor by collecting
the monies spent by the users at the merchants, collecting GiVBux’s portion and then paying the merchant in 24-48 hours. They have
a marketing relations group which has been able to get GivBux accepted by their National Brand customers
Note:
Due to confidentiality agreements (NDA) and competition concerns we are not at liberty to identify this third party.

Governmental regulations on the business
GivBux
Inx as a Fintech company in the U.S. must navigate a complex landscape of regulations that can vary by state and federal levels. Here
are some key regulations and areas of compliance they typically need to consider:
1.
Banking
Regulations: If a fintech company offers banking services, it must comply with regulations set by the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency (OCC) or state banking authorities.
2.
Consumer
Protection Laws: Companies must adhere to laws like the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) regulations to protect consumer rights.
3.
Anti-Money
Laundering (AML): Compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and regulations from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)
to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing is essential.
4.
Securities
Regulations: If the fintech deals with investments or trading, it must comply with regulations from the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) and possibly state securities regulators.
5.
Payment
Regulations: Companies involved in payments must adhere to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) and the Payment Card Industry
Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) for secure transactions.
6.
Data
Privacy and Security: Compliance with laws like the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and state-specific privacy laws (like the California
Consumer Privacy Act) is crucial for protecting customer data.
7.
Licensing:
Many fintech companies require specific licenses, such as money transmitter licenses, which vary by state.
8.
State
Regulations: Each state may have its own set of regulations that fintechs must comply with, including state-specific lending laws
and licensing requirements.
9.
Tax
Compliance: Fintechs must also navigate federal and state tax regulations, including IRS requirements for reporting transactions.

year and the period ended June 30, 2024. Please provide definitions of the terms users, merchants, vendors, charities and GivBux
Associates, as used in your filing.
RESPONSE:
The
company has not retained historical records in the past on the numbers of users, merchants or charities. Processes have been put in place

Users-
10253
Merchants-
258
Charities-
97
Users-
The company has been doing Beta Testing on its App in order to prove the functionality of its application The processes have been proven
and used successfully in a live environment on a daily basis. There are currently a small number of users at present, we anticipate this
number will rapidly increase rapidly as there is an active campaign to recruit new influencers. As we stated, users can earn rewards
and donate a portion of these rewards to a charity of their choice. A system of network marketing has been put in place which will allow
users to benefit from recruiting new members to download and use the App. A second category of users will be individuals who are interested
in becoming a GivBux associate which allows them to recruit independent retail merchants and receive a portion of the revenue that these
merchants generate. There is a subscription fee required in order to qualify as an associate.
Merchants-
There are 2 types of merchant accounts, National and Independent. All National accounts are recruited and brought on board by GivBux
Corporate. Independent retailers are recruited and signed by qualified GivBux associates. All retail merchants pay GivBux a marketing
fee based upon the spend of the GivBux users. A portion of this fee is returned to the Network Marketers and the remainder goes to the
company. The merchants benefit from new Users, no additional processing fees or chargebacks and if the merchant gets Users to download
and use the GivBux Super App, they too can earn passive income from the user’s purchases.
Charities-
The fundamental concept of GivBux is giving. Users must allocate a portion of their rewards to a charity of their choice. We maintain
relationships with many charities and all recognized charities can become part of the GivBux ecosystem.
GivBux
Associates- Associates are individuals who decide to become involved in building GivBux network of users, merchants and other associates.
An associate pays a small signup fee and in return receives training on the GivBux Super App as well as a replicated website to which
they can send interested parties. They will also recruit local merchants to accept GivBux as well as offer advertising opportunities
to these merchants. The associates will receive commissions based upon the sales revenue generated by the merchants and other associates.

clarify whether you have current agreements with these companies and if you do, please revise
to summarize the material terms of such agreements and file any material agreements as an

can use your app “at over hundreds of national merchants which allows access to in
excess of 250,000 locations/vendors,” further describe the nature and locations of
the merchants and vendors.
RESPONSE:
Givbux
has 273 retailers who accept as a payment portal. The company has a relationship with a third party aggregator who helps us negotiate
the acceptance of GivBux at major retailers. Release of any details of the agreements regarding these retailers could lead to a loss
of our competitive advantage and infringe upon any non-disclosure agreement between the parties whether written or implied.
As
far as the statement regarding 250,000 locations/vendors, this estimation is low if you consider that Amazon states that they have 1.1
million active sellers, Uber has 1.5 million drivers in the US, only to name a few
We
have provided a complete list of 273 retailers as an exhibit

Factors, page 8

revise your risk factors to accurately reflect the current risks that make an investment
risky. In this light, we note a number of risks that appear inapplicable or require
additional supporting detail and more fulsome discussion, including:
●
your
growth and expectations for “significant growth in the near future;”
●
the
amount of revenue and cash inflows derived from your platform;
●
statements
regarding the level of success in prior periods, including that you have “grown significantly in recent periods;”
●
the
size and demographic of your current customer base;
●
the
current status of your product offering(s);

status and terms of any current or prior subscription contracts sold given your assertion that you generate revenue from such contracts;
●
references
to business combinations, asset acquisitions, and a revolving credit facility; and
●
references
to any operations in or business with the restaurant industry. Refer to Item 105 of Regulation S-K.
RESPONSE:
Significant
Growth in the near future: We are currently in a recruiting phase of GivBux associates who will increase the number of users, associates
and retailer who will increase the usage of the GivBux App.
As
of 6/30/2024, we reported $ 25,000 of total revenue for the quarter of which $1951 was attributed to our platform. There will be a significant
increase in revenue generated by the GivBux Super App when we report the 9/30/2024 quarter. Users: 10253 across the United States. Number
of subscriptions for Associates: 1062
For
the moment there are no assets acquisitions nor revolving credit. As far as business combinations are concerned, there are no combinations
with 3rd party businesses. GivBux Inc. does own a wholly owned subsidiary, GivBux Global Partners who look after the marketing
and recruitment of GivBux Associates
6. We
note a number of notes payable for cash and convertible notes payable for shares of your
common stock. Please revise to discuss the risks associated with:
●
the
total amount of notes that are payable on demand, as compared to your current assets; and
●
the
dilution from issuing additional shares of common stock in connection with the convertible notes payable.
RESPONSE:
The
risks associated with notes payable are mainly one of liquidity if the company is required to pay without enough cash. This could result
in bankruptcy or the inability of the company to operate.
The
issuance of additional shares in connection with the convertible notes payable could lead to a dilution of the share price and seriously
affect shareholder value. It would also negatively affect the company’s ability to raise new capital for future expansion.

INC. Page 5 of 10

revise your risk factor on page 40 to further describe the risks of being quoted on the OTC
Pink Market, including that it could depress the trading prices of your stock, have a long-term
adverse impact on your ability to raise capital in the future, increase price volatility,
and decrease the likelihood that orders will be able to be executed.
RESPONSE:
We
have revised the risk factor on page 40 to include the inherent risks of quotation on the OTC Pink Market, including that it could depress
the trading price of the stock and may have a long-term adverse impact on the ability to raise future capital as well as increase price
volatility, etc. to address the Commission’s comment.

Registration Statement on Form 10-12G
Filed August 16, 2024
File No. 000-52142
Dear Umesh Singh:
Our initial review of your registration statement indicates that it fails to comply with the
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the rules and regulations thereunder and the
requirements of the form. More specifically, your registration statement fails to include the
interim financial statements required by Item 13 of Form 10.
This registration statement will become effective automatically 60 days after its initial
filing. If the registration statement were to become effective in its present form, we would be
required to consider what recommendation, if any, we should make to the Commission. We
suggest that you consider filing a substantive amendment correcting the deficiencies or a request
for withdrawal of the registration statement before it becomes effective.
Please contact Cara Wirth at 202-551-7127 with any questions.

Re:

Inc. Form 10-12(g)
To
Whom it May Concern:
In
connection with the recently filed Form 10-12(g) (“Form 10”) by GivBux, Inc., (the “Company”) acknowledges that
it is necessary to file financial report for the period ending June 30, 2024. These are being presently completed by our auditors and
accountants. The Company will update the financial reports, together with any comment responses, in its next correspondence with the
commission.
As
is noted in the Company’s annual attorney opinion to OTC Markets Group, Inc. please take note the following:
Among
the officers and directors of the Company none hold more than 5% of any outstanding class of securities. There is no evidence of any
investigation of any of these persons or entities by state or federal securities regulators.
Regarding
other >5% shareholders, the Company in order to proceed with the reverse split, symbol and name change, was required by FINRA to place
the shares held by Kenyatto Jones (“Jones”) and Bear Bull, Inc. into a shareholder voting trust, which removes Jones from
any voting majority over the Company. There is evidence of a Washington State Securities investigation resolved in or about August 2019
related to Jones and GivBux Global Partners, Inc. unauthorized sales of securities in the state.
Additionally,
there is evidence of a criminal securities case against Jones in Orange County, California related to untrue statements made in the purchase/sale
of securities (unrelated to GivBux, Inc. or GivBux Global Partners, Inc.) which was resolved via restitution and a three-year probation
term for Jones.
By
virtue of the Voting Trust Jones has divested voting rights, but remains a majority beneficial owner of the Company. Should you wish
to obtain any further information regarding these matters, or if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the
Company or Mr. Jones directly. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to these matters.

RE: Rub A Dub Soap, Inc.
Form 8-K filed November 14, 2007
File No. 0-52142
Dear Mr. Cash:
On behalf of Rub A Dub Soap, Inc. ("RUBD" or the "Company"), we are
providing the following responses to comments of the Staff (the "Staff") of the
Securities and Exchange Commission contained in the letter from the Staff dated
May 15, 2008 ("Comment Letter") regarding the above-referenced Form 8-K (the
"Form 8-K").
Set forth below are the Company's responses to the Staff's comments. To
assist your review, we have retyped the text of the Staff's comments in italics
below.
General
-------
1. We note your response to our prior comment one from our letter dated March
17, 2008 and your related disclosure on page 17 of your Form 10-Q for the
period ended March 31, 2008 that the acquired subsidiaries operate under
common control because they all have the same key management members.
Please confirm for us, if true, that the voting ownership meets the
criteria for common control in all financial periods presented prior to the
August 2007 acquisitions. Reference paragraph 3 of EITF 02-5.
Response:
The Company hereby confirms that the voting ownership of the acquired
subsidiaries meets the criteria for common control in all financial periods
presented prior to the August 2007 acquisitions for the following reasons:
<PAGE>
John Cash
Page 2 of 2
May 30, 2008
Pursuant to paragraph 3 of EITF No. 02-5, common control exists among
separate entities if immediate family members hold more than 50% of the voting
ownership interest of each entity. Immediate family members include a married
couple. As explained below, prior to the August 2007 acquisitions, our CEO, Mr.
Long Qin, together with his wife, Ms. Xiuqin Li owned more than 50% of the
voting ownership interest of each acquired subsidiary.
The acquired subsidiaries include Qingdao Free-Trading Zone Sentaida
International Trade Co., Ltd., ("FTZ Sentaida"), Qingdao Sentaida Tires Co.,
Ltd. ("Sentaida Tires"), and Zhongsen Holdings Co., Ltd. ("Zhongsen Holdings").
Prior to the acquisitions of these subsidiaries by Zhongsen International
Company Group Limited in 2007, Mr. Qin owned 100% equity interest in Zhongsen
Holdings. Sentaida Group Ltd., in which Mr. Qin owned 76% interest, held 51%
equity interest in both FTZ Sentaida and Sentaida Tires. Thus, Mr. Qin
indirectly owned 38.76% (76% x 51%) equity interest in both FTZ Sentaida and
Sentaida Tires. Mr. Qin's wife, Ms. Li owned 37.24% equity interest in both FTZ
Sentaida and Sentaida Tires. As a result, Mr. Qin together with his wife owned
100%, 76% (38.76% + 37.24%), and 76% (38.76% + 37.24%) equity interest in
Zhongsen Holdings, FTZ Sentaida, and Sentaida Tires, respectively.
Therefore, prior to the August 2007 acquisitions, all the acquired
subsidiaries operated under common control pursuant to paragraph 3 of EITF No.
02-5.
If you would like to discuss the Form 8-K or if you would like to
discuss any other matters, please contact Scott Kline, Esq. of Thelen Reid Brown

Financial Statements
General
2. We note that you have entered into a stock purchase agreement with Zhongsen
International Company Group, Ltd. Please clarify for us why you have not
included the financial statements of Zhongsen International Company Group,
Ltd. but instead have included the financial statements of its
subsidiaries. In addition, please clarify why the financial statements of
Qingdao Free-Trading Zone Sentaida International Trade Co., Ltd., Qingdao
Sentaida Tires Co., Ltd, and Zhongsen Trading Co., Ltd. have been presented
on a combined basis. In this regarding, please clarify if these
subsidiaries operate under common control.
Zhongsen International Company Group Limited ("Zhongsen") was formed in
July 2007 and acquired the subsidiaries in August 2007 for which financial
information was presented. The historical financial statements of the
acquired subsidiaries are presented on a combined basis for the reason that
they are now companies under common control.
3. Please tell us what consideration you gave to including the quarterly
financial statements of the subsidiaries of Zhongsen International Company
Group, Ltd. in accordance with Item 310 of Regulation S-B.
A Form 8-K was filed on October 29, 2007, reporting that Registrant had
entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire Zhongsen. Subsequent
to entering into this Agreement, the management of Zhongsen was preparing
to make presentations to various financial professionals about the company
and its future. Such presentations would have provided material information
about Registrant that was not in the public domain, and Registrant and
Zhongsen concluded that a disclosure under Regulation FD of the financial
information included in the presentations was appropriate.
Combined Statements of Cash Flows, page 4
-----------------------------------------
4. Please tell us how you determine it was under SFAS 95 to include your
restricted cash balances in the beginning and ending cash and cash
equivalents balances.
According to paragraph 7 of SFAS 95, the total amount of cash and cash
equivalents at the beginning and end of the period shown in the statement
of cash flows shall be the same amounts as similarly titled line items or
subtotals shown in statements of financial position as of those dates.
Paragraph 8 of SFAS 95 states that cash equivalents are short-term, highly
liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and
their maturity are so near that they represent insignificant risk of
changes in value because of changes in interest rates. The Company included
the restricted cash in cash and cash equivalents because it is cash, it
need not to be converted to cash. It is cash deposit in bank specially for
issuing letter of credit, note payable and transaction of foreign currency.
Usually most of the term of deposits is within 90 days or less, though some
<PAGE>
Securities and Exchange Commission
February 6, 2008
Page 3
are within six months. Therefore, the Company believes it was appropriate
to include restricted cash balances in the beginning and ending cash and
cash equivalent balances.
However, due to the cash that is restricted, the change of the restricted
cash should be shown in the cash flows from investing activities on the
cash flow statement instead of being combined with the other cash balances.
The Company will make restatement for the 2006's statement of cash flows.
Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies Revenue Recognition
----------------------------------------------------------------------
5. With a view towards future disclosure, please provide us with a more
specific and comprehensive discussion of how you have considered SAB 104.
In this regard, please also clarify if you recognize revenue upon shipment
of your products.
The Company's consideration for revenue recognition: SAB 104 has four
criteria that the public has to follow: (1) Persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been
rendered; (3) the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; (4)
collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue when
title and risk of loss passes to the customer and the above criteria have
been met. Besides the above criteria, for FTZ Sentaida and Zhongsen
trading, they are recognize revenue upon shipment of products.
Finally, Registrant acknowledges to the Staff that:
o The company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure is their filings;
o Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments
do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to
the filing; and
o The company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal
securities laws of the United States.
