Summary
I’m joined by two guests, Dr. Kathy Zhang and her husband Jake Jansen, this week and this is the first time I’ve had a points travel partnership on the show. They’re an amazing example of what’s possible when two people come together to maximize their points. Although they experienced some difficulty in the early days, they have a two-player points game that’s creating some wonderful travel opportunities.
Tune in this week to discover what a two-player points strategy looks like in practice. Kathy is sharing how she first became interested in points, how she showed her husband Jake why he should get involved, and they’re discussing why they decided to join my program despite already redeeming their first luxury points trip.
