How Traveling with Kids Changes the Points Game with Dr. Chandani DeZure

Episode Description

If traveling with your family is presenting challenges for making the most of your points, today’s episode is for you. I’m joined by a seasoned traveler, both with and without her family, and she’s here to share how traveling with kids changes the points game, and all her secrets for making the most of her points.

Dr. Chandani DeZure is a Board Certified Physician living in California who’s been maximizing points for travel since 2014. The points game has changed a lot in those 10 years, and Chandani’s personal points journey has changed significantly in that time too. She started out on a resident’s salary, traveling with no kids and tons of flexibility, and now she’s taking her kids on her trips and her flexibility has all but vanished. But that doesn’t stop her getting an amazing deal.

Tune in this week to discover how traveling with children changes the game when it comes to credit card points and miles. Chandani is discussing how she maximizes her points when traveling with her family, how her priorities have shifted, and you’ll learn tons of practical tips for getting the most out of every point you earn.
