Enhancing Points Travel for Couples with Kathy & Jake
Episode Description
Today, I’m joined by two guests, Dr. Kathy Zhang and her husband Jake Jansen. This is the first time I’ve had a points travel partnership on the show, and they’re an amazing example of what’s possible when two people come together to maximize their points. They experienced some difficulty in the early days, but now they have a two-player points game that’s creating some wonderful travel opportunities.
Kathy is a hospice and palliative care physician, as well as a hypnotist and life coach who has recently gotten into the points hobby. Her husband Jake is a physical therapist with a passion for travel, and he’s loving the way points have enhanced his and Kathy’s travel experiences, so they’re here to share their experience with all of you.
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.
