Hey there, points people! Today, I'm talking with Juan Ruiz of (@doubledutydaddy).

Juan has been writing and editing stories about credit cards, loyalty programs, and travel for over a decade. He's contributed to outlets like The Points Guy, Forbes, CNN, and Upgraded Points. Juan travels with his family using points and miles, having visited 39 countries across 6 continents.

In this episode, Juan and I discuss tips for traveling with multiple kids, why Alaska miles are so hard to come by, and why you shouldn’t sleep on them for long-haul flights from the US to Asia.

Juan and I talk about using Alaska miles to fly on Cathay Pacific. If you don’t have Alaska miles, but want the same experience, you can book Cathay Pacific using British Airways Avios. If you need more Avios, you might consider the British Airways Visa Signature® Card.

Remember, if you decide to apply for the British Airways Visa Signature® Card or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.
