About Travel Party of 5

Do you struggle to understand how people travel using points and miles from credit cards? It can be easy to waste a lot of time learning travel hacking on your own, especially if you find it complex and confusing. Let us pull back the curtain and show you how you can maximize money you're already spending to earn enough credit card points and miles to travel with your family for nearly free. We've used credit card points and miles to take our family of 5 on trips to places like Costa Rica, San Diego, Disneyland, Oceanside, NYC, Washington DC, Hawaii, and next year we have already booked Paris, Spain and Japan! Using credit card points and miles (often called travel hacking) doesn't have to be overwhelming or take a ton of time, and we can show you how. Can you earn a lot of points and miles without opening up multiple credit cards? Only if you have a really high amount of spend each month. For people with larger families, opening new cards is the easiest and fastest way to earn enough points and miles to take a couple of really low cost (but not low budget) family vacations every year! If you want to learn ways to help you and your family travel more affordably using credit card points, this show is for you.

Wengen, Switzerland: A Dreamy September Stay in the Swiss Alps with Kids

Published 12 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] So in Wengen, the day trips that we had planned were a day in Mirren. Dwayne keeps calling it Mirror, but it's Mirren. A day at Manlikin, which is the giant cow playground. Manlikin. Okay. What was the other one? Oh, and then last minute, we decided to add on the top of Europe, which I'm going to attempt to pronounce it, but I don't know. All the just so you know, W's are pronounced as V's. OK, so Wengen is spelled with a W and J's are pronounced as Y's. So we also decided to add on the top of Europe, which is Jungfrau Yolk, I think. And that was a good decision. That was originally not on my radar because it is expensive, but it ended up being one of our most fun days. […]
