Hi, I'm Justin

I haven't paid for a
family vacation in 15 years.

Not flights. Not hotels. Not once. Here's how — and why I want to help you do the same.

My story

The realization that changed everything

I've been in business for over 15 years. And for a long time, I did what most business owners do — I put expenses on whatever card was in my wallet, paid the bill, and moved on. I never thought twice about it.

Over time, I started piecing it together on my own. The money I was already spending — every month, on every business expense — was worth a staggering amount in travel rewards. I just hadn't been capturing any of it.

I made a few simple changes. The right cards. The right spend routing. A basic understanding of how to actually redeem points for something valuable. And within a year, my family took a trip we would never have paid cash for.

"That was the last time I paid cash for a vacation."

Since then, points have taken us to Hawaii for anniversaries, Disney World with the kids, all-inclusives in Mexico and the Caribbean, and weekend trips to cities we'd always talked about visiting but never made time for. I've started taking one-on-one trips with my boys as they get old enough — just the two of us, building memories that wouldn't have happened if we were watching the price tag. In 15 years, I've taken at least two trips every single year. All on points. That streak isn't stopping.

I started Miles to Paradise because I kept meeting smart, successful business owners who had no idea this was possible. People spending serious money every month, running great companies, and leaving tens of thousands of dollars in travel value on the table every year — without even knowing it.

That's the only problem I solve. I look at how you spend, I tell you exactly which cards to use, and I show you how to turn those points into real travel. One session. No fluff.

Discovered the points game

Got my first travel rewards credit cards and started my journey to free travel — and never looked at spending the same way again.

Year 2

First free family trip

Used accumulated points to book flights and a hotel for a family vacation. Total out-of-pocket: taxes and fees only.

Ongoing

Never looked back

Refined the system. Kept earning. Kept traveling. Every family vacation since has been on points.

Today

Miles to Paradise

Helping business owners and families do exactly what I do — stop paying cash for travel their spending is already earning.

What I believe

A few things I know to be true

The setup takes one afternoon

Getting the right card stack in place is not complicated. Most people do it once and forget it — the points just accumulate automatically after that.

The math always wins

If I can show you the numbers — how many points you're earning versus how many you could be earning — the decision makes itself.

Free travel isn't a trick

It's a system. And it's available to anyone who spends regularly on a credit card. You don't need special access or secret knowledge — just the right strategy.

One good session beats ten blog posts

Generic advice is everywhere. What actually changes behavior is a specific recommendation built around your spending — with someone explaining exactly why.
