We're joined this week for a very different wallet than mine. Seth Miller, who writes at PaxEx.Aero and also co-hosts the Dots, Lines and Destinations podcast, joins us this week.

Seth has a different travel style when compared to me or Gary. He also values elite status differently, so I was interested to see what credit cards he relies on to earn points and miles.
