Dan Beck holds an English degree from The Ohio State University. He and his wife have been churning credit card points and miles obsessively since 2016. His highest value redemption trip was spring 2023 with a trip to Lisbon with flights and hotels on points worth $49,051. Summer 2022 his family went to France, Italy, and Spain for 34 days with first-class flights and every hotel night on points. Dan enjoys sharing his knowledge of the points world to help people learn how to take dream vacations for little to no cost. When not traveling for fun or writing about credit cards Dan enjoys building Ice Castles in Colorado, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Utah, and Wisconsin.
