Contributing writer

Dan Miller is a freelance writer who has been writing about all things personal finance, real estate and travel on the Internet since 2013. Though born in a country that no longer exists (West Germany), Dan considers himself a native Ohioan who loves to travel with his wife and six (6!) children. He first learned about credit card rewards in 2012, when he realized that using miles and points was the only way he was going to be able to afford eight cross-country plane tickets to an upcoming family reunion. After researching the best credit cards, he signed up for a few and eventually used 170,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards points (plus a Southwest Companion Pass) to fly his family to Lake Tahoe and back.

Realizing that it wasn't all first class flights and 5-star hotels, Dan started the Points With a Crew blog in 2014, with the aim of helping families (especially large families) to use miles, points and credit card rewards to take that trip that they might have thought they couldn't afford.

He has spent over 10 years covering developments in the personal finance space, including credit card rewards, real estate, student loans, investing, budgeting and retirement. He has bought and sold multiple buildings, including long-term single family rentals, short-term rentals, commercial and office space as well as retail.
