The Traveling Tuba Guy - Dr. Daniel Rowland

L-R: Dr. Daniel Rowland, UW-P Music Department and Optimist President Terri Ellis

Dr. Daniel Rowland from the UW-Platteville Music Department describes himself as "just a tuba guy that loves to travel." He shared his experiences on how he uses travel points and travel miles to allow him to travel at a minimal expense. Danny got hooked on collecting travel points and travel miles after reading "The Points Guy Book" and "10x Travel." The goal is to strategically earn and redeem points and miles to significantly reduce the cost of travel and to get free stuff or upgrade your travel experience (flight or hotel accommodations). He explained that the process succeeds through a coordination of credit card subscription bonuses, credit card multipliers, and shopping portals (i.e. Rakuten).
