108. Summer Road Trip Series Begins! Explore Newport, Rhode Island on Points

This week kicks off our Summer Road Trip series—and we’re starting strong with one of the dreamiest New England getaways: Newport, Rhode Island! We dive into everything that makes Newport the perfect points-powered summer escape, from a perfect location to stay on Chase points, to stunning Gilded Age mansions and hot dogs with personality. We also cover the latest buzz in the points and miles world, including the return of Instacart credits on several Chase cards (and yes, you can stack those benefits!). Whether you’re walking the halls of The Breakers, catching the historic Bristol 4th of July parade, or grabbing a fun bite at Wally’s Wieners, Newport is a magical destination for families and budget travelers alike. The episode also includes helpful hacks for using grocery delivery to stick to your travel budget and a reminder that domestic adventures can be just as exciting as those overseas—especially when points are involved.Submit Your Summer Road Trip Idea HEREFacebook Group | Support the Show: Buy Us A CoffeeFind Us On InstagramMary Ellen | JoMentioned in this EpisodeLink for Adding Chase Inks to InstacartLink for Adding Chase Cobranded Cards to InstacartNewport MansionsNewport Cliff WalkFastFerry To Martha's VineyardNantucket FerryLinksChase/Capital One/Amex Card LinksFlyKitt- the BEST Jet Lag Solution!30% off the CardPointers subscription!Tripiamo Driving TutorialsOur Favorite Travel NecessitiesWe receive a small commission when you choose to use any of our links to purchase your products or apply for your cards!
