Love everything about this podcast, educational and entertaining..and especially love that the travel episodes are not “everything is perfect” but you also share what you didn’t like and any challenges along the way.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

241. Under Canvas Acadia on Points: Glamping, Hiking & Bar Harbor
Q: What were the budgeting and value-add strategies you used beyond the hotel stays?
We booked tours and activities through Viator to earn more points, used Rakuten for extra cash-back on bookings, and leveraged restaurant and local ice cream visits to stay cost-effective while experiencing local culture. We also secured airline seats with points plus a small cash component to maximize savings.
241. Under Canvas Acadia on Points: Glamping, Hiking & Bar Harbor
Q: How did you manage the family logistics and keep the trip enjoyable for both the hiking-enthusiast and the reader-in-the-forest mom?
We split activities: my husband would tackle the bigger hikes early, while I stayed on site reading or doing lighter trails with the kids. This allowed us to recharge individually and reconnect later. We also integrated kid-friendly activities like a Bar Harbor schooner trip and afternoon fires, keeping the trip balanced and low-stress.
241. Under Canvas Acadia on Points: Glamping, Hiking & Bar Harbor
Q: Tell us a bit about how you planned this trip and what you prioritized in choosing Under Canvas near Acadia.
I focused on a balance between cost, proximity to parks, and a unique glamping experience. I used a Delta Companion Pass with a cash portion to upgrade, and then leveraged Hyatt points and the Chase Travel Portal to cover the bulk of the stay. We chose Acadia because it was the closest national park with practical flight options via Bangor, which kept costs down while still offering a great base for both hiking and downtime.
228. How Her Family of 5 Traveled Thailand for Two Weeks Using Points & Miles
Q: What was your approach to the ethical elephant experience in Phuket?
We chose an elephant sanctuary that emphasizes ethical treatment (no riding, no bathing in ways that stress the elephants) and booked a half-day program through Viator, prioritizing humane interaction over touristy thrills.
228. How Her Family of 5 Traveled Thailand for Two Weeks Using Points & Miles
Q: How did you maximize your hotel credits for the Bangkok stay?
They stacked two CSR $250 edit credits and used Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts credits across four reservations, effectively offsetting most of the hotel costs and securing breakfast and other benefits.
