Typical cost $1,500 before anything else
Across the 0% window $100.00/mo 15 months, no interest

How we got that: $1,500 spread evenly across the 15-month introductory window on the Discover it® Cash Back. Checked · at the bank Carry a balance past the window and the standard APR applies to what is left.

Spring in Savannah and Charleston means mild weather, blooming azaleas, and walking the historic districts without melting in the southern humidity. Early weekdays are the sweet spot to go because the crowds thin out and you can actually get a table at the best spots without waiting for hours.

When you are looking at about $1500 for the whole trip, splitting up that cost makes it a lot easier to stomach. Here is how to break it down and lock in your dates.

Just remember that 0% intro APR for 15 months on purchases and balance transfers is a deadline and not free money. If you still have a balance left when those 15 months are up, interest will kick in on what you owe.

The steps

  1. 01

    Pick your travel dates

    Aim for a Tuesday through Thursday in March or April. Flights and hotels cost less mid-week, and the historic squares will be much quieter.

  2. 02

    Book your stay

    Look for an inn near Forsyth Park in Savannah or down near the historic market in Charleston. Staying central lets you walk everywhere instead of paying for rides.

  3. 03

    Line up the payments

    If you use the Discover it® Cash Back card, you get 0% intro APR for 15 months on purchases and balance transfers. That means you can spread your costs over time without paying extra interest.

  4. 04

    Estimate your food and fun

    Factor in daily lunches, dinner splurges, and walking tours. Having a clear total keeps the trip relaxing instead of stressful.

  5. 05

    Confirm the final bookings

    Double-check your cancellation policies just in case life happens. Once everything is locked in, start counting down the days.

  6. 06

    Check the card terms before you commit

    Every figure we publish for the Discover it® Cash Back carries the date a person verified it against Discover and a link to where they checked. Intro windows and APRs change without notice, so confirm the current terms before applying.
