How to Book a Mid-Week Nashville Music Trip

Visit Broadway's honky-tonks and eat world-class BBQ for $73 a month without paying interest upfront.

Across the 0% window $73.33/mo 15 months, no interest

How we got that: $1,100 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.

Nashville is better on a Tuesday. The crowds on Broadway thin out, but the music stays loud. You can walk into any bar, grab a stool, and hear world-class players for the price of a beer. Mid-week also means you aren't fighting for a table at the famous BBQ spots or paying weekend premiums for a hotel room.

A solid trip usually runs about $1100. We found a way to break that cost down into manageable chunks over time. By using the Discover it® Cash Back (Discover), you get a 0% intro APR for 15 months on purchases and balance transfers. This lets you pay for the trip slowly while you're back home.

This isn't a gift. The 0% window is a hard deadline. If you still have a balance after 15 months, the standard interest rate kicks in on the remaining amount and it gets expensive fast.

The steps

  1. 01

    Pick a mid-week window

    Fly in on a Tuesday and leave Thursday. Hotels in the Gulch or near Music Row often drop their rates by 30% or more compared to Friday nights. You'll get more room for your money.

  2. 02

    Track your flights

    Use a price tracker to watch for deals into BNA. Since you're traveling mid-week, you'll likely avoid the peak Sunday return prices that most tourists pay. Use the savings for a better dinner.

  3. 03

    Use the 15-month window

    Put the $1100 cost on your Discover it® Cash Back (Discover). With the 0% intro APR for 15 months on purchases and balance transfers, you can pay $73.33 a month to clear the balance before interest kicks in.

  4. 04

    Map your BBQ stops

    Hit the legendary spots like Martin’s or Peg Leg Porker for lunch. Queues are shorter during the week. You'll spend less time in line and more time eating ribs.

  5. 05

    Budget for tips

    The music is the main draw and the bands play for tips. Keep some small bills on hand so you can support the talent while you're hopping from one neon sign to the next.

  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.

Common questions

Is Nashville expensive during the week?

It's much cheaper than the weekends. You'll save the most on your hotel, which is usually the biggest expense of the trip.

What is a 0% intro APR?

It means the bank doesn't charge you interest for a set time. You still have to make minimum monthly payments, but your balance doesn't grow.

Do I need a car in Nashville?

Not if you stay central. Rideshares are plenty, and most of the music and food is concentrated in walkable pockets.

What happens if I miss a payment?

You might lose your 0% rate immediately. Set up an autopay for at least the minimum to keep the deal alive.
