How to Book a Nashville Trip

Plan your music getaway to Nashville by targeting midweek stays and spreading the cost over 18 months.

VoAtlas editorial Updated · 3 min read
Typical cost $1,100 before anything else
Across the 0% window $61.11/mo 18 months, no interest

How we got that: $1,100 spread evenly across the 18-month introductory window on the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card. Checked · at the bank Carry a balance past the window and the standard APR applies to what is left.

Nashville is all about the neon lights on Broadway and finding that perfect hidden songwriter round. If you go Tuesday through Thursday, you will spend way less on hotels and deal with half the crowds at the honky-tonks.

A typical trip costs about $1100. If you use the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card, you get 0% for 18 months on purchases and balance transfers from date of account opening. This lets you break that cost into smaller payments.

That 18-month window is a deadline, not a break from paying. If you still have a balance once those 18 months are up, the bank will start charging interest on the remaining amount.

The steps

  1. 01

    Book midweek nights

    Search for hotels or rentals from Tuesday to Thursday. Prices drop significantly compared to weekend rates. You get more space for your money and a quieter experience in the city.

  2. 02

    Map out your music

    Look up the schedules for the Bluebird Cafe and the Ryman Auditorium ahead of time. These venues fill up fast. Booking your shows early helps you avoid last-minute price spikes.

  3. 03

    Use your intro window

    When you book your trip, use the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card to cover the $1100. You have an 18-month window to pay it off without paying interest. It keeps your monthly output to about $61.11.

  4. 04

    Limit the dining tab

    Nashville food is great, but it adds up. Eat one big meal out and grab casual food for lunch. It keeps your total trip cost closer to that $1100 target.

  5. 05

    Set up autopay

    Divide your total cost by the 18 months to see what you need to save each month. Set a recurring transfer to your card so you do not miss a payment.

  6. 06

    Check the card terms before you commit

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

Common questions

Is the trip actually free?

No. The card just lets you spread the $1100 cost over 18 months interest-free. You still have to pay back the full amount.

What happens if I miss a payment?

You might lose the 0% rate and get hit with penalty fees. Always check your statement dates and keep your payments on time.

Are midweek stays really that much cheaper?

Yes. Nashville hotel demand peaks on weekends. Moving your travel to the middle of the week is the most effective way to lower your total bill.

Can I use this card for flights too?

You can use it for any travel purchase. Just make sure your total spending stays within your budget so you can pay it off in 18 months.
