Points Trip Report: Atlantis Bahamas!

I just returned from an incredible mini-spring break at the Atlantis in the Bahamas thanks to some credit card bonuses. Last spring, we took advantage of a Southwest and Marriott bonuses (referral links below) and we found a perfect redemption for them for 4 nights at the Coral at Atlantis.

BREAKDOWN
4 Nights at Coral at Atlantis: Four 50K/night Marriott certificates + 30k points on top + $285 in fees - $3009 in value

4 roundtrip flights to Bahamas: $672 in gov't fees for $3636 in flights

Total Value: $6645 in total travel for $958 in fees

We never would have gone to the Atlantis if it weren't heavily subsidized by credit card bonuses. Another amazing memory thanks to some well timed credit card applications.

You can achieve the same thing with these credit card bonuses. Here are referral links you can use to apply as well.

Chase Marriott Boundless Card - 3 free nights after $3K spend

Rachel and Chris has a whirlwind 3 week Hawaiian adventure! From turtles to sunsets to mountains to waterfalls, they experienced the deep riches of the Hawaiian islands.

From Rachel: "We had the most amazing time, literally the trip of a lifetime. We literally could not have asked for a better time the last 3 weeks. It was a dream vacation and have also decided we will be going back to Hawaii as well. It was just all so amazing.

We quickly learned to bring water and a backpack with us everywhere, along with swim suits, so we would always be ready for anything we found to do. Never had snorkeled before and wound up buying some cheap gear to use after the first few days on the first island because we had so much fun trying it. "

Sarah and her family had a magical time on a Disney Cruise. They got to visit BOTH Disney private islands and experience all the best DCL has to offer.

From Sarah: "What a trip!! At this phase in our life, quality time with our kids while they are still young is truly priceless … and a Disney cruise was the perfect choice! We got to visit both of Disney’s private islands while aboard the beautiful Disney Dream and had an incredible experience. The amenities, service & entertainment are truly exceptional; and the time we spent enjoying it all together will be treasured forever. Huge thanks to Jeremy for his guidance in choosing the perfect itinerary, ship, and cabin for us."

Matt and Arianna had an incredible Hawaiian extravaganza on the Big Island and Maui. They made sure to see all the islands had to offer.

From Matt: "The manta ray snorkel was popping. Arianna got seasick but we stayed on the boat and watched. There were probably 10+ manta rays that night and it was amazing to see it.
The full day tour on the big island is highly recommended. That was a good excursion and I definitely recommend it.

I would definitely inform others that Hawaii is EXPENSIVE.

Mama's Fish House was the best food we had on the trip. That place is special and I can't recommend it enough.

Things we want to do next time:
See the telescopes up close on the volcanoes
Bring more people with us

Other great places to eat:
Monkeypod (Maui)
Three's Bar and Grill (Maui)"

Pete and Deb had an incredible journey around Italy with their family. They aws the treasures from the quaint pleasures of Vincenza in Norther Italy to the hustle and bustle of Rome, all without the summer crowds!

From Pete + Deb: " We enjoyed every day we were there! Loved northern Italy....Vicenza, Verona, and several surrounding areas. Venice was touristy, but a must see. We went to Murano as well for the glass blowing. Loved Florence & Tuscany, wish we had more time there. The day trip we took saw a lot in a day, well worth it, but exhausting. Rome...we enjoyed the historical part, but so big & busy. We would not go to that area again.

Tips.....HAVE CELL SERVICE, especially for google maps! Be prepared for lots of walking, uphill, uneven surfaces and stairs.

Overall, a trop of a lifetime! Italy is such a beautiful country, with so much history and art, the pictures don't do it justice. "

Chelsea and family had an amazing time with her family exploring Jamaica. They went the road less traveled and explored the island in their own vehicle instead of just relaxing in a resort all week.

From Chelsea: "The trip was amazing. We had a phenomenal time. Everything was awesome. We got to experience quite a few adventures, including cliff jumping, exploring a bat cave in the ocean, and trying all kinds of new foods. It was one of the best weeks we’ve ever had as a family."

Denny + Mandi had an incredible honeymoon seeing the amazing sights of Italy and finishing off the trip with Oktoberfest in Munich. From the history to the food, they savored every moment. One highlight was renting a premium spot at a beach club in Positano and enjoying the day. Just look at those pictures!

Some tips from Denny:
"Driving from Rome to Tuscany was a great idea. Beautiful.
If you're going to do wineries in Tuscany, you need a driver because its super mountainous and winding.
Its good to have reservations. There were a few times when we had to run around looking for a table because places were booked solid.
Venice is kind of tricky to navigate with the boat / vaparetto system. Good to get acclimated or research ahead of time.
Venice - MUST do the palance and basilica
Venice - if its going to rain, bring or buy plastic booties, rain gear, etc."

Dylan and his family enjoyed the beautiful Canadian Rockies at the height of larch season. What's more, they were able to stay at the Moxy Banff for free thanks to a timely Marriott Credit Card bonus. Look at those photos!

From Dylan: " We did our favorite hike of the trip, the Larch Valley Trail. We were blessed with being there in the peak of Larch season and it was so beautiful."

Matthew and crew experienced the Italian classics from Venice and the Dolomites to Florence and Rome.

From Matthew: "The trip was superb in every way. We loved taking a day to drive around the Dolomites, I think that was the highlight of the trip for all of us, and the driving was a lot easier than I was expecting. We loved the cities, but we think that Venice was our favorite mainly because of how quiet it was. There were tourists there, but we often found ourselves away from the touristy places and enjoyed drinks in quiet piazzas."
