Off The Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe

#965. After Kaitlyn shared that Rachel Points helped her save nearly $20,000 on travel, the internet had one question: HOW?!
So this week, Rachel Tyers (aka Rachel Points) joins Off the Vine to break down everything you wish someone had taught you about credit cards, points, and travel. Whether you have one credit card or fifteen, Rachel shares the biggest mistakes people are making, why you probably shouldn't be putting all of your spending on your Amex Platinum, why flexible points beat airline credit cards, and the simple three-card strategy she recommends to maximize the rewards you're already earning.
Then they tackle the part that confuses almost everyone: actually using your points. Rachel explains how transferring points to airline partners can unlock business-class flights for a fraction of the price, the best websites to search award flights, when to pay cash versus points, whether points expire, and the travel hacks she swears by to save thousands.
If you've ever looked at your points balance and thought, "I have no idea what I'm doing," this episode is for you!!

#964. Jeff Arcuri may be able to win over an entire room of strangers, but can he figure out why the guy Kaitlyn is dating refuses to laugh?
Jeff is back on Off the Vine to talk about the making of his Netflix special, Nice to Meet You, the pressure of capturing the magic of a live show, and what makes his crowd work feel so effortless. He also reveals the unexpected hobby he'd pick if comedy never worked out, shows off his surprisingly good singing voice, and helps Kaitlyn investigate whether the man she's dating has a broken laugh reflex—or simply doesn't think she's funny.
They also catch up on married life with Katie Thurston, the never-ending renovations on their new Brooklyn home, and what their future family plans look like while life continues moving at full speed.
It's funny, unfiltered, and full of the kind of tangents that make you feel like you're sitting at the table with them.

Spencer Hedges has done both—and he's not holding anything back!

#962. Margaret Josephs is entering a brand new chapter... and it does not include The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
For the first time on Off the Vine, Margaret opens up about her decision to walk away after seven seasons, the behind-the-scenes conversations with Bravo, why she actually went back to film before ultimately deciding to leave for good, and whether she'd ever return.
She and Kaitlyn also recap filming Reality Retreat together, share hilarious behind-the-scenes stories from the Dominican Republic, reveal which castmates surprised them the most, and laugh about a few moments they're already nervous to watch back when the show airs.
The conversation goes far beyond reality TV as Margaret gets candid about being misunderstood, the lawsuit that changed her multi-million-dollar business, why she joined Housewives in the first place, building new businesses from the ground up, and what's next—including the other television projects she's already working on!
It's honest, funny, unfiltered, and packed with behind-the-scenes stories you won't hear anywhere else. Enjoy!

#961. Jaclyn Johnson has built businesses, sold them, bought them back, started over, and learned that success doesn’t always look the way you think it will.
This week, Jaclyn joins Kaitlyn for a refreshingly honest conversation about the highs and lows behind building Create & Cultivate, what it actually felt like to sell the company she poured everything into, and why buying it back became one of the biggest full-circle moments of her career. She opens up about navigating burnout, a breast cancer diagnosis that shifted her perspective, moving back to New York, and the lessons she’s learned through every major pivot along the way.
Plus, Kaitlyn puts Jaclyn’s investor instincts to the test in a game of Invest or Pass, pitching everything from startup ideas to some of the biggest brands we all know as Jaclyn reveals what she’d invest in, what she’d pass on, and why.
Whether you’ve followed Jaclyn for years or this is your first introduction, this conversation goes far beyond business. It’s about reinvention, resilience, taking risks, and finding the courage to bet on yourself—no matter what chapter you’re in.
