I open up bank accounts to get signup bonuses to pay for vacations.
I also use credit card rewards to offset costs for flights or hotels.
I'm going to Hawaii the middle of May with my wife and none of the trip will be paid for by my ordinary income.

I think Hawaii is one of the places where a trip price can really vary.
