[quote=Anonymous]These comments are all interesting.  It seems insane to me that someone would want to spend 4-7K on a vacation in the OBX or the like, but I respect that is your choice.

We go to Europe once a year on all points for a family of five.  We generally can't fly out of DC and have to drive to Philly or BWI to make it happen, but it is worth the 5K savings.  We also only use points to book hotels or use Airbnb. This is where I also disagree with the earlier food comments because you can save a lot if you aren't eating out every meal (and who doesn't love going to markets in other countries?). And for us, we are concierge level at several hotel chains so a humongous breakfast is covered, and if you wanted to/needed to you can put together a  dinner as well.

We have a two week trip to Europe this summer, and the only thing I have paid for is  an Airbnb for 3 nights that is less than $100 a night and we are splurging and doing two nights in a castle which is 1K for both nights and includes breakfast and dinner.

We will do a combo of renting a car (using points) and train tickets, which if we buy them three months out will be very reasonable.

The other trip we do frequently is visiting national parks.  Then it is airfare and lodging.  We eat breakfast in the room and we generally pack lunches to eat on the trails, so just dinner out.  We don't do a ton of the planned/pay for activities.  These trips cost us around 4K all in.
