Look up ''churning'' which is the pursuit of mega signup bonuses in order to magnify the rewards. I've earned >1 million points and miles through this method in the last few years, easily $10k+ worth of travel, although I keep it up now more so because it has become a fun hobby and I enjoy it.

There are also articles describing the risk of churning, and that hardcore churners may be damaging their credit reputation by being seen as unprofitable.
