This is about churning, not regular rewards. Sign up for a new card, pay taxes on it among other things to meet the spending requirement for the signup bonus, get “free” $$$ for things you have to spend anyway.

You get points you can use for vacation or travel.
If you NEED to vacation or travel, it IS simply a smart transaction. But if you weren't spending money on travel before than it can still result in increased expenditure even if managed perfectly.
