Making the $'s work

[YozhikRoth]

For the first time in 20 years, I can take President's week off, so I booked the discounted dining package at the Caribbean Beach for 3. Airfare that week was a complete financial disaster out of NYC (for a while the cheapest I found was $450/pp) but Southwest ended up getting me there for $225/pp. Total cost of the 6 day trip came to $3700. However, I knocked down the price by:

1. Sign up with Southwest credit card and get immediate $200 credit on airfare
2. Sign up with Disney rewards credit card and get immediate $200 credit, less $50 signup fee.
3. Received a $350 gift card from Verizon when I signed up with Fios
