I am new to this and I am trying to see if my expectations are realistic. Once a year I would like to be able to use points for 4 airline tickets and a 1 week hotel stay. Is that possible if I am spending $3,000 per month on credit cards?
How many cards would you suggest I churn?

You couldnt just get one card and charge 3k a month and get 4 flights and free week. You would have to get multiple cards for the various sign up bonuses to do that.

To where? Somewhere in the US or international? What class of service (if you care)?

As the other poster stated, you would probably have to churn a bit. Getting 4 business class award tickets would be difficult if that was a desire.

Earning enough points to cover domestic airfare would be doable, however you could/may be better off using cash back cards for those fares if you aren't willing to churn fast enough.

There are more than a few variables and possible strategies based on your travel goals.
