The real problem is Hawaii residents who use the CP to commute to the mainland.

The logical solution is a limit of one or two CP Hawaii round trips per year.
This link (a few years old),say 12% of honeymooners go to Hawaii.: https://www.businesswire.com/news/ho...-Released-Knot

This site says 2.3 million weddings a year: https://www.soundvision.com/article/...-united-states

12% of 4.6 million people is 552,000 people a year. Sounds like a significant number to me in light of the following:

This site from a few years back says 7,600,000 travelers to Hawaii annually: https://www.govisithawaii.com/2009/07/30/hawaii-fact-28-of-50-how-many-people-visit-hawaii-each-year/

Plus people who travel more than once a year.

And I agree it's only a matter of time until points from CC bonuses do not count toward CP.
