This could change when the reward system changes soon, but in the current scheme the best values are at the low end (20K points a night properties that are $150+ cash) and very high end (~80K points a night properties that are $1K+ cash). In the middle I often find the redemption value is poor

Journalism is the best job in the world but I feel like people are less likely to take my work seriously because I am female.

Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?
