What travel rewards programs do you recommend?
I started traveling again for work this year. I've stuck with American Airlines for their member benefits. Realized this summer that AA miles were being devalued, checked again and it's gotten worse for travel and hotel rewards.

None are perfect, just go all in on the best airline in your hometown. Get a credit card that’s associated with the airline you choose and only buy flights on that airline.

Atlanta or nyc - Delta
Dallas - American or Southwest
Houston or Chicago - United or Southwest
LA - Delta, American, or United

Personally, I’m a huge fan of delta, I think they have the best customer service and nicest planes. But I live in a hub so it’s easy to be loyal to them.

I go with Delta. I don't know what the best is but I'm loyal to Delta. They've always been good to me.

Look for a credit card with flexible currency, as in points that you can transfer to airline and hotel partners. That way, you're not stuck to one ecosystem. Chase, Capital One and AMEX are the big three with Chase being the most accessible. Check out 10xTravel. With the points I accumulated, I was able to use them for ~20 days of hotel stays during a trip to Asia + a round trip flight to Tokyo.

Additional Posts in Account Management

I work for a small agency and manage our internal marketing acct. We had very few processes in place when I started. I’ve since created, implemented, and trained our dept. on project mgmt for clients and am trying to convince the owner to apply those principles to our internal jobs. They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

Anyone else finding it very difficult to get any enjoyment out of account management these days? Any coping tips?

I feel like I spend every week counting down to the weekend which kinda sucks.
