The Short Version
Each alternative has a real strength. Travel agencies offer hands-on service; booking sites offer maximum flexibility; miles programs reward loyalty you already have. A travel club's distinct advantage is a built-in discount plus a points system aimed specifically at travel — but it comes with a recurring fee, which is the trade-off worth weighing.
