welcome to FT
Since you are based in Atlanta, that's a DL hub. Consider deals some may know of whereas you can transfer MR points to DL... like 100k MR = 150k DL --deal ends in MAY. You have to see if I got this one right but I believe I do.
Another thing I would suggest is:
COINS
Just.... Coins
Lots to learn on that but even the closed thread on it works nicely for starters.
oh, and that gig on Delta sky bonus. If you have a business, you can get some perks with that as well.
Forgive my post not sharing any links. but search function should help.
gotta run!
good luck and book awards early!
