Each airline has a frequent flyer program. If you're referring to free-standing programs as "clubs" I suggest you look at the Citi ThankYou points program.

www.flyertalk.com will have more details on everything you seek. I suggest you read through the FAQs first before asking questions.

Being a member of all the airline FF miles programs is a good idea for life, not just interview season. It's really easy - you can sign up for any airline's program while you are waiting to get onto the plane. You can even do it on the return trip and a lot of programs will let you get back-credited for the miles if you put in the details from the ticket on the internet or you fax them a form. Just make sure to save the ticket stubs or any paperwork from the flight, because they do make back-crediting a pain in the neck for you.

I am also using a credit card now that gives FF miles so that when I spend money I am earning miles. I'm going to be taking a heck of a lot of flights this year.

I'd recommend getting a AAA card. They are relatively cheap, especially when you are stranded. Almost every hotel has a discounted rate for AAA. It really sucks to be stuck with a flat tire in a city you don't know, dressed in interview clothes, 15 minutes late for the interview!
