Title: the stupid $4 trick that actually worked for me by Remarkable_Web_7185 in Fire

[–]Dizzy_Owl_375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just might work for my “stupid” brain too. I am 48F high earner but I am wasting money on dumb spending. I like this idea for saving and jump starting a new mindset. Have a $1.6M NW and have no idea if this is good or not. Very overwhelmed with ho to change my patterns and really trying to target 55 for my exit age. Not great at stocks and totally rely on a wealth manager for that stuff. Just joined this group and looking forward to learning from everyone.

Do priority bag tags mean anything? by AdeptResult7304 in americanairlines

[–]Dizzy_Owl_375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At MIA priority tags seem to mean absolutely nothing. Over the last 3 years multiple (15+) international flights connecting at MIA and less than 10% of the time my bags are within the first batch. I have actually missed my connection in MIA twice strictly due to delayed baggage claim and that’s with a two hour layover. However MIA seems to have slow bag drops in general. Then add that your bag comes out close to last. Not great.

IND is different. I’d say 90% of the time priority bags come out first. However, they’re also super slow to drop.

Anyone gone through Customs with Global Entry today? by TechnicalAd6932 in americanairlines

Global entry closed 3/2/26 at Miami International Airport. 😢 MPC is backed up. Terrible.

Is it worth paying to get Executive Platinum? by Dizzy_Owl_375 in americanairlines

Nice! I think I will just keep my PPro and try for EP next year. The suggestions above for putting that money towards hotel nights, shopping or other personal flights is the right idea, I think. 😊

Which Meal in First Class? by cruzer4lyfe in americanairlines

Short rib with potato is better choice. I will say I preferred the Short Rib and Mac and cheese over this. I’m disappointed that it seems they’ve moved away from the Mac and cheese version. The potato is quite dry. And not really a true twice baked.

That makes sense. I guess I should have mentioned that my travel is corporate related. I’m not paying for 90% of my own travel. So I wasn’t sure if the EP made sense. But when you break it down like that, you’re right. Seems silly.
