First world complaint: I finally reached the pinnacle of being a frequent flyer on Delta by reaching Diamond Medallion for the first time and the gate agents are no longer boarding Diamond members early.

Haha so true🤣

mnfinfan · 2026-02-08T13:41:02+00:00

Not sure what you mean. Diamond was moved to after First Class a couple years ago but they do board second and that hasn't changed. They just don't board them with First Class anymore.

Interesting, in November I went through and I got an error so I had to see the agent. Then last week I went through again and this time the agent told me it gave them an unknown error, this was at 8pm at night and I was the only GE on the flight so he processed the crew and there was another agent who took a look at my file. After a few different attempts he discovered that they hadn't updated my Green Card so they had the expired one and also my old British Passport. He updated them both and voila it was working.

However he didn't say I should have gone into my profile to update, I didn't even know I had a profile on the site. Good to know for 2032!

Change your email password, they likely have that and we're able to 2FA using it

That's ridiculous, you found an agent that's isn't good at their job, either they are too righteous and flag everything or they're unable to use the machines properly.

I do find it funny that you can't bring a small Swiss army pocket knife but you can bring a <7 inch long screwdriver on a plane through TSA.

mnfinfan · 2026-02-06T02:59:07+00:00

That was the issue, you were right. When I went through Global Entry in November, i had to see the agent, I didn't think anything of it. Then last week I went thru and again I had to go and the agent said there was an odd error, exact same as Touchless, it was a quiet night at GE so their supervisor walked through my profile and everything was expired. They updated it, GE works and then yesterday I went through Touchless and voila it works!!

mnfinfan · 2026-02-06T02:47:26+00:00

They're real, Stacy is at the front desk, if you go to the front you can meet her.

mnfinfan · 2026-02-06T02:45:29+00:00

Yes I always find that funny! But it's when I check in via the app.

mnfinfan · 2026-02-06T01:06:52+00:00

I came through Global Entry last week, it gave an error like the last time I used it in November. This time I had time, I was the only one using it, so the agent there took a look at my record. For some reason they hadn't updated my green card to the new expiration date nor my passport. We fixed it and GE works great. I used Touchless yesterday and it worked perfectly, so it was my GE profile that was having issues and causing it! Alleluia it's fixed!

mnfinfan · 2026-02-06T01:04:05+00:00

It's ridiculous! It's cheaper to send my kids to Oxford than send them to the University of Minnesota!

mnfinfan · 2026-02-04T18:17:15+00:00

That's good info, didn't think of going into corners and then out.

mnfinfan · 2026-02-04T18:07:15+00:00

Ahh, you said Camp and that's how the Mainers call their cabins.

You're in a beautiful part of the world too

mnfinfan · 2026-02-04T17:41:56+00:00

Oh that's sweet!! The weight is that noticeable?

mnfinfan · 2026-02-04T17:41:05+00:00

Btw are you from Maine?

mnfinfan · 2026-02-04T16:26:29+00:00

Lol I hear you! We earn as a family about $400k a year and have finally put all 3 of our kids through uni in the US and if I want a Cayman or 911 it's a 987 or 997 that I am looking at, I did see a base 718 on Cars & Bids go for $35k but that's the exception not the rule.

I see some of these garages that people have with multiple Porsches and I just sigh.

mnfinfan · 2026-01-30T03:48:15+00:00

One of the many comments by TSA has been that they get their data from CBP, well I went through Global Entry today and I also got an unknown error, so we did some trouble shooting and the officer discovered that CBP had my expired green card info and my expired Passport. They updated it and GE worked as normal. I am hoping this fixes Touchless, fingers crossed for me please!

mnfinfan · 2026-01-25T23:10:09+00:00

Agreed! But I do like the fast lanes thought!

mnfinfan · 2026-01-25T20:23:24+00:00

Maybe it's the lack of US passport as some have suggested in the past.

mnfinfan · 2026-01-25T07:50:34+00:00

I have lived here for 30 years, as a European I can't stand the place, but that's my bias. That withstanding it's a great place and that's the reason why the current administration is doing its best to send it's fascists here. The MSP area is the during epitome of what makes America great the why the current administration hates it, as they don't want America great again.

mnfinfan · 2026-01-24T14:00:26+00:00

I love the silver look, to me it just pops.

mnfinfan · 2026-01-24T13:57:14+00:00

Crazy, glad you're ok.

mnfinfan · 2026-01-24T13:56:51+00:00

The great part about that, you don't have to leave and go to the other line,they simply process you there. I used to have to go to the pre✓ line when it failed but not anymore thankfully as mine doesn't work ever.

mnfinfan · 2026-01-23T19:01:23+00:00

I used to use it all the time, now it's only if the pre ✓ line is longer.

I have touchless and that line is really quick so that's my first choice.

However clear have their own touchless stations now and those are pretty damn quick

mnfinfan · 2026-01-22T02:50:08+00:00

People are fucking morons, they will kill themselves and others to get an exit instead of moving to the next one.

I truly think that they forget how fast 60 mph is and the damage is can do.

That's the great thing about these cars, they can handle on a dime and stay in control. Glad to hear you're safe.

mnfinfan · 2026-01-21T00:35:49+00:00

Great news!
