For SoFi users: if you have a Money account opened before June 9th, 2020, you have unlimited ATM fee rebates from any ATM worldwide. Recently they have been offering an upgrade to their new checking/saving account w/ higher interest rates. DONT DO IT, you'll lose the fee rebate

Sometimes things break. Time to be proactive…..
Years ago if you boarded an Illyushin 86 without a jetway, you walked up stairs into the cargo hold then internal stairs into the cabin. I always thought it would be so much faster if all airplanes were like this and you stowed and recovered your ‘checked’ bags on the way. I’d pay extra to not have someone handle my bags.
