But if you had GE, they were letting people jump the line and use the GE line within the facility.
It probably saved me 3+ hours between trying to get into the facility and then navigate the regular line, since they were sending MPC into the (impossibly long) regular line.
So I think of it as (free) insurance in case I encounter something like that again.
Right, but my point is that I wouldn't pay out of pocket for it. Because many CC's cover it, keeping it is a no brainer. If the CC's stop covering it, it's not really "free" insurance.
