Does anyone know if there’s anywhere else in DFW to get a wristband or a priority line anywhere?

I saw mention on one of the travel forums that some Airlines were letting them be picked up in the Clubs.
American wasn't specifically mentioned -- vague recall it was United and maybe one other -- but if I ended up going on my Hawaii trip next month I was going to check just in case it was a little known AA option.

This is all new to me as last time I went to Hawaii, they did the checks upon landing in OGG. Which AC does the checks and gives the wristbands? T4 or T5? I'll be flying to LIH in a few weeks with my parents so want to make the process as seamless as possible.

The T4 staff told me when I checked in at the Admiral's Club, after I waited what felt like forever at the designated area. Shame the check-in agent did not mention it.

I've gotten wristbands pre-departure roughly 10 times and been cleared in Hawaii (pre-wristband program) roughly 10 times and the airlines are light-years quicker. The staff on the ground in Hawaii were just totally inept. They'd literally just stare at my paperwork for a minute+ several times looking for different info. I'm usually on Alaska and it's +/- a 15 second process. They scan my QR code look up my saved/uploaded vax card and I'm off. The lines at the terminal can look daunting by they move quite quickly.
