that simple? and don't i then need an interview or something?
That simple. Yes, you need an interview after you are approved. (I thought tsa pre also needed one.)
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

You do, but to get credited for it, just pay for it. Don't need to have the card as a Platinum at that point.

TSA pre-check doesn't require an interview but you have to get finger printed. There are a lot more locations to get fingerprinted with an to get an interview for GE in my area and I'm in Southern California.

Will consolidating credit lines with Barclay result in a hard pull? Rep says yes, but it's not her department that does it. I couldn't tell if she knew what she was talking about.
