Anyone know if children under 12 need to get global entry if both parents have it?
They need their own.

When do you get the bonus after you pay the $450 annual fee or as long as I spent 3k and paid the points will show?

They don't need their own pre check though.

The bonus is tied to you spending what they say say you need to spend in whatever time frame. I don't see them saying that you will receive the bonus upon paying the AF.

JIirc you can ask to have pending points expedited if the AF was paid.

Does anyone know if there's a good chance that someone with a 670 credit score will get approved for Biz Plat, BRG and/or personal Plat or is it a waste of an app and time to even try?

Don't know . Nor do I think anyone can tell you for sure either way. I do know somebody that got approved for a biz plat though with a score of 689 .

Do they have anything negative on their credit report? Like late payments?

They need their own.
So when going through TSA  (  PRE is included in the Global entry ) they can't go through with you?

Certainly likely that they'll get approved. Amex is pretty easygoing. Expect an FR, though.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

How much does credit score matter when it comes to an FR? If you have a really high score does that minimize the chance of an FR?

What's the connection between score and FR exactly ?

Not so much the score, as what's behind the score. High util., New accounts.. could all be a reason for amex to be concerned.
