to enroll- definitely
question is what happens when you cancel the amex. does the PP account stay open (my guess) until year end or something. or will PP be notified and shut the account right away. (clear possibility, as they warn about occasional updating)
we'll know that in a few months...

Rumor has it Global Entry is now free for Plats (and Black as well). This is both for primary and additional cardholders. Anyone have an Amex link with the juicy details?

this link? http://transformtravel.americanexpress.com/#/global-entry/details

Okay,but doesnt the PP card have its own separate expiration date?

What about the global entry program ?
It says its valid for 5 yrs..... need the plat still be active?

There is no membership card for Global Entry - it is linked to your passport.    You scan the passport at the kiosk, scan your right hand, and off you go...
 
In addition, there is a little sticker they put on the last page of your passport to show the customs guys (that's the long line after you pick up your luggage) that you're entitled to cut in front of the line.
