The actual card? for what?

TSA took it on a recent domestic flight.

According to the GE officer I met he said nope it's worthless. He calls it the worthless card.

I only use my GE card

And I had a whole bunch of tsa agents tell me that my global entry card does not work for tsa pre check. Classic DROR.

The card didn't have anything to do with tsa as far as I understand. Am I incorrect?

The card officially has nothing to do with precheck.

Doesn't global entry automatically give you tsa pre check ?

Yes but that has nothing to do with the card.

IIRC you can even get GE without the card.

On the website it states that you get the expedited TSA check but you need a passport for travel.

For TSA pre if my wife's ticket is her married name and TSA pre is on her maiden name would they be able to give it to her at check in?

"..Eventually we needed to update her Global Entry information with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Megan doesn’t travel internationally all that often. Her passport and ticket information were still under her maiden name during our honeymoon, so we faced no problems then. But an update would be required to use TSA PreCheck for domestic flights now that all her tickets were issued under her new name.

When we first enrolled in Global Entry before our wedding, we raised the topic and were told by a friendly CBP officer that we just needed to show up at an office unannounced.

It is possible to change your passport number online by yourself if you get it replaced. Name changes require an in-person appearance. Fortunately, we were told that an appointment would not be necessary unless we wanted to get the physical Global Entry card replaced, and we were told this card wasn’t actually necessary.

Before I go any further, I’ll skip to the punch line. Having gone through the process with Megan — and despite all the hassles thrown up by other officers — this original information is correct. Just show up. If they give you a hard time, persevere using the advice I provide below."

Does anyone know how to contact the GE office at lax? I called the number but no1 answers!

I can tell you this much, that Ewr didn't pick up by me either a few times.
Tried again and they picked up.

I called ethiad to add my global entry to my ticket and they claim that it can only be done at the airport (JFK). Anyone have experience using it in AUH?

I did it about 2 months ago and it took about a week and a half.
