Yes, buyer is just using your card during the GE signup process.

How is this generally done, when selling it on this thread? Does the seller give the buyer his cc #? Or does the buyer give the seller his info, and the seller applies for him? None of the above? Thanks.

Do I need to make an appointment date when I initially sign up for GE?

After they approve you, they will prompt you to make a appointment.

Is there another CC that returns the global entry fee besides Amex Platinum? I was thinking of getting it even for the $100. For just a few trips in 5 years it seems worth it??

What is the average time between signup and the appointment? 24 hours? Days? Weeks? Thanks.

Global Entry is super worth it, even without a discount. Landed in PHL today, and was out of the airport within 45 minutes of touchdown because of Global Entry. Skipped the massive lines at customs. And it comes with pre-check.

Saw some mixed comments. It sounds like yes but Ill ask anyways:

Global Entry for me only makes sense if my whole family can use it. A) Does my wife need her own Amex thats eligible or does AU work? B) Can my kids (infant+3yr old) get it under my Amex? (I believe yes but want to confirm)

A)  AU works. B) you have to get more AUs for your kids.
