I've heard your chances of getting expedited screening as a trusted traveler is not as high with SW. Anyone here with experience? I'm 3/3 with Delta/UA (got global entry a month or so ago).

I've always gotten it on more SW flights than I care to remember.

UPDATE

Quote from: @Yehuda on October 13, 2014, 12:09:12 PM

Can you add precheck to a ticket you've already booked? Where do you do that?

Being that I only got approved for precheck after I booked a few tickets, I wanted to try to add my number in retroactively. For a flight on AA, I was able to login to my reservation and add my "known traveler number" in there. I called up AA and they confirmed that my number was in the system and would be on my boarding pass. Sometimes you can trust a CSR because TSA PRECHECK printed out on my boarding pass! On the plane now after having enjoyed my first precheck (besides for 2 times I was randomly selected for it).

I also have a SW ticket that I booked before being approved for precheck. I was able to add my number to my SW RR profile, but I could not add it in to the actual reservation. I called SW and they told me it's not on the ticket, but they gladly helped me add it over the phone. Hopefully everything goes smoothly when I get to the airport.

Data point for the timeline here: I had my interview and was approved for precheck on Motzai Shabbos, got my confirmation email later that night, and my number worked for a flight I took Wednesday morning.

Precheck only comes on the BP, so no matter when you purchase the ticket or when you add your KTN number.
On this matter you can trust the CSR, cuz they can only tell you that the KTN is in the record

They told me no more walk-ins.

But they opened more appointment slots to accommodate.

So they denied your walk in at JFK or they told you that on the phone?

Made an appointment which I was not able to make - Cannot reschedule within 24hrs and left messages with the office.

Any advise on how to reschedule?

My son is coming from Israel on ElAl. There was no where to add Global Entry # online.
I called rep and he said it can't be done. Is that true?

Also, he does not have the card with him. Will the number be enough?

if he has global entry, its connected to his passport number and he should just go straight to the kiosks

It asks for primary residence. I'm a bochur living in Israel for over 5 years. Any ideas what I should write? Anyone have experience with the GOES website?
