LOL, good Eye. But good to hear that it works instantly. Curios if one applied for GE can they swap it for a TSA interview instead? Or one is stuck with GE interview and needs to go down to the airport?
Uh, no. You don’t need to activate it to use GE or PreCheck. That’s just if your looking to use the card. Like by land. Although you do have to wait for approval, which can be right away or sometimes even up to 30 days. (Usually happens within a few hours but have seen a few exceptions)
Would a replacement global entry card be covered by any credit cards that cover GE or do they only reimburse certain price increments?
I applied in June and still waiting for conditional approval.
Any update on this one? I also applied in June for my youngest 3 kids and still showing as "pending review" over 9 months later. My wife and I and our oldest child were all approved. I paid for these 3 applications with GE credits I purchased on DDF (as opposed to prior apps where I used my own CC) - would that potentially be a factor in the holdup? Is there anything that can be done, or just need to wait indefinitely?
I reached out and they said it can 13-14 months.
+1. Had GE for a family member approved in Jan 2024 that took 13 months.
is TSA pre check any faster for approval?
