<p>Anyone gone through and gotten CBP Trusted Travelers status to get the expedited international re-entry and to use TSA Pre-Check domestically to avoid the scanning (usually)?</p>
<p>I read the “how to” at globalentry.gov, but does anyone know how long it takes to get OK’d and get the issued card and number?</p>
<p>Unfortunately I can’t answer those questions…but weirdly enough, Delta just did it for me. They apparently paid for it and applied me for it, without me even knowing. I’m a diamond medallion, longtime customer, but it was surprising. I don’t get the TSA pre-check privileges with any other airline, just them. I didn’t understand how they did it, but it’s a heck of a deal.</p>
<p>Well for $100 (non-refundable), if it works domestically on all domestic airlines set up for the program (almost all domestic US carriers appear to be) AND getting through customs–that is very reasonable.</p>
<p>Maybe I should figure out a way to fast track this and get it on all the airlines, seeing as they’ve apparently already done the security screen. Well worth it for heavy travelers, it is so nice to breeze on through the short line, not taking your shoes off and bags apart.</p>
<p>Here is the list of airports that participate for international arrivals.</p>
<p>[Global</a> Entry](<a href=“Global Entry | U.S. Customs and Border Protection”>Global Entry | U.S. Customs and Border Protection)</p>
<p>If I read all this correctly, if you get a Global Entry number, you enter it at the time you make the reservation and it is good on all participating domestic airlines at every location (airports) that has the bypass arrangement.</p>
<p>The following is the list of airports that already have the TSA Pre Check systems in palce</p>
<p>Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport, Concourse T, Domestic Terminal South Checkpoint
Boston Logan International Airport in Terminal B, Main Checkpoint
Charlotte International Airport, Main Terminal, Checkpoint B
Chicago O’Hare International Airport in Terminal 3, checkpoint 8
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Main Checkpoint
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in Terminal A, checkpoint A35
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in Terminal C, checkpoint C20
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in Terminal D, checkpoint D30
Indianapolis International Airport, Checkpoint A, Lane 1
Las Vegas McCarran International Airport in Terminal D at the First Class screening lane
Los Angeles International Airport in Terminal 4, checkpoints 11 and 12
Miami International Airport at the D2 checkpoint
Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport at Lindbergh Terminal, checkpoint 4
New York JFK International Airport in Terminal 8, checkpoint 1
New York LaGuardia International Airport, Terminal B, Concourse D
Portland (Oregon) International Airport, Concourse A, B and C
St. Louis International Airport, Terminal 1, Concourse C</p>
<p>Interesting. This would be a good list to hang on to.</p>
<p>I did this. Had to drive to another city in another state for the interview process and the photo. I have found that so far it is almost completely useless. If you travel abroad, coming back through customs my husband used his and I went through the regular line with our daughter (who does not have the card). He finished only 30 seconds before I did. Domestically, even though my home airport is on the list of participating airports, I have never been allowed to go through the pre-check line, I present my card, and they send me through regular security. My husband has been allowed through the fast line ONE time. I think if you go to the trouble of having the card, they should honor it, but they make it random whether or not you can use it at our home airport. I feel like it was a waste of my time to get the card.</p>
<p>OP- I didn’t answer your question!! You have to make the appointment online (and appts available when I did it were about a month out), then you have to go to the appt, where they give you a temporary card with your number. The actual card arrived about a week later. It all depends on when you can get in for an appointment (which you schedule online). I found the whole thing to be a pain in the rear in retrospect, as it has not been as useful as I was led to believe.</p>
<p>I have it and get pre-check 100% of the time, and absolutely love it. I don’t fly too often, but when I do, it’s great to not have to remove your shoes or coat, and the TSA agents are much nicer. Most offer to help me with my bags and don’t rush you out of the way. </p>
<p>The only downside is that I do occasionally fly Southwest and they don’t participate, so it’s back to being with all the people who don’t understand how to remove their laptop and put it in a separate bin or walk through with a mint’s worth of change in their pockets</p>
<p>07Dad - i did this last year. After going through a lengthy online app, you get to the end and it says "now pay your $100 - and something like “if you delete this app, you cannot reapply” You soon find out that your $100 is non refundable.</p>
<p>I think I got the pre approval within a week and then you have to make an appointment. At that time, I had to fly to Chicago for the in person interview. It took all of one minute. The feds now have my fingerprints!</p>
<p>The key is to link your airline perk card with your trusted traveler/global number. Otherwise, it will not print on the boarding pass and your friends at the “special” security line will reject you. For some reason Delta could not get my full middle name on my FF account. They MUST match identically for the process to work.</p>
<p>I wonder how this differs from Nexus, which is what all in our family have had for years.</p>
<p>07Dad–you left a number of airports off your list. This is the most current and complete list, broken down by airline:</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.tsa.gov/sites/default/files/assets/pdf/location_chart_03-28-2013.pdf[/url]”>http://www.tsa.gov/sites/default/files/assets/pdf/location_chart_03-28-2013.pdf</a></p>
<p>I have Global Entry and love it. It is wonderful not standing in the immigration line behind people who have no idea how to address an Immigration agent. My former employer paid the $100 fee, but it’s well worth it and has saved me lots of time coming back into the US. </p>
<p>Since I have Global Entry and have a CDP sticker on the back of my passport, I’m supposedly automatically in the Trusted Traveler program, but I haven’t been to an airport terminal that has it set up.</p>
<p>My daughter just received her Global Entry card in the mail today. She travels international for work and United gave this to her free due to her status. She made an appointment while she was home in Atlanta as she couldn’t get an appointment in DC before she moved. She was at the appt for less than 15 minutes, they took her on time and took her picture. Her appointment was last Tuesday and the card came today. I had to activate it for her and now will mail it to her DC office for someone to carry to London for her.</p>
<p>I have Pre-Check on Delta. There is no universal Pre-Check. It’s done airline by airline. It didn’t cost anything. I’m Platinum on Delta and they just asked me if I wanted to apply for it. I think a filled out a brief on-line form. There was no fee or card issued. My Pre-check status is somehow encoded on my Delta boarding passes. As far as I know I don’t have Global Entry, because I think that is a separate program.</p>
<p>Pre-Check is great. If you are at an airport that has a Pre-Check security lane (and so far not all that many do), you no longer have to get half-undressed to go through security. It’s like it’s 1995 again, except you still can’t carry large volumes of liquids. The only thing you have to take out of your pockets is your cell phone. You just put your carry-on through the X-ray and walk though a simply metal detector (not the personal X-ray booth). Quick and simple.</p>
<p>It used to be the sweetest words you could hear at an airport were “You’ve been upgraded.” Now they are “This airport has Pre-Check.”</p>
<p>Coureur–there is universal pre-check, it’s just not available to the general public 
I have it</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You need an airline tie-in to register for pre-check, but anyone can just sign up with a participating airline as a rookie member; pay the fee, show up for an appointment, and receive your card in the mail.</p>

<p>According to TSA website:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>According to the American Airlines website, if you are flying American and are enrolled in the CBP’s Global Entry program, you enter your GLobal Entry nmber at the time that you book your flight on American and it is ***in the barcode ***on the issued ticket/boarding pass.</p>
<p>My particular interest is how the Global Entry number works when flying back to the US from foreign locations. Does that Global Entry number get special treatment at US customs across all carriers or is it just for participating airlines? </p>
<p>I am trying to also see if the TSA Pre Check works smoothly for those who have to enroll in Global Entry rather than have a particular participating airline do the TSA Pre Check enrollment.</p>
<p>Seems that the NEXUS number can be used by Canadians for TSA Pre Check for US domestic boardings on “participating” airlines.</p>
<p>Not having to do the shoes, belt, computer and bag drill domestically seems to be worth a one time $100. For those who travel out of the country to be able to clear customs easier is valuable in time and hassle.</p>
<p>People on CC are asking all the time for ideas for HS and college graduation gifts for their student. Mine flew domestically regularly while in college and has been out of the country numerous times since HS. He has a birthday coming up and I may get him enrolled if he is interested because he has trips to Peru, Colombia and Rwanda already in the works.</p>
<p>Global Entry is NOT tied to your airline, as immigration is not set up for specific airlines. THe kiosk is a bit ‘big brother’, as you scan your passport and it know what flight you just came from. </p>
<p>Not every US international airport has Global Entry, although it is expanding. You can also use it leaving Canada, as you clear US Customs in Canada before you board your flight. </p>
<p>In the past year, I would estimate Global Entry has saved me easily 4 hours of waiting in line.</p>
