- Global Entry and TSA PreCheck are a great way to upgrade your travel. Though it can be expensive, which is why I recommend using a credit card that offers a credit for the program. In this video, we'll review the cards that offer a credit for Global Entry and TSA PreCheck, and share tips if you're looking to apply for these programs.

Have you paid for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck using one of these cards? Do you have any other card suggestions for those looking for a GE or TSA PreCheck credit? 🤓
Just flew back from the Philippines and the Mobile Passport line was tremendously shorter than Global entry line getting back into the US. Especially when traveling with family it was well worth the money to bypass the immigration line. This was also recommended by my friend that works for DHS.
Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear that you were able to get through the shorter line with Mobile Passport. 😎
thanks for this video 👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks for checking out the video! 👍
Invaluable info Earnest, I was just approved this month for global entry and used my American Express Platinum Card. Bare in mind it can take several months to process. I do also recommend the personal talk if you want specific advice on maximizing your card set up. Thanks again for the great content my west coast friend. M.. Moore
Thanks Michael! I appreciate the feedback and support. 😊
amazing content
lovely stuff
My AmEx Platinum credit paid for Global Entry, and the renewal (that took 8 months for approval). Awesome credit card benefit.
Very nice! 👍
I currently have the Amex Platinum and the Chase Ritz Carlton cards. I used the Ritz Carlton benefit to pay for the Global Entry for myself and my fiance at that time because I utilized the free extra card holder I get with this card getting this done for $200.00 FREE. Also I have the new Penfed Visa Signature Pathfinder card. I got this card when it was the Penfed Amex Pathfinder card. As you said it offers Global Entry also. I didn't get this card for Global Entry obviously. I got it for the $100.00 travel credit with the no annual fee. A no brainer keeper card. And I heard the new benefits being added on makes this card a very good travel card at NO ANNUAL FEE!!!
That's awesome. Those are great travel cards to have in your wallet! 👍
Hands down the IHG Premier. $89 you get Global Entry/Precheck, free anniversary night, and since it's a World Elite Mastercard you get cellphone protection and other little benefits. Plus the sign up bonus is bananas right now. And you also get Platinum Elite status for when you stay at IHG properties. This card IMO gets you what I feel in expected value is at least $200. For $89 you cant beat it.
I completely agree. The amount of value from the card is hard to beat! 👍
I have TSA precheck and mobile passport...Mobile Passport has gotten me thru lines faster that global entry 🙌🏾
Thanks for sharing your experience! That seems to be the case for many people with Global Entry. It's definitely a viable option when returning back to the US. 👍
I'd have to say this is definitely a "YMMV" type of thing. I recently came back from the UK with a friend who doesn't have Global Entry. I got him to use mobile passport, while I used Global Entry. I still got to spend about 30 min waiting on him at Starbucks after collecting my bag.
lovely content
Thanks!
nice video
I literally just signed up for it!
Very nice! 😎
Delta's new Skymiles Platinum card added this credit as well.
Thanks for the heads up! I knew I missed a few cards with the benefit. 🤓
Thanks for the VID! To bad NY residents are now not allowed to apply.
I'm surprised that that decision hasn't been reversed. I can't imagine that there isn't a resolution that works for both sides.
The resolution is for our governor to stop blocking access of the federal government to records. Because we have politicians in ny that care more about illegal people than tax paying citizens, this is why we are in this situation. There are consequences to silly policies. Unfortunately I and other new yorkers are being punished for this.
It's a good video if you already have any of those cards. I dont see the benefits of applying for more cc, then pay for annual fees that are more expensive than GE.
I think it depends on the situation. If I had a family member that needed Global Entry or TSA PreCheck, I might be inclined to get a card like the Capital One Venture or IHG Reward Club Premier. That way, at least I'm earning a large welcome offer along with the credit to offset the fee, or in the case of the IHG card, a free hotel night stay every year.
Used the credit here in NY from my United card, but apparently there is a new law here that doesn’t allow new applicants or renewal for Global Entry.
I can't believe that they haven't resolved the issue yet. I hope the state and federal government sort it out soon. 😬
Trip Astute I don’t think they will. Just got refunded for my application. Oh well. Guess I’ll try again after this clears out
do you need to have a passport to get the global entry the app location asking for passport id number....good video
Do you mean for Mobile Passport? If so, you definitely need to have a valid US Passport to use it. You also need one if you're applying for Global Entry. 😊
Do you have to buy your ticket with the United card to get the benefits or just having it is enough. I am talking first bag free, priority boarding etc.
Usually yes
It's mixed. I believe the free check-in bag requires that you use the card for the ticket purchase. However, the priority boarding and award seat availability are connected to your United account, so they are not dependent on you using the United Explorer card for purchases. Since I usually travel with carry-on only, I tend to purchase my tickets on my CSR instead of the United Explorer card.
Problem is how LONG it takes for the Global Entry application to even get reviewed! I submitted my complete application on December 2, 2019, and it's now 3 MONTHS later and it still hasn't even been looked at! Status is still listed as pending on the website. I think it'll take at least 8 months for approval, if not a whole year, based on other forums I've read. Ridiculous.
I hot the precheck my guy. Trump is ruining it for global entry
Mine took 6months. I did it last year when the government shutdown hit so it had a note at top of screen saying there’s a delay in the process. It’s not that bad and once it’s pre approved there’s only an in person interview which you can do on your way back from an international trip.
Yikes. That is terrible! I can't believe that it's taking so long to process these Global Entry applications. 😬
Hey Ernest, this is a great video; however, I wanted to know what you think about this new credit card management site (walletflo.com)? I'm starting to attain more cards so I want a way to manage all of them... Do you think this is the best app to use? Would you do a video on the top three (3) apps to use? Thanks
Thanks Cedric. To be honest, I haven't tried WalletFlo yet. Though I think it's a great idea for a video. I'll add it to our pipeline. 👍
@@TripAstute Cool thanks, I'm looking forward to it--you make very good detailed videos--I usually learn a lot from them. Everyone in this "space" all talk about getting 10, 15, 20 cards to play this game well; however, no one talks about how one should or can manage that many cards and qualifying rules to attain them.
I’ve had my CSR for 2 years now and still haven’t applied for this yet 🤣
Masoom Patel oh no baby, what is you doing? Lol
You should definitely do it! 😊
Trip Astute ima applied for the CSR next week. But I have Experian $19/monthly subscription but Ima concern is i might get denied due to Experian places security freezes on my account. What are your thoughts?
Yes, I've heard of applications getting denied because of credit freezes. I would call them to make sure to suspend the freeze before you apply.
Trip Astute much appreciated, thank you bud.
Maybe get 4 different cards that offer Global Entry or TSA Pre ✅ and rotate every year!? Just throwing it out there 🧐
I think you can only renew within one year of your expiration date, so it might not be helpful to have so many cards with the benefit. 🤓
Trip Astute Good to know. Great content btw. 👍
I paid with my capital venture card for my TSA Precheck but it’s not showing my alleged $100.00 credit.
I'm also having a problem with one of my Capital One Venture X credits. I recommend calling them to report the issue.
👍🏽
Thanks! 😊
The title of this video is misleading as you are actually advertising for the credit card company and not explaining anything useful for the GE card.
Sorry if you felt misled. The point of the video is that you are interested in getting Global Entry, you should consider a card that reimburses the application fee (rather than paying for it). Most people would end up ahead using this strategy.
Global entry is a waste there not even reviewing applications
It sounds like they have a huge backlog at the moment. It's a shame too since it does save a lot of time when traveling back into the US. And the TSA PreCheck that's included is a nice bonus.
Trip Astute I just came back from a trip out the country and they let me thru the TSA pre check line without having it and I didn’t even go thru customs wen I came back I just walked out the airport
Nice! 👍
For new applicants, yes. Renewals actually seem to be going a bit faster and with no interview.
Chase is terrible, Please be aware, chase bank steel your money out of your saving account monthly, they call it service charge, I had $1,438 on my savings I'm checking my savings today they kept charging me each month and my balance is $ 887 today , I wish I never opened any account with this steeling business holders
too many worthless words get to the point already.
Sorry if I annoyed you! That was not my intention. 😞
