How do you obtain a Global Entry Card? I applied online, paid the fee ($100), and completed the TSA in-person interview when I arrived at Philadelphia Airport. My AA credit card covered the application cost. It is valid for 5 years. The price just increased to $120.00.
After you receive your Global Entry card in the mail, take a photo of it. Keep a record of it. Enter your Global Entry number when booking your trip. When it is time to travel, show your card at check-in to use PreCheck.

Do I need an appointment to complete the application?
80% of applications are approved, allowing the applicant to schedule an interview within two weeks.
I didn’t need an appointment because the calendar was backed up for a year, so they waived the requirement and let me complete the interview at specific international airports in the US. The interview took about 15 minutes. I needed my NJ driver’s license and current passport. I was electronically fingerprinted. I answered a few questions. I was asked if I was ever arrested in the US.

How do you know if you are approved?
Schedule and attend an in-person interview
One week later, I received an email that I was approved. I should receive my Global Entry card in the mail shortly. The card is valid for 5 years.
How do you use the card?
When you enter the US or fly domestically, you go to a Global Entry kiosk and scan yourself in. You don’t have to wait in line for TSA or passport checks. It fast-tracks you in a few minutes. I am so excited. I have waited for hours in the TSA and passport lines over the past 39 years of traveling.
Do I still need a TSA PreCheck?
Global Entry gives you TSA PreCheck.
Who can apply for Global Entry?
Global Entry is open to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and U.S. legal permanent residents as well as citizens of certain countries with which CBP has trusted traveler arrangements, including Argentina, Colombia, Germany, India, Mexico, the Netherlands, Panama, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
