Check your credit cards to see if any have a benefit of paying for it.

Otherwise you just sign up and then they do the background check. You will have to do an “interview” which is really confirming your identity and showing you how to use the kiosks.

It's my understanding that Global Entry takes longer for the background check. -- nm - Mop Jan 8, 08:10 1
- I have no idea but the first time you’re stuck in the customs line you’ll wish you paid the $15 -- nm - spamlet Jan 8, 08:14
Yup this. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 8, 07:58
100% Agree. Easiest thing ever. And despite always saying "all interviews are booked" you walk in and it takes 5 minutes. -- nm - MDH Jan 8, 07:49 2
- Yep. They didn’t require an interview when I renewed last year. -- nm - pmb Jan 8, 07:53 1
  - They don’t for renewals but still require it for new users AFAIK. -- nm - spamlet Jan 8, 08:09
