- Ah, I was too lazy to look for a link, but I knew someone would ;) -- nm - Meg Sep 1, 19:19

DHS website says I only need TSA precheck. I should probably get that. I really don't travel outside the US that much and won't be for a couple years. - sycor Sep 1, 13:20 22
- I applied for both TSA Precheck and Global Entry because the latter would take so long to complete. - Mop Sep 1, 15:55
- I have Nexus (which is the Canadian side of it, and includes clearance by USA). It includes Global Entry and TSA Precheck in the US. I will never - Andie Sep 1, 14:12 1
  - (and even though it includes both, Nexus costs $50, half the price of Global Entry. Woo!) -- nm* - Andie Sep 1, 14:14
- TSA PreCheck is utterly worth it. I'm gonna apply for Global Entry in January (for SaoPaoloSTravaganza next November). -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 1, 13:32 3
  - SaoPaoloSTravaganza ?? I don't remember hearing about this. LOL -- nm - sycor Sep 1, 13:35 2
    - I might have just made it up. And it's subject to ty97's approval of course. I'm planning to go to visit Marlowe and go to the Brazilian Gran Prix (F1) next November. -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Sep 1, 13:39 1
      - That sounds like you will have a blast. -- nm - sycor Sep 1, 13:49
- I got Global Entry because the price was included with my credit card perks. It includes PreCheck and is good for six years. -- nm - Max Sep 1, 13:31 2
  - I don't think either one of my cards covers it, but I'll definitely look in to it. -- nm - sycor Sep 1, 13:50
  - If your credit card also covers it (as mine does), I also highly recommend Clear. -- nm - pmb Sep 1, 13:48
- Unless something has changed, precheck = $85, Global Entry = $100 and includes Pre-check. Both fees are for 5 years. -- (edited) - ty97 Sep 1, 13:23 7
  - Good point on the price. -- nm - sycor Sep 1, 13:24 6
    - Yep, get them both. I literally can't recommend Precheck enough if you plan on flying at all in the next 5 years. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 1, 13:37 5
      - I've had pre-check since they piloted it circa 2010 or 2011 with frequent fliers who already had Global Entry. Worth it completely. -- nm* - ty97 Sep 1, 13:39 4
        
        I've been randomly give Pre check once or twice and it is really nice. -- nm - sycor Sep 1, 13:50 3
        
        I think they have mostly stopped that (some of us complained about the freeloaders making the line longer :) - ty97 Sep 1, 13:54 2
        
        Yep, American used to give it to me (randomly) at check-in. I thought it was the 'old lady' benefit :/ -- nm - Meg Sep 1, 14:31
        
        Ah, makes sense. It was shortly after I got my SSA ID card at work and had to go through all the new background stuff for SSA so I wasn't - sycor Sep 1, 13:58
- Cost difference to get Global Entry is pretty negligible, so personally I would just get it. -- nm - pmb Sep 1, 13:22 3
  - Yeah price is a pretty compelling reason to do it. This also reminds me my passport expires in... maybe 2024. - sycor Sep 1, 13:25 2
    - Remember to renew that one well in advance of expiration, like >6 months. -- nm - Max Sep 1, 13:32 1
      - I think I got it around May 2014. I figured I'd start the process next May, just to be sure. -- nm - sycor Sep 1, 13:34
