A short quote:
Now the hotel chain is the first hospitality brand to participate in a first-of-its-kind security partnership with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. U.S. citizens who sign on to Loews’ loyalty-rewards program, YouFirst Platinum, gain complimentary enrollment into the DHS’s Global Entry program and allows guests to expedite airport screening with TSA PreCheck.

A short quote:
Global Entry applicants must submit a detailed travel history and other personal information to the government online and then sit through an in-person interview with customs officials at an airport. The cost is normally $100, good for five years, but Loews announced Monday that it would refund that fee for platinum members of its YouFirst loyalty program. Hotel guests earn platinum status after 10 stays in a calendar year.

A short quote from him:
The PreCheck program is expanding its partnership beyond just airports. Loews Hotels & Resorts worked directly with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to offer its YouFirst Platinum loyalty rewards members complimentary enrollment in Global Entry program. And being registered for Global Entry means that members are automatically qualified to participate in TSA PreCheck.
