DFW Precheck
Mobile BPs are not enabled yet as per LH.
The airport check-in at the counter is required to get the annotation on the BP.
Precheck lanes are only available near the D22 gates. This works out in any case since The Club lounge is near there.

Remember that you have to get the boarding pass from the desk. The mobile app and personally-printed ones don't show it. It's just text on the BP, too (no logo, etc.).

Flying LAX-MUC tomorrow and I just checked in/printed my boarding pass at home. As noted above, despite my TTN in the system, no PreCheck on my boarding pass. And since there is no PreCheck at TBIT, it's pointless to stop at LH check-in. Is the PreCheck info in the bar code? I just bought a refundable AA ticket so I can be guaranteed PreCheck when I enter tomorrow at T4.

Agree that it's not a big deal at an airport like IAD where PreCheck exists at adjacent security access points.

It seems TSA is giving prefential treatment to pre check pax at TBIT/EWR/etc: you get a yellow card and keep your shoes on and laptop/liquids stay in your bag.

I have no problem with a 900' walk and would rather walk than have to rely on a yellow card and a maybe PreCheck lite. Even with a PA escort, you still have to deal with lines of other non-PreCheck passengers unless the PA is ruthless and cuts everyone off to get you to the front of the conveyor. I'd just as soon take the relaxing T4 route. And I can usually park close enough to the T4 bridge that it's arguably faster and more convenient than LH check in/TBIT security, even with a PA.

I am in an identical situation (UA ticket on LH metal, UA MP#, got boarding pass at airport).
But no precheck ... even thought I have TSA Pre via Global Entry

Yes, via my UAMP#. It was a UA ticket on LH metal. That said, my wife who checked in online was surprised to see her trusted traveler number in a field when she checked in on LH website. But since she did that she got no PRE on her BP. Hence my investigation and the press release I found linked in the OP.
Presumably eventually online and emailed BPs will get the designation too...?
