Global Entry approved, then immediately revoked
Did my interview at San Ysidro. Received my card in the mail a couple weeks later. Went online to activate it. Would not activate. Looked at the notices posted and it appears that a few minutes after sending the approval email, they sent a message revoking it, saying that I did not qualify for Sentri. Well, I don't know what Sentri is really, and I certainly did not apply for it. I've sent 3 emails to the email contact listed over the past few weeks, but no response.
Guess I'll drop into the office at LAX and try to ask some questions. Anyone been through this or any insight on what I might expect?

You did something wrong - Sentri (which includes GE) is the special status to allow speedy entry into Mexico, or into the US from Mexico (like Nexus for Canada). To get Sentri you have to be approved by both the US & Mexico. I have Nexus, but I think Sentri also has an additional requirement that you have to register a car & have it inspected by Mexican authorities.

rubesl is correct. I looked at that, too, and realized I'd never want to use it. I almost accidentally selected it, though, when applying online, so wonder if that happened to you. Or maybe that there was an assumption that you'd also want SENTRI, given your proximity to Mexico.
