Was the Miami-Santiago segment on American on LAN?
If you're on a domestic flight connecting to a foreign carrier, PreCheck will often work. It's a rare blessing if you get it on an international itinerary entirely operated by a US carrier.

Prechek worked for me at DCA flying DCA-JFK-CDG. I figured it worked because I had a terminal change at JFK, arrived at DL and left AF from term 1 so had to go through security at JFK again.

If possible with the terminal set-up, just buy a refundable domestic ticket on another airline, check-in for your international flight, check-in for the domestic flight and clear security using the domestic flight BP. Once through, cancel the domestic ticket.

I think that takes more time than it saves.

It probably does, but I cannot tolderate lines, so if it means no line, it is worth it for me, even if it takes more time overall.
Also, for me, 99% of my travel is international. I made literally one domestic flight not tied to an international itinerary in 2012 and have made none YTD. I am pissed that I don't get access to this benefit and anything that sticks it to TSA is goodness in my book.
And, if sequester induced wait times increase significantly, it may actually be a time saver.

In an interview published today on the website of The New York Times, Pistole indicated that PreCheck for international flights will arrive in the "near future."
"Q. When will the program cover international travel?
A. We reached an agreement with the European Union, Canada and Australia for them to accept PreCheck passengers from the United States. So starting in the near future, those people that are part of PreCheck or Global Entry will be allowed to go through PreCheck when they fly internationally."

In the United forum, somebody indicated that a screener in Newark said PreCheck for international would be starting on May 6.
Screeners also say that photography is prohibited and they're not all thieves, so take it with a grain of salt.

No PreCheck when flying international
I am flying EWR-IAD-DUB on UA and I have precheck on my Electronic BP for the first flight, but not the second one. I have a 15 hr connection at IAD, so maybe that's why.
Unfortunately, I really want precheck at IAD to save time on my layover - but doesn't look like that's gonna happen. Wonder if I can accidentally scan my EWR BP , which will likely still be on my phone and see if that will get me through. If it doesn't work, I just say "oops wrong BP"
