Global Entry and G4 Visa
Since UA gives me Global Entry for free as a platinum member I got a bit curious about it. I am a Swedish national with a G4 visa, am I eligible for GE? If not, any of the other trusted traveler programs? Not that it's a big pain to use the diplomatic line, but TSA-pre would be nice.

I don't think any of the "G" visas are considered Permanent Residents, (you don't have a "green card") so no, I don't think you're eligible for GE.

Global Entry is open to U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, Dutch citizens, South Korean citizens and Mexican nationals. Canadian citizens and residents may enjoy Global Entry benefits through membership in the NEXUS program.

SENTRI is the Trusted Traveler program for the US-Mexican border and yes, it does come with Pre and Global Entry included. It's more expensive, though ($122).
