I've noticed the same thing. However, when i send the boarding pass to passbook, precheck is listed again.

As American Airlines and US Airways are still operating as distinct airlines, this question is being moved to the appropriate pre-merger airline forum.

I've seen this as well -- didn't receive PreCheck on the app, but reprinted my boarding pass at the airport on a hunch, and got it on the printed one. If I don't get it on the app, I always make sure to reprint.

The US Airways app is ridiculously unreliable for me. Half the time, it won't even deliver an eboarding pass, and will require that I print one out (for example, for a flight tomorrow FLL-PHX-YVR. FLL and PHX both certainly accept eboarding passes).

Getting a BP through the app has been a problem for me as well. If I have to check in through the app (especially the Android app) I print a BP at the airport.
I usually print out backups in case the phone goes screwy. I always print out one for TSA so I have it in my pocket during security, rather than on the phone in my bag out of my possession momentarily. (I've had to show my Precheck BP after ID check at a non-Precheck checkpoint to avoid the NoS/shoe carnival.)

Had PreCheck on boarding pass as well as my husband (same PNR) but have absolutely no idea why. I was a lowly silver and only had two flights last year. But my question is, when I next fly I will be 73 and will not have to remove shoes, etc. do I go through PreCheck or regular line?

I too have had issues with PreCheck being listed on my BP. In fact, on the day of the integration (March 31st), I moved up to an earlier flight to CLT from CMH, went straight to the TSA Precheck line per usual, and then got called out by the TSA Agent who said I wasn't PreCheck eligible....I then looked at the BP and saw that TSA PreCheck didn't show up, and even double-checked my DM profile and my TT# was still listed...

The ticket counter agent printed the new BP for me; however, this had never been an issue in the past as the BPs for my moved up flights had always shown TSA PreCheck. I just assumed it was a possible glitch with the integration happening on the same day perhaps?

Anyone know what time Pre Check closes in PHX T4? If you go through after it closes do you still get any of the benefits?

So, just to clarify, I'm a US preferred that has gotten PreCheck 100% of the time when flying AA metal (although never when flying US). Although I always get PreCheck, you're saying AA didn't sign me up for the program (with a Known Traveler Number)? So there's no way to figure out my KTM and use it when flying other airlines?

So I have pre-check through opt-in with us airways and with global entry. In the last six months I have had 100% success rate with having pre-check until now. I have only had it on one of my three flights as of recent. The first time I didn't have it it was a British Airways award ticket although my US Air Plat number was on the reservation and my known traveller number was stored on my US air profile. Flight operated by US.
Then I had another British Airways award ticket operated by US but precheck worked that time.
The most recent flight without precheck was a US ticket operated on US and after getting through security I went to the US Air Club and they confirmed my known traveller number was loaded and I had opted-in to precheck.
Has anyone else had similar experiences?

I recently had the experience of being SSSS'd at the origin (international) airport and then having the 3 beep pre-check after clearing customs and going through security again for my connecting domestic flight.
I did notice that the foreign airline did not print the pre check on the boarding pass so when coming back I made a point to get the boarding pass reprinted after customs.
