TSA PRE-Check & US preferreds (Update: Now with PreCheck noted on boarding passes)
Has any one heard if US is going to sponsor their preffered members in the TSA pre-check program?

I got an email from US several months ago asking for my permission to give my info to the Feds for the program. Haven't heard anything since then though.

I never got an email from US, but according to the CBP site I was eligible for precheck as a global entry member. So apparenty all I have to do is attach my trustd traveler number to my US DM info. Alas I haven't gotten to take adavntage of it yet because all of my flights have been international which apparently disqualify you from using the precheck lines. So I assume you only get to use it if you're flight is wholly domestic? Any US elites have any success with it yet?

From the CBP site...

Precheck worked for me when flying Delta (based on my Global Entry status, I have no status with DL).
I could not use precheck at the very same check point the following week when I was flying US.
US is supposed to be on the Precheck system late this year

I also put my Global Entry number in my US profile, and have used it with AA flying out of DFW several times - it's very convenient. Pre-check has yet to arrive to PIT, and I haven't traveled on US out of DFW yet, so I can't say whether that will work or not

This thread took a hard right turn into debating US air security policy. We have a whole forum for that -- over in the Travel Safety & Security section. Kindly leave that contentious (and off topic) discussion over in TS&S and keep this thread focused on US participation (or lack thereof, at the moment) in this TSA program.
Thank you,

Where in the profile do you enter the Global Entry number? I received the invite email, opted in, and I have Global Entry, but try as I might, I can't seem to figure out where to enter the GE number on the profile.

Click on your account in the top right corner of the US homepage. Once there click on account information on the right hand side. Scroll all the way to the bottom until you get to other information. Then copy and paste your trusted travel CBP number into the known traveler # area.
However, when I made my next reservation, I added it into that field successfully. I got a pop-up message asking me if I'd like to modify my profile to include that number. I said yes and it captured it. All of my subsequent reservations have contained both my Redress and Known Traveler numbers.
