Received my Global Entry card in the mail today (picture is not bad, other than being b&w).
It was mailed locally from Houston and says it was created on July 25th.
It comes with a protective card "condom" sleeve for the RFID chip similar to what my Euro ID or old Italian permesso card had with gold/silver lining.
So my original GE approval was 1 July 2008. Then:
---I applied for the card with all updates on pay on the 19th or 20th of this month (I need to find my receipt LOL I think it was the 20th)
---Received my approval notice this last Monday the 25th, when card was created.
----I received card today.
Not bad other than paying the 15$ extra.
Now I debate whether I try to use it at TSA checkpoint next week...hmmm.
