Is GE worth it for someone who doesn't travel that often internationally? I travel internationally once or twice a year, but when I do, it's usually out of LAX and we all know how LAX gets sometimes. To be honest, $100 isn't that big of a expense in the scheme of life.
Thoughts?
Thanks
I travel internationally 1-2 times a year (more this year), so yeah, the time saving isn't huge.
While I applied because I hate standing in lines, my main reason is to avoid getting grilled by CIS agents in a bad mood with a pissed off look on their face. I don't want / need to feel like a criminal when I come back to my country, or that look of contempt / disgust when you tell them you just came back from a translant MR.
And like you said, $100 isn't that big of a deal.
Also, if you travel to/from Canada, consider NEXUS. IF you do, make sure you apply NEXUS and them GE, not GE and then NEXUS. You save $100 that way.
