TSA Precheck Not Valid Unless SouthWest Opts You In?

I haven't flown SW in a few months, and I've got an upcoming flight tomorrow. As with all airlines, I updated my profile to include my global entry number. I've been successful at getting Pre-Check with AA, US, & Alaska. However, Pre-Check didn't appear on my ticket when I checked-in today.

I called SW and was told that I will not see Pre-Check unless I receive an email from Southwest asking me to opt-in into the program. In other words, they don't care you've been been approved by the government; the theoretical benefits won't translate into real-life benefits randomly selects you to join their Pre-Check program.

Anyone has any advice how to get SW to opt you in?
