The free Pre✓ went away for me a long time ago (on UA flights, never got it on handful of AS, AA and DL/WS), and with so little traveling I am not about to pay for it
Doubt it was verbal, as the person doing the scanning was quite a ways from person I notified. But I was not paying that much attention.
Next trip, next month, in a month, this time with UA.
