USA-issued American Express Platinum and Centurion cards accounts are eligible to have the $100 application fee for the Global Entry program reimbursed. Each eligible card can receive one $100 credit every five years. Additional cards are eligible for the credit if the additional user's application fee is charged to the additional card.

Within 5 or so IIRC.

thanks. Hopefully it's really that quick for me. I chatted with Amex and they said it should credit within 6-8 weeks

GE Hawaii

Has anyone applied for GE from Hawaii?

If so, how does the interview work.

I have been getting TSA precheck very frequently but its value has dropped significantly since they have expanded the program (though I'm glad they have expanded the program).

Can we edit the thread title to delete the word "New" at the beginning?

My heart starts racing every time I see "New Centurion & Platinum Benefit..." and then I see it's just the GE refund and my hopes are dashed again.

No first hand experience but I've been reading online they've closed the Nexus loophole

When you travel as a family with a child, do each family member need to apply for GE to be able to go through pre-check lane?

http://www.cbp.gov/faqs/my-travel-co...-can-they-come

My travel companions (children, spouse or co-travelers) are not Global Entry members; can they come through the Global Entry kiosk with me?

No, only Global Entry members can use the Global Entry kiosk.
http://www.cbp.gov/faqs/are-children...l-global-entry

Are children able to enroll in Global Entry?

Yes. Children may enroll in Global Entry. Minor children 18 years or younger are required to have parental or legal guardianship permission.

Applied on September 1st.

Got approved September 3rd.

Scheduled interview for the next day (September 4th) at JFK.

Noticed there were a few interview openings throughout the week so now would not be a bad idea to apply if you're based in NYC.
