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.

To add to this, I was "conditionally approved" for GE last night after submitting my application five days ago. Logged in to schedule my appt and the next available at SFO is NOVEMBER 23rd! Yikes! I guess I'll have to check on a regular basis for short-term cancellations. Just FYI for anyone in the Bay Area.

I thought it should altho Amex said it can't. If CBP does not tell them the name of the applicant how would Amex know who it was for. I don't think they should be giving any information out.

I have 3 additional card holders on my Amex Plat but they all have global entry. If I want to get other family members Global entry credit, do I need to change card to their names before charging Global entry credit? Thanks

No, you can use the credit for anyone. Just make sure each application is charged to a different card.

Do centurion reimburse global entry if NOT a US issued card
Apologies if covered... if I have a UK issued Centurion card will that be refunded if I set up and pay for US global entry or is it just a US issued card benefit?
Thanks
Thanks

Any recent data points on Amex reimbursement time? Applied/paid for my renewal last week and have not seen the reimbursement yet. I made some DL purchases on the same day. They posted 1 day later (alongside the GOES fee) and the airline fee reimbursement applied the day after that, but it's now going almost a full week on the GE reimbursement.
Trying to figure out if I should be worried yet. IIRC the credit posted pretty quickly during my original application. It's been 63 months since my last reimbursement so I should be well into the clear on the 5 year limit.
