Second Global Entry Reimbursement?
 
My wife and I got Amex Plats last year and both got Global Entry. At the time they told us children under some age (14?) weren't eligible for GE. Now it seems like they've gotten rid of the limit and children can get GE. So my question is, if I apply for GE for my daughter using the Plat, will the second fee also get reimbursed? Anyone have experience with this? (I would guess that if there were multiple GE charges all at once, they wouldn't all get reimbursed, but I was wondering if I might get lucky because they're spaced out in my case.)

If I remember correctly, Amex gives up to three authorized user cards for the 175 fee. You could add you daughter to your amex account, generating a new authorized user card for her. This way, amex will see the new gloabl entry fee post on a card that hasn't gotten the credit yet. As a side benefit, your daughter's credit would benefit from being an AU.

Considering this as well. I have a corp card with one plat card (mind) and about a dozen gold cards (ee's). I used the GOES reimbursement last year for myself and would now like to get one for my wife. Does anyone have actual experience getting / applying for multiple GOES on the same, exact same, card?

They did not reimburse me for the second (my wife's) application. It was a few months after mine (which was reimbursed), but within a single calendar year.

Get Nexus - it's only $50 & it includes GE & AMEX will reimburse two, for a total of $100.

I did not see this as a benefit of the more expensive Canadian card - why not?

I asked Amex for cards for my children for just this purpose, but they said they had to be 16 years old to be an AU - is anyone aware of this limitation?

I got my daughter's when she was 15.
Used it for GE.

Didn't ask anyone, just filled out info online and cards appeared.

Great when we travel as I am only FF, but all three of us get triple-beep at Pre-Check.

When I enrolled my wife in GE I paid with my PC not expecting reimbursement but I was pleasantly surprised when it did go through

Ugh, I just filled out my Global Entry application- when I got to that step it made it sound like to interview for Nexus you had to go to one of the enrollment centers near the US/Canadian Border (http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/tr...xus_enroll.xml), so I just went with Global Entry.

However I do also want my boyfriend to get Global Entry, since we frequently travel together internationally-- he also travels a fair amount for work. If I wait until next Calendar year to pay for his, will I get reimbursed?

is this in addition to a global entry fee reimbursement or instead of applying for the Global Enrty, apply for two Nexus (nexsii?)

I have the same question and I am waiting to apply for my SO next year.

I called Amex to inquire about this and the CSR clearly informed me that at this time, only one reimbursement per card, and it is not a yearly perk.

But did you follow rule No. 2 - HUACB (hang up and call back)?
