I was preselected and I have no known traveler number in my profile. I've gone through the preselected line every single time I've traveled since it came to MSP (which is every week excluding this week since this is the first week I haven't traveled this year). I also wasn't enrolled in any of the other government programs until I applied for GE late last week. I have my interview at JFK Sunday while on my way to CPT.

There is no doubt that "elite" travelers qualify without having a known traveler number in their profile (or at all).

But Delta/TSA officials haven't ever made known what the cutoff is for free inclusion as an elite (either GM or PM, I believe) or how often they add pax as they qualify.

I was FO when the program rolled out in ATL and was not included. I am now GM, but was never selected in ATL until I was approved for GE and added the number to my profile. This leads me to believe that the cutoff is PM, but here is what I still don't know:I gave up with the guessing game and just paid for GE, but it would be really nice of Delta to clarify the program better. That is probably the TSA's role, but as a government agency it would likely take a miracle for them to communicate this information clearly to everyone anytime in the near future.

GM+ can qualify. Ask the TSA agent at the pre-check gate for a flyer. They were handing them out to SkyPriority flyers at MSP the last couple times I went through.

Hah... I asked in ATL and they said "it's random, you weren't selected today, go to the right lane, keep moving."

Happened to me at LAS this past Monday. The TSA agent said my wife and I were both eligible and to go through that line. There was no one in line there (regular security line was packed), and I went through with shoes on, laptop in my backpack and liquids in my carry on. Super fast and really nice. I didn't sign up for anything beforehand that I can recall.

Your first two posts are misinformation...

Same here. 2 for 3 out of DTW.

I'm 1/3 out at DTW (Global Entry, DM basis). :td:

One time the green light came on but the TSA checker said "use the normal line"

Question, I got approved and received my Global Entry card on 2/22. I have a flight tomorrow and I'm Silver flying out of ATL. Is there anything that prints on the boarding pass at all on whether you made the cut or not? The reason I ask is I believe that the South T gate that the line is in is for Gold/Platinum/Diamond so if I go down there and I haven't made the cut then I need to go all the way back to the regular line rather than just popping over to the elite line.

Thanks

#1 -- Make sure your GE info is included in your profile. If it isn't, chances are slim you will get through PreCheck anyway. Actually, you can't even check on that now since it it locked at T-72 hrs. It is either already in there or it isn't.

#2 -- Technically you have to be 'invited' by DL to enter through PreCheck so it is possible you are not coded properly anyway.

#3 -- The TSO operating the scanner may let you go through the SP line if you scan red.

TSA uses the barcode on the BP to determine if you get through or not. Very important: Just because you have GE does not automatically allow you to use PreCheck.

1. If he hasn't submitted his PASS-ID with his Secure Flight info, then he won't be able to use PreCheck.

2. You do not have to be invited by Delta. Providing a TT PASS-ID is sufficient to be eligible for PreCheck.

I'm assuming you associated your Global Entry number with your SkyMiles profile and the answer to your question is that the Pre-Check is embedded in the scannable code on the BP AFAIK.

+1
and the PreCheck gate is a far walk from the car rental. For me it's worth it.

Thanks for the responses.. My GE is in my profile but I think I actually booked this flight before I got my info in there. I called Delta and they said it was associated but who knows with them?

I guess I'll find out today what's going on. One plus is that I think with my Delta Reserve card I can go through the medallion line anyways so it might not be a big deal. Plus it's a Sunday afternoon, shouldn't be too busy.

Maybe I'm missing something. In ATL I just walk right to the precheck line at the south secutity and scan my boarding pass. No issues there, no need to be "invited".
