PreChek and Global Entry
Government websites are so confusing and can't be read logically. Can't find any definitive answers on this so I figure people here probably know better.
I already have Global Entry and the government says once you have it you can also apply for PreChek, but spending over an hour on all the relevant government websites I can find there is no definite place to sign up for PreChek for Global Entry people, and doesn't say they don't have to apply either.
So which is it, am I "automatically" eligible for PreChek (just show them my Global Entry card) or is there some place that will finally allowed me to apply for PreChek and get approved right away as government advertised?
