I logged on to check to see if yesterday's flight was posted and got the invite. Yesterday was my last flight of the year. I'll see what happens in January.

A+ and didn't get it but put my GE number in my profile. Had a flight already booked for next week. Wonder if I need to call to have it added to that res?

Added the Trusted Traveler information (have GE). We'll see if this works (I have one flight the rest of the year, for Thanksgiving.)
Welcome to the party, WN - just (un)fashionably late.

No one here received the invitation, but my wife and I added our GE to our profiles.
Our first test should come next week. BWI adds Precheck to terminal A on the 13th and we fly WN the next day.

I tried to add my trusted traveler number to my profile but it won't update because it won't accept my address.
I called and added my number to my existing reservations but she said that her system didn't have a field to the trusted traveler number to the profile.

Is this true? I thought the Secure Flight data was not sent to the TSA until shortly before departure, in which case I always assumed the Trusted Traveler number was submitted at the same time?

I would guess some folks are jumping the gun when it comes to how quickly WN and TSA will have things such that WN passengers will actually be selected for pre-check. Perhaps a couple of weeks or so.
Also, just because you're opted into pre-check via your airline doesn't mean you'll get selected all the time or even half the time.
The best way to make sure you are selected is to join GE/NEXUS and the new Pre-check program via application the TSA is supposedly rolling out this fall. Unfortunately, the TSA is not accepting applications yet and it requires a visit to an application center - and the only two announced to be up and running when the program launches is IAD and IND.

A+, CP, and 64 flights YTD. Got the same blue box to opt in as I logged into SWAbiz. I hadn't planned on logging in but did so based on these FT posts this morning so thank you folks. I'm not sure what good it will do with no PreCheck at SJC or BUR that I am aware of. Maybe I should double down and finally get GE going.
