Traveling tomorrow, did not gt the invitation letter/email but do have my Known Traveler Number. After a bit found where to enter it on the contact web page, called A-List line and reservationist added it to my current reservation as well.
Just printed my boarding pass at the 24 hour mark and came up TSA Pre. Nice to see it working properly for those of us with Global Entry. ^ ^ It's been a huge time and stress saver with DL this year.

I was just able to talk Rapid Rewards to get my known traveler number added to my existing reservations. I had added it to my profile, but apparently they had to delete my RR number from each reservation and then add it back, which then pulled in the known traveler number. This is all very new to them, because my representative was rather tentative initially, but I presume the learning curve won't be too long.
I also confirmed that if one has a known traveler number, then you don't have to wait for the opt in email from Southwest.

Went through PHX C gate, once again an agent at the beginning if the chutes pressing a left/right arrow screen and sending me to the fly-by lane. No scan of BP. What use is chute lady?

So is there consensus that if you have current reservations you need to call to have them updated to get pre check? Based on my experience today that would make sense. I didn't receive the message on my account, but I did add my known traveler number from global entry. I can't remember the exact day I did that. I made a new reservation yesterday and had had pre check on my boarding pass today through MCO this morning. I had another reservation that I believe was made before I added my known traveler number and pre check was not printed on my boarding pass this afternoon through TPA. The screener at MCO was surprised and said she was the first one from WN she saw going through the line.

Sorry if this has already been noted, but for what it's worth, I called Customer Relations and asked about existing reservations that were made *before* one opted in to pre-check. I was told that those reservations would not qualify for pre-check for those folks who are only eligible via airline opt-in. Obviously, if you have a KTN via GE/NEXUS, you can update an existing reservation via calling up WN.

Texas..not true what CR told you. Just an hour ago, while waiting at the EWR gate for my flight I called SWA CR about my AUS RT that I'm taking this weekend. I booked those a month ago. The very nice SWA Customer Rep said it was her first time adding TSA PC, but she knew how to do it. However, first she verified that my profile showed the airline opt-in. If you're a valid SWA TSA PC opt-in, call CR and they simply delete your RR# on each ticket and add it back in and you're golden!

Was pleasantly surprised when I checked in for my flight tomorrow and it showed Pre Check on the boarding pass. Not sure which was more impressive, the A-01 on the boarding pass or the pre check notation.

A List Preferred here, just called about a Saturday flight out of SFO, CS asked if I received the Pre Check letter or email, which I have not, it's a no go for me. Let's see about the following Friday. CS claims they are still notifying A List people about qualifying for Pre Check. I thought all it takes is search A List, make them Pre Check and the emails are automatically sent?

Anticipate 4-7 days for "conditional approval" for Global Entry, then schedule & attend your interview in days/weeks/months.
Most folks are reporting pretty much immediate full approval within minutes/hours of your interview. I received the email approval notification before I had even made it back to my car @ the IAH international terminal garage.

I'm a A+ with CP and received the opt in. However, my companion who flies 90%+ of the flights I do, did not receive the opt in. Has any companion received pre-check opt in when he/she only traveled as companion in the past?
