I haven't got an invite yet, despite being A-list preferred. 
Theoretically I don't qualify because I'm LPR not a citizen (and don't get me started about how ironic that is given how much biometrics and background checks were taken to get the green card) but I have no idea how WN would know that I'm not a citizen, and given their IT systems I'm more likely to believe incompetence than sophistication.
Anyone else who's a citizen and A-list still not got an invite?
I was kind-of-hoping that I'd get pre-check through WN because a non-citizen Known Traveler # obtained through GE explicitly disallows pre-check.

...how about if you (hypothetically) might be known as a TSA antagonist at several airports?
I am afraid that my past civil disobedience against then-draconian TSA policies will insta-boot me from Pre-check consideration. I feel like I may have won the battle but lost the war.
A call to the A-list preferred line offered no intel: there was a trial group, we don't know when the next invites will go out, we don't know if any a-listers will be excluded.
Thanks,

I doubt the TSA's IT capabilities or Southwest's are good enough to concern you. Please report here when you get PreCheck, as I expect you will.

I still think the best way to get PreCheck is go get GE or NEXUS. It'll get you cleared on every PreCheck airline.
