Yep. This is what I did as well and am now 100% pre-check on WN.

As a heads up, you may want to do this before the T-36 auto-check in if you're A List. My corporate travel agent had only my middle initial in the reservation for a flight tomorrow. Usually I book myself. I noticed on the iPhone App today at about T-30 that it wasn't showing TSAPre. I called in and the agent was able to add it, but he said he had to delete my A List Preferred boarding pass. He said to make sure I checked in at T-24. Although when I checked in a T-24 I was still A22. So he may not have have know what he was talking about.

On a side note, I really like the new function in the App that shows if your TSAPre is attached. It's under Manage Trips and then click on a flight. It shows it right next to your RR number.

Are you on iOS? I'm not seeing this on Android.

Yes. Sorry. iOS. Just noticed it after the last update of the App which I did on 6/17.

This is what it looks like.

I have four scheduled flights at the moment (as a companion), but only one of the four displays both passengers like the image posted above. Oddly, that one is an international flight, and it shows the primary passenger as having pre-check, but not the companion (me). Of course, neither of us will actually have pre-check on our boarding pass for that flight.

That's great! I got NEXUS/PreCheck a couple of months ago and don't have any scheduled flights for a couple of months. I just called csr service today to have my middle name added. My wife's middle name was on her RR act already.

All 6 flights we have show Pre Check on the app. Not sure if they were set before I called to add my middle name.

EBCI. I always buy for my companion even though I'm A List Preferred. I don't like the whole seat saving hassle, but that's for the 100's of other threads.

I signed up for PreCheck in late December 2015 and added my KTN to my various profiles on December 31, 2015, to include Southwest's profile. I got an Invitation opt-in email about two months later saying I am welcome to use PreCheck and could get a KTN by visiting an enrollment center.... which I did two months earlier. However, I noticed my online Southwest profile now had the option to opt-in or opt-out of PreCheck.

My wife added her KTN to her account maybe two weeks ago. She currently does not have the opt-in/out choice yet on Southwest. She has no middle name, so Southwest profile has a blank spot and of course her KTN profile has "NMN". I wonder if I need to have Southwest add NMN to her Middle name field. Thoughts??

Good to hear it's not just me. Besides saving the seat saving, I don't get the blame for a bad number draw.
