While my renewal is still pending, my upcoming flight still shows Pre. That takes a load off. :o

Less of a hassle when you have extra time to find dates that work for you, though. In general, I would assume that if you require a renewal interview now you will still require one in 6 months....

For those conditionally approved for renewal, postponing “the interview” can mean postponing membership denial and pretty close to immediate withdrawal of GE and related PreCheck benefits after the denial. In other words, there may be some benefit to postponing the final approval-seeking interview for renewal to pretty much as late as possible before even the 6 month (post-printed expiration date) extension window closes.

GE, and often enough PreCheck for GE members, continues to work for 6 months after GE membership expiration. Also, being rather near or at retirement age gives lots of people PreCheck even without GE/PreCheck membership operational.

Yes, but only if one actually has travel plans. Otherwise, one needs to set an appointment within 30 days and then reschedule, perhaps multiple times, once they do have travel plans. And accidentally missing an appointment can mean having the whole application canceled.

Has there been a single example of someone having G.E. revoked at one's renewal interview?

As with some conditionally approved applicants being rejected at the interview step, so are there some conditionally approved renewal applicants who have been rejected at the interview step. I've only mentioned this repeatedly because it has happened, and there is nothing to suggest that it won't continue to happen from time to time.

I don't recall a single example of someone's G.E. being revoked at the renewal interview. Frankly, it makes no sense that such a person would be allowed to keep G.E. until showing up for an interview.

CBP has decided that not all renewal applicants should get final approval for renewal without an interview and instead has conditional approval requiring an interview for some renewal applicants. And CBP has used the interview to reject some of the conditionally-approved during the interview step.

You've said this several times now, but without posting any examples. Who would be an example of someone who is allowed to hold G.E. until expiration but then gets rejected upon renewal?

Someone who has a conviction after last issuance/renewal that is pick-up at renewal time.

That is out of date information.

Currently, conditionally approved applicants have a full year to complete their enrollment interview; it is no longer required to login within 30 days to select an interview date.

Failure to schedule an interview in that timeframe will cancel your application and you will need to pay again and reapply if you still wish to be a member.

And for initial or renewal membership applications, applicants with conditional approval need not even schedule an interview as long as the conditional approval applicant performs the interview within 365 days of receiving conditional approval.

The language about “Failure to schedule an interview in that timeframe will cancel your application and you will need to pay again and reapply if you still wish to be a member” really is no longer correct, and it should instead read as meaning a “failure toschedule or complete an interview in that timeframe will cancel your application and you will need to pay again and reapply if you still wish to be a member”. The CBP language was completed without considering what enrollment on arrival means to conditionally approved applicants who never schedule an interview but just use EOA within the relevant time frame.

While renewal applicants with conditional approval have 365 days from conditional approval to perform the interview, there may be a need to keep in mind that the GE membership benefits (inclusive of GE’s PreCheck allowance) don’t apply for more than 6 months after the renewal applicant’s printed GE membership expiration date.

Why would such a person be conditionally approved for renewal? They don't perform the background check at the interview.

The second and third sentences of the text you quoted are contradictory. That said, if conditionally approved renewals no longer need to schedule an interview within 30 days of notification and then possibly deal with juggling future interview dates to match travel plans, then it would make more sense to renew sooner rather than later.

Conditionally-approved renewal GE members no longer need to schedule an interview within 30 days of conditional approval. Such GE members may no longer even need to schedule an interview whatsoever if using and completing the EOA method to get final approval for renewal before 365 days pass from the conditional approval date.
