I can obtain the police certificate number but I don't have a promotional code. Complete waste of twenty minutes. It would be useful to have a check-list at the start or something pointing out that unless you have been issued a promotional code there's no point in going any further.

Good afternoon,
Thank you for contacting U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
We apologize for the inconvenience. We encourage applicants to check the eligibility requirements prior to applying for membership to be sure of their possible eligibility. You may view the eligibility requirements on www.globalentry.gov. Unfortunately, there are no more promotional codes available.
Thank you for your interest in CBP.

Bumping this thread to see if anyone else has had an update or news of if/when the Global Entry program will be opened up to all UK passport holders. Any info would be much appreciated, particularly with the current waiting times for immigration in the US.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I managed to secure a code from UA, just before their batch expired on 31 March. I guess we'll have to see if the trial is extended. German nationals can, I believe, apply for a scheme which partners with GE, via the German Police in Frankfurt.

I'm surprised that with the close ties the US and UK share that we haven't been further up the list of approved countries.
