Have you checked your ESTA first?

My guess is it may have something to do with the current COVID-19 situation.

But I could be wrong.

That is my guess too.

Good luck man, I'm in a similar boat (although I'm a US citizen who got revoked after 2 years of having/using GE without any reason given).

You can try logging in to the portal and request a reconsideration but the obvious awkward thing is that while they say "feel free to provide any information or documents necessary to help clear up the issue," we have no idea why we were revoked in the first place.

Definitely keep us updated though, personally I'm pretty lost on what to do next.

Interestingly this happened a few hours after I asked the UK Border Force for a new GE Access Code to start the renewal process so I'm guessing that making this request has triggered some automated denial.

I had similar a couple of years ago. (Also a British citizen). Tried an FOI request and got nothing.

I contacted the CBP via the web contact form and as predicted they sent a very wordy reply that told me nothing new. I plan to reapply after the proclamations are reversed/revoked (not sure what happens with proclamations) and see what happens.

Did you ever reapply?

no, I haven't bothered to reapply.

what do you mean by proclamations?

The presidential proclamations that banned US travel for those in the UK/EU.

Welp, yet another attempt to get more information or reconsideration for my revocation got shut down.

I made a request via DHS TRIP about a month ago and received a response today. The response from DHS themselves was fairly generic: said they can't confirm or deny if I'm on any federal watchlists or reveal any sensitive law enforcement information, gave me a redress number to "prevent any potential confusion at the border," and included a response from CBP about my revocation.

CBP's letter essentially outlined the series of events as I know them without providing anything useful: "you were revoked because you do not meet guidelines for participation. You then requested a reconsideration from the ombudsman who determined no change was warranted. Sorry."

Obviously I'm not going to pay another $100 to re-apply when I have zero clue why my existing membership was revoked, but I don't understand why it's been impossible to even get information on why it was revoked.

I'm stumped.

The information is classified as LE only. But you can certainly take a guess on the reason of revocation.

I really have zero clue. I've had GE for about two years and used it several times internationally, and precheck countless times domestically. Never had any interactions with police or law enforcement, not even a traffic ticket. Never had any issue at an airport or going through customs, nothing more than "oops forgot I had water in my water bottle" when going through security.

I traveled internationally just a couple weeks before I was revoked so I don't know if it's coincidental that I was shutdown shortly after that, or if it was from something in the past.

I'm completely stumped.

Based upon your posting history, it would appear as if your AAdvantage account may have been locked for churning. If that is correct, perhaps AA security flagged you.

Would breach of a consumer contract be a basis for revoking GE? If someone defaults on their car loan, does that mean they could lose GE?

That's a good question. Global Entry and the other Trusted Travelers programs are for individuals who are deemed to be low risk. Does a breach of a consumer contract or defaulting on a loan take one out of the low risk status category and makes them untrustworthy?
