Hi Guys!
I am new to the thread and TTPs! I finally did my Global Entry interview at LAX this past fall, but haven't received my membership card. And I only found out when I checked the website again today that, the officer who interviewed me seemed to have updated my address wrong. I live on a 36th Street but he put in 37th.
Now I just want to clarify a few things.
1) I don't need a physical card to use GE at airport checkpoints, right? What about GE at YVR? (i.e. I can just use my passport to pass through?)
2) When I tried to report a lost card, it asks to charge me additional $25 and another interview. Is there any way I can avoid that fee? (since I really don't think it's my fault. If anything I am a mere victim)
3) I believe I should definitely change my "current address," but it seems that I will need to report to a GE interview location for another interview? Do I need to make an appointment? Or do I just walk into any? What about the Pre-Clearance at YVR?
Many thanks!

You can change your address online. If in person, an appointment is not necessary.
Good luck.
