Then I found out that I entered the expiration month wrong. I tried it again within a few minutes and it was accepted. So make sure that all info are entered correctly.

I'm wondering if it's something silly like a 5 digit vs. 9 digit zip code.

I was able to reschedule for a friend from more than 3 months to less than 7 days with less than two hours of trying and re-trying. It is best to do this trying and re-trying during the hours Global Entry office is open.

Applied 12/15, got an email today just 3 business days later and shocked. 
Thought that they must have rejected me outright since the processing time was really short. I was planning to log in 1 month later to check the status. 
Once logged in, I was conditionally approved. Very nice surprise. ^^^
I will transfer at IAH next month. There was no problem to get the spot that I wanted. It seems that IAH are widely open at this moment.
Now a question to the current GE-ers. It was reported many times that one won't get Pre-check if he/she enters the GE # and not US citizen. Currently, I am able to get Pre-check (2 out 2) without the GE membership. So, is it wisely not to add the GE # to FF program? Anybody has different experiences to share?

TSA now has a booth at IAD to sign people up for GE. They walk you through the application online. I just filled it out yesterday before my flight back to LAX. Wondering how long it will take before I can schedule the interview. Good to know about the "refresh" button. I'm also curious how it's working for people to use TSA prescreen with airlines on which you do not have status - using your GE number. I only have status right now on UA.

Coupon Code for Global Entry from United
Recently status matched from Delta Diamond to MilelagePlus PP and cruising around the website (which needs serious work) I saw a link to receive a coupon code for GE? Any other PP applied for this coupon and received it? Just trying to figure out what my chances of getting it are.
