Just spent 30 minutes with the MP 1K desk and the end result was to tell me that the code generator is messed up and that I should just pay and then submit my receipt to [email protected].
The big problem is that I didn't requalify so my status is up 1/31. What do you think the odds are that I'll get my credit?

even if you don't get it, the $100 is well spent. (Of course, it's better if you get it).

Success!!
Following on my call yesterday (see post #762), I decided to try something slightly different than suggested.
1) I sent the following email to [email protected]
To whom it may concern:
I have tried, without success, to request a personalized code with which to apply for the Global Entry Program. After speaking with the 1K Mileageplus line, they recommended that I email this address to request a $100 personalized,stored-value credit card code, which can be used as payment during the Global Entry application process.
I have not yet completed an application for Global Entry.

MP Number: W*********
MP Status Level: Premier 1K
I can be reached at ***-***-**** if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Yuengling
2) three hours later, I had the following email response
Dear Yuengling - I have gone ahead and requested to code for you. Please allow one business day for this to process.
3) today (18 hours later) I got
Dear Yuengling,
Your personalized code for the Global Entry application fee is ready.
Please return to united.com/globalentrycompensation to view your code (may require sign-in). You will also be presented with the code's expiration date, billing adress and SIC number, which are required to redeem the code, during the Global Entry application process.
4) signed into united.com/globalentrycompensation and got the prepaid Mastercard number and then went to the Global Online Enrollment System. Took the MC number without incident.

Requested my credit by e-mail on 11/29. Got the auto-response e-mail.
Still haven't heard anything. Nor have I received a TravelBank credit.
Just sent another e-mail.
I should've known better than to think this would be easy with the new United

Used the link posted on earlier posting, I got an personalized code looking like a credit card number after 3 days or so.
Name on card: Global Entry
Billing address: 600 Jefferson St., HQJAP Why use this address?
Houston, TX 77002
Credit card type: Master Card
Credit card number: 5550XXXXXXXXXXXX
Expiration date: XX/XX
It states that Applicants must be Global Services℠, MileagePlus Premier® 1K® or MileagePlus Premier Platinum members at the time of application to be eligible for this benefit. I wonder this number could be used for a ticket purchase on UA.

Another UA IT Issue?
I've been trying since midday yesterday to get a UA Global Entry reimbursement code. I've tried eight times, including this morning (a few minutes ago--8:10 AM EST.) The continued, automated response is "technical difficulties", "try again later" Probably yet another IT glitch?

Still Busy Trying to De-Entitle Elites
Finally got access to my UA Global Entry MasterCard credit--near midnight last (Friday night). Only took 12 "tries", a complaint Customer Care email, and a day and a half. Way to go UA! Glad to see you're still busy trying to de-entitle elites.

Good luck with it working. I submitted for my code in January and got it within a day or so, but the credit card is rejected by GOES and UA still hasn't managed to get their head out of their backside to give me a new code.
UA tells me to call GOES. GOES tells me it's UA's problem.

It took me 4 months (almost to the day) to get my $100 credit.
After literally half a dozen e-mails back and forth with the 1K desk.
They finally just said they would send me a check. About a week later I did receive a check... from Continental airlines.
Oh well, it didn't bounce, so I'm glad to finally have this resolved. I probably made about $8/hour on the deal
