You can add any KTN to your UA profile and it will be applied to all future bookings and may be applied to existing bookings. If you have just received a KTN and have existing bookings, it is best to go into each booking and add it. You will see a field for a KTN next to the Redress #. Be certain to leave the Redress # blank.

Apologies for resurrecting this thread, but it seemed preferable to starting a new one.
A family member is enrolled in Global Entry and has their KTN entered in their UA profile. They are flying with a group on UA with a UA ticket and part of their itinerary has individual PNRs, but part is under a group reservation. The initial boarding pass for the individual leg did not have Pre-Check indicated, but when checking in to print luggage tags, it was entered into the kiosk during the transaction and the revised boarding pass did have Pre-Check indicated.
First-world problem, for sure, but why wasn't the KTN incorporated when the PNR was attached to this person's UA profile? Just wondering for future reference.

No we did not. To be direct, if they had asked, I probably would have considered it as something not to be given, maybe a little like a social security number, probably because I was assuming that once the PNR was "claimed" by a UA profile with the KTN, all would proceed as when I purchase a ticket directly (Pre-Check would be indicated).

edit: To hopefully make a clearer answer, I don't think United ever "claims" a profile. It has a profile by the passenger providing a Mileage Plus number (often through being logged into their Mileage Plus account).
