Not invited to party
I'm a us citizen, and silver on us and ua and fly primarially out of dca but have not received an invitation from either to participate in pre check. Is it an issue of my status level or am I being classified as not "trusted" for some reason. Can I ask to be invited? Thanks.

I have the Nexus card
But I do not have the number listed in my USAirways profile. I looked at the card and didn't see any numbers on the front but there are some on the back. None of them are listed as Known traveller number, anyone know what numbers to enter.
BTW, I am preapproved due to status but I would like to enter the number if possible.

Have personal knowledge of:
Gold on US; Y
Plat on UA; Y
Gold on DL; Y
Second tier in a participating FF program may be the cut-off.
And BTW, US citizenship is not relevant if you're qualifying by status.

So I'm not sure I understand - I thought you got directed to the PreCheck line by the person who checks your ID - yet they are not scanning the boarding passes. How would I know if I could go to the precheck lane?

Seems crazy because all I had to do to get past the line dragon was say I wanted precheck, seems like a good way for even someone who isn't eligible to jump the massive queue.

I didn't understand what difference it makes since at that point I have already finished waiting in line and was already at the x-ray scanner.

The way it worked in Seattle is you'd go to the precheck line, if you weren't eligible they'd direct you to the body scanner, if you were eligible they would direct you to the wtmd.

Each booking has its own Secure Flight profile. If you place the GE number in that profile, it will be forwarded to the TSA, regardless of the associated FF account. Adding the GE number to your FF profile simply allows the website to automatically fill in the number when you make a new booking.

If you get a global entry card after you book your flight and add your passid in your profile, are you still eligible for pre check?

I used precheck lane at DCA this morning. Nice short line. But I was surprised there was no obvious verification. If TSA had rejected me would I have been shunted to the NoS? As it was I went through the pre check WTMD.
