Great job explaining these programs, I’ve was a lot of videos about this subject and yours is very concise and easy to understand. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@KitatheExplorer]

I’m glad to read this! Glad it was helpful!

[@LivingfortheCity]

I just scheduled my interview for precheck - this is perfect timing! I’m glad to hear that I won’t have to endure the same craziness as common folk. Only thing is I thought all airlines accepted it…I thought this was a security thing not an airline thing.

[@KitatheExplorer]

Yeah most should accept precheck now it’s possible some international airlines may not have it. But yea the airline has to sign up for it. You will know if they aren’t apart if you go to your airline profile or when you buy the ticket there isn’t a field to put your tsa precheck number.

[@ktthepublicist7810]

I learned about all this when I worked in the airport. I never understood what it was but I’m an advocate for it. I need to sign up since I’m about to start traveling more consistently.

[@KitatheExplorer]

That's cool you worked at the airport, you were able to see more behind the scenes. And yes, if you plan to travel more you may want to consider one of these programs to assist you in security screening.

Yep same in Atlanta. I just cannot stand in a line for security that long.

[@klt3065]

I literally just did the pre check yesterday, Thursday and got my number today, Friday. Did it at Staples and it took about 13 minutes. Took fingerprints, scanned my birth certificate, verified information I put in application online, paid and it was over.🥰

This was insanely helpful & well timer ‘cause I’m going with my family to Japan in June & we were discussing possibly getting one of these! I actually didn’t know there were various options, so it was cool learning about all of them. Also super helpful that you talked about the quick turnaround with your application with global entry as I thought it would take months as well as the prices!

OMG I'm so jealous you are going to Japan! That country is definitely on my list! And glad this video was right on time for you. And yes, the application timing for Global Entry is quite fast. The problem could be when looking for an interview appointment as a first time applicant. If you can't find an appointment, use Appointment Scanner. I used this with my niece last year to get her Global Entry. I found one within 10 minutes of signing up!

[@KitatheExplorer]

Yes, definitely look into it! Thanks for watching!

[@AdrianneGatson]

Huh this is very informational video! I have been wondering how the TSA works. I always see it every time we fly. With how you explained everything I agree having the Global Entry. Not only does it come with TSA pre check, it’s also only a few $ more to get it, and if you travel internationally, it helps with customs. We don’t travel internationally that much, maybe once a year, but this makes me want to apply for it. I had no clue that there is also another one called CLEAR. Do you need to have it even if you already have Global Entry?

[@KitatheExplorer]

Yes, Clear is great when you use it with TSA Precheck (which is included with Global Entry). Clear uses biometrics to check you through security. You don't have to pull out any ID, just show your boarding pass and you get expedited past the TSA line. This is great for extremely busy airports (like ATL in my case). Also, some sporting arenas use Clear for expedited screening as well.

[@likethedrum]

I’m with Cherise! I thought it was a security thing not an airline thing. But I’ve been looking into getting global entry, but I don’t know if I travel enough enough to warrant it. I may do it when I upgrade my card , because they offer reimbursement for it

[@KitatheExplorer]

Yeah the airline has to accept the TSA precheck program as well in order for it to be used. I learned that the hard way once which was a loooooong time ago. But hopefully most airlines are hip now.

Great information. I may look into Global Entry. Thanks for sharing!

[@KitatheExplorer]

You should! It’s well worth it for international travelers. Thanks for watching!

[@GabrielleIshell]

Its good to know that global entry includes TSA pre check. I usually only do an international trip once a year, do you think global entry would be worth it for me? I currently have CLEAR

[@GabrielleIshell]

Wait! I didn't realize CLEAR was so expensive! lol

[@KitatheExplorer]

I would say Global Entry would be worth it, if you still travel a few times a year so you can utilize the TSA precheck benefit. Global Entry isn't much more than TSA Precheck and both last for 5 years. Plus, if you have a credit card to cover it, why not! And Clear is costly with an annual fee and it appears to be more since I signed up for it years ago. But Clear + TSA Precheck especially at ATL airport is a must for me!

[@jnfr2424]

For the fingerprint issue with Clear - use lotion first That was the best advice I got when I signed up for clear. Funny my eye scan doesn’t work because at the time I had lash extensions (which weren’t extreme) and it just wasn’t happening. So it’s thumbs for me each and everytime. And combining it with TSA Pre Check - GOLDEN

[@KitatheExplorer]

Yassss!!! Thank you for this tip on the lotion. Ooo I didn’t even think about that with lashes and the eye scan. And agreed, TSA + Clear is definitely GOLDEN!

[@DevineEATS]

[@stacymcintyre1796]

If you plan on traveling in the next few months, it would be worth it to get TSA PreCheck. We were at the Denver airport at 5am and the regular security line was so packed that it looked like a really large crowd--I even took a picture from the escalator we were going down. I've heard from others similar things. Folks are itching to get out, so I think this will be the norm for many months.

For some none US citizens, Global Entry is the only way to get TSA Precheck. For me, being a Dutch citizen, getting Global Entry was the only way to also get TSA Precheck. I'm now conditionally approved, so I'll just have to do the enrollment on arrival interview when I get to Orlando on November 9th 🙂

[@KitatheExplorer]

Yes Legal Permanent US Residents and the following non US Citizens may apply: Global Entry is also available to citizens of the Netherlands who are enrolled in FLUX and Korean Smart Entry Service members. Citizens of Germany, Panama, and Mexico may also apply for Global Entry. Canadian NEXUS members have Global Entry benefits, but are not eligible to join. Just wanted to clarify so other nationals won’t get upset if trying to apply. Unfortunately, it isn’t that wide open. At least not at this time. But glad you were able to apply and to get an appointment!

[@ganymedes62]

@@KitatheExplorer You're correct, Global Entry is only available to some 14 other nationalities. As to 'enrollment on arrival', you don't need to make an appointment for that, though the number of airports where it's available is limited. There's a list on the CBP website with all the airports that support 'enrollment on arrival', including a few outside the US. There are also different requirements for different countries. Being Dutch, I had to have a DigID and give explicit permission to local law enforcement to do the background check. Make sure that you can actually qualify as the $100 application fee is non-refundable!

Great Vid! Thanks for sharing. I did have a question about just a General Member for Delta pretty much us regular people with out status. I see on the website it's 119/Year which saves about 60 bucks rather then just signing up directly with clear at the 179/Year rate. I'm just wondering if I am missing something with this? Everyone should have a general delta skymiles number.

[@KitatheExplorer]

Yeah it’s free and easy to sign up. I would recommend signing up for any potential travel program that you may touch. But in this case, being a general SkyMiles member gets you a Clear discount (at least for now)! And if you become a medallion member, you get more off!

You mentioned a possible credit when applying? Is this with a travel credit card or any credit card? How does this work?

[@KitatheExplorer]

You can use any credit card to apply for Global Entry or TSA Precheck BUT ONLY certain credit cards have credits to reimburse your for that travel benefit. And when you use that qualifying card that has the reimbursement, when you use it, the credit card company will refund you. You won't have to do anything. But to find out if you have a credit card that reimburses for this benefit, I would suggest contacting your credit card holder to ask. Also, here is a list of some credit cards that has this benefit: www.cnbc.com/select/best-credit-cards-for-global-entry-and-tsa-precheck-credits/. And I know my Delta AMEX Reserve card reimburses for this as well.

Hello, I haven’t flown directly out of ATL international concourse in a while (it’s easier to get to domestic or connected in NY to leave). But if I recall there is a precheck line but it is not always open. But the international terminal isn’t really as busy.
