WHY I RECOMMEND GLOBAL ENTRY AND NOT TSAPRECHECK

Yes. Why do you always recommend that people get Global Entry and not TSA PreCheck? Well, number one, Global Entry includes TSA PreCheck. So when you get your Global Entry card, on the back of it in the upper left hand corner, you're going to get what's called the Trusted Traveler number. It's a nine-digit number. So when you book a domestic flight or an international flight, just enter that number when you're doing your reservation on the airline's travel portal and you will have TSA PreCheck on your boarding pass. Reason two of four, Global Entry includes SENTRI. So if you're traveling back and forth to Mexico a lot by car or by foot, SENTRI is going to save you a lot of time. Some of these Mexican-American border crossings are some of the busiest border crossings in the world. Reason three of four, Global Entry includes NEXUS when coming back into the U.S. from Canada. And that will also save you a lot of time. Reason four of four, Global Entry includes Global Entry! So when you come home from an international trip, you can bypass customs and breeze right through security. A lot of people get hung up on the cost. Global Entry is $120 for five years, over $76 and some change for five years. TSA PreCheck. It breaks down to about $8 and change per year to have Global Entry instead of TSA PreCheck. And I think it's worth every single penny. Bonus tip: Don't forget to use your credit card for the application fee. A lot of these travel credit cards will cover your Global Entry application fee.
