TSA PRECHECK
- TSA PreCheck is an expedited airport security program offered by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). It’s currently available at 200+ airports and 80+ airlines.
- How much is TSA PreCheck? 1st Time = $85 | Renewal = $70
- How long does TSA PreCheck last? Valid for 5 years.
- TSA PreCheck Benefits: Helps you get through U.S. airport security faster & more conveniently (Nassau, Bahamas is now included). In short, it speeds up the physical screening process. You do not need to remove: shoes, laptop, belt, jacket, 3-1-1 liquids
- How to Use TSA PreCheck: See video.
CLEAR
- CLEAR is an expedited security ID program offered by Secure Identity, LLC. It also has a bunch of other uses, including: entry to stadiums, health ID, and more. It’s currently available at 40+ cities.
- How much is CLEAR? $189 for 1 year (less with United Airlines or Delta Airlines account). You can add kids under 18 for $0 and add adults 18+ = $60 ea.
- CLEAR Benefits: Helps you get through U.S. (airport) security faster & more conveniently. In short, it speeds up the document / ID verification process by using biometrics and your government-issued ID on file. You then proceed to the front of the standard security line or TSA PreCheck line.
- How to Use CLEAR at Airport: See video.
GLOBAL ENTRY
- Global Entry is an expedited U.S. Customs clearance program offered by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency. Kiosks currently located at 58 U.S. airports and 17 international airports.
- How much is Global Entry? $100 for 5 years, including renewals.
- Global Entry includes TSA PreCheck.
- Global Entry Benefits: Helps you get through U.S. customs faster & more conveniently when entering the U.S. after a trip abroad. You can avoid the long processing lines and physical paperwork.
- How to Use Global Entry at Airport: See video.
BEST OPTION?
- If you’re a frequent traveler who also flies internationally, then consider getting Global Entry AND CLEAR. Global Entry comes with TSA PreCheck, and TSA PreCheck can be combined with CLEAR. That makes for a very powerful setup to get through airport security VERY QUICKLY :D

Global Entry wait times for appointments should be advised prior to people signing up for it because it major cities, you are not getting an appointment for 8 - 12 months. The closer appointments are at smaller airports or port of entry where you must travel. Fortunately, you can do your interview on arrival from an international destination in select cities. That too also took over 1 1/2 in line for that interview because there was one 2 CBP officers doing interviews.

Great video man. I’ve had TSA pre-for a long time now, but ended up getting global entry a couple months back. I was on a long waiting list for my in person appointment, but ended up getting it when I was returning from a production in Bermuda, and was able to do the beyond easy/fast interview at the customs counter when I was returning and got the card in the mail a couple weeks later. I’m about to sign us up for Clear as well (using my AMEX platinum benefit) since our primary airports are JFK and LaGuardia, which both can have a long TSA pre-check lines. As well as, we’re on a long waiting list for my wife to get global entry and TSA pre-check so having Clear will help her out big time while she waits.

Basically you only need Global Entry (since it comes with TSA pre check) & clear is what I’m getting? Also, if you create a United account and bring the cost down to $119 for Clear and buy Global Entry for $100 would AMEX Plat still cover $189 & you only come out of pocket the other $30?

Hey YooReeek - what do you mean by coming out of pocket for the other $30? The Amex Platinum Card offers up to a $189 credit for CLEAR; that would cover the cost of a single membership entirely. If you pay the full $189 or the lower $119 via United, you'll get a statement credit for either amount. The Amex Platinum Card also covers the $100 application cost for Global Entry. There should be a $0 out of pocket cost 👍

Hello Mark, question . How long does a Conditional Approval for Global Entry take? Not sure if that has to be approved first before I make an appointment for in person interview.. in my case it’s been 2 weeks since I applied ,and it says “pending Review” . any advice? It’s my 1st time applying for Global E.

Hi Christian - I don't keep track of data points on that. It could be anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months. If it's been longer than about a month, I'd contact the agency.

@@aaronlee4913 Thanks for the update ! This is my 1st time applying so I was thinking they could approve me faster but I guess I have to wait.
Why are honorably discharged veterans required to pay, some of us served 21 years and had Secret Clearances! Just another way for the government, to increase revenue! Besides, when was the last time they caught a Bad Guy at the airport! Even TSA undercover personnel were able to smuggle items through TSA security!

So why do they even offer TSA Precheck by itself if the Global Entry includes TSA Precheck for a $15 more. So weird.

TSA PreCheck is a much simpler application / approval process. So, for those who don't have any international travel plans, it can be easier to get.
Can you get TSA without a passport?

Yes 👍
Is anyone concerned about big brother having your scanned iris and fingerprints in its digital database? If you read the fine print, they can use them for purposes other than for.pre check and GE.

It's worth considering ✌️
if you already have a TSA precheck, do you still need to pay $100 for Global Entry?

Yes 👍 TSA PreCheck only gives you TSA PreCheck. Global Entry gives you both.
Do we have to pay the renewal fee every year or every 5 years?

Every 5 years for TSA Pre / Global Entry. Every year for CLEAR.

@@MarkReese Thanks for replying. I also have another question. I am an authorized user of ventureX credit card. Primary user don't want to use TSA precheck/ global entry fee reimbursement benefit. Can I use that benefit to get statement credit against TSA precheck/global entry fee? Also, I am an Indian citizen and I am eligible for global entry. But I am not eligible for TSA-precheck, if I applied directly. Will I get TSA precheck through global entry?

@@yamneshagrawal1977 - As long as you can pay the fee up front during the application process, then you should be able to use the credit. If you pay in person for the interview, then they may check the name on the card vs. the name on the application & deny the payment method if they don't match. TSA PreCheck comes with Global Entry, but I'm not sure about eligibility based on your situation.

I have the tsa pre check but may need the global entry pre check. How would you upgrade to global entry when you already have the normal tsa pre check?

There is not a way to upgrade. You'll have to apply for Global Entry via new application.
