When you are booking your ticket you have to be sure that your GE # is entered or you will not necessarily get PC. If you look at the website for GE it states that if you are a US Citizen or Permanent Resident you are eligible for PC. I had PC as an elite flyer with DL and then applied for GE as I started more international travel. My wife signed up for GE as well only for the PC status it was a benefit of GE. She would not have signed up if it were not and it was very clear that one came with the other. That was a few years ago so perhaps rules have changed.

I did not get TSA pre check one time so I walked through the line (pre-check) and showed my GE card and they sent me right through.

Glad it worked for you. My wife has GE and did not get PRE on her boarding pass in portland. She showed her card to the tsa and the said sorry the can't over ride it. Looks like it depends on the airport and who is checking.
