Free advice is worth what you or I pay for it - not for nothing BUT several years ago I went thru the global entry, tsa pre-check etc - cost was $100 for 5 years Carol, or $20 per year or $10 per your bi-annual sxm trip - ya think you could justify $10 TO AVOID your mess in Miami - BTW Miami is what made me say it was the best $100 I spent in a VERY long time. I would easily pay $50 to avoid what you just experienced in Miami and call it a terrific bargin!!!
