Just in case you weren't aware: Check your credit card as it may reimburse you for TSA pre check. My card, a Venture Capital does. Just fill out the TSA pre check form, pay with credit card, you will be reimbursed for up to $100.00 within 2 billing cycles.
NOTE: Starting June 12th Global Entry will be reimbursed.

LeeLee--I think it's only AE Platinum card or similar?? I don't think my lowly AE Gold card gets me anything..

Same here - we never applied for TSA Pre-Check since we only fly usually once or twice a year these days. But somehow, we always seem to end up with it. I thought it might have had something to do with First or Business Class tickets on the customary airline we generally fly but then we started flying on JB a lot and always end up with it there, too. I can’t tell you how disappointed I was when it was suggested to me that it might have something to do with age. Don’t know one way or the other for sure, but whatever the reason, I enjoy the reality.
Respectfully,

I don't think so. Got a couple of years left!
My take on it is it's because we've been making the exact same trips for years!

I think that's a lot more likely, the same trips, than purely age. We often get TSA pre-check when we go to SXM on AA from Miami.. My mom is over 90 and she flies only occasionally, and she has never gotten TSA pre check. ...now I have to tell you though that she reported to me one time the TSA guy let her keep her bottle of water because she said she needed it for her pills!!! ![duh duh](/images/graemlins/default/duh.gif) Could have knocked me over with a feather!!!

My take on it is it's because we've been making the exact same trips for years! We have been doing the exact same trips to SXM for years and always seem to get TSA approval regardless of which of the two carriers we typically use. Last March we went to Antigua instead and still got TSA approval so perhaps it’s a combination of both along with your airline affiliation? This past November we used the same typical carrier but a totally different route to SXM and back and still got it, so who knows?!

Yes, we have often had TSA pre-check printed on our tickets in SXM, but it means nothing. There IS no TSA pre-check in SXM. TSA does not exist in SXM.

We left SXM on Sat, Jan 5, and the lines were horrendous. They were not recognizing the TSA Precheck plainly printed on our tickets. We stood in the long security line along with everyone else. Has anyone else had a similar experience? That TSA PRE only helps you when you arrive in the States for you connecting flight and have to go through security.

Except at ATL where there is no TSA PreCheck for connecting flights :-(

The day may come when the free ride to PreCheck given selectively by the airlines comes to an end. In the last (115th) Congress HR6265, the PreCheck is PreCheck Act, which would generally restrict access to PreCheck to those who had actually signed up for it, passed the House. Last seen In Committee in the Senate. I'm embarrassed to admit that given that there is now a new Congress (116th), and that the bill never passed the Senate, I don't know enough about the legislative process to know if the bill is still alive or if it dead. I thought that I paid attention in my High School Civics class, but I've obviously forgotten a bunch. Anyone care to opine on the status of HR6265 with a new Congress? https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/6265

Correct. They said that your old user ID would not work and had to request a new one. But then my wifes old one allowed her to log in and it was the same age as mine. Hers was also good for a year longer than mine even though we took them out at the same time because of her birthday was 6 weeks prior to when it started. So hers is good for almost 6 years for the 100.00 Strange
