For those of you who use GE... A reminder: it and TSA pre only lasts ten years.
A couple days ago I was organizing my things and came across my passport and other vital travel things. That reminded me that I lost my Trusted Traveler Program card. I decided to visit the TTP website to get a replacement.
I tried to login, and found that they have changed their procedures entirely since 2017. So be prepared for that. It will require you to create a new login. Its a simple process...if you have your TPP card or PASSID number. (because I lost mine I had to request they send me my number via the web site...it took about 36 hours for them to respond).
Once logged into the site, I quickly realized that my GE and TSA Pre status was going to expire in a month. Luckily I have very little travel planned so I should be fine. But it would have been a bummer if I let it lapse.
The application process can be done online and is fairly painless. GE costs $100 and TSA Pre is now $85.
I hope this helps. Its one of those things you don't think about ....

Global Entry is worth every cent of the cost. Recently went thru Atlanta on return from SXM. GE line had 3 people, regular immigration line 300 people. With carry on I was off plane and onto next gate in 10 Minutes. Nice.

I stand corrected. Sorry.
I knew that tooo. Had passport on the brain. Curious. Did you have to be interviewed for your GE renewal?

I don't belong to any of those things and I get Precheck every time I travel. Low risk travelers ;-) can be assigned Pre Check. But its never guaranteed. Also be aware that even though you official have TTP or GE you can be randomly selected by the Homeland Security for standard screening...just to keep you on your toes. I once watched a well-suited-self-important guy get pulled. Oh the fireworks!! Mind you this was in Milwaukee in the middle of the day so its not a big deal. He could not let it go. He ended up at the same gate as me and proceeded to call his PA to get on the phone with someone in charge at the airlines, homeland security, et al (he had a very rich target environment) and "get to the bottom of this". The indignities. I prayed that the PA's resume was up to date and there were greener pastures It could have been worse...he could have made to the TSA Pre line. Smirking at the rabble as you go by.... And realize he lost his DL in the airport . That's karma (not that it happened to me...I am wayyy to careful.....never could happen....)

We just obtained GE in Dec. and was told in our interview we would have to come back in 5 years and interview again, but the GE web site says you may or may not have to interview, which is determined by the vetting center.

I don't belong to any of those things and I get Precheck every time I travel. That's because of your age. I'd never admit that! LOL

Interesting. I also remain curious about some airline's policies of in effect selling TSA precheck status, which I always thought was very suspect.

The random getting of pre-check to people who are not participants in any TTP is going to go away. The house has passed and a bill and it is now in the Senate's hands. Story here

Glad it passed in the house. Hope it proceeds and becomes law. Common sense. Under 13 and over 75 should have to be vetted too but it's a start.

Renewed today, the site said to "check back", but did not indicate when. How long should I wait? I have plenty of time, mine is not up until 7/2019, but I do have a credit freeze that I lifted until 12/1, hope that is enough time. Thanks for any info. Ellen

I've had a credit freeze since the Experian hack, I unlock and lock it as need be. Just a small way to protect myself.

I also have a credit freeze for the same reason...and, re: GE, I never had to check back but I guess you could. They emailed me within two weeks and said I was a go. Received the new card a couple weeks after that

Crap, crap, crap, crap!!!! Your thread prompted me to pull out the cards and check. Hubby is ok. But MINE expires the end of this month right in the middle of our damn trip.!!!!! **!)(&+?#$%^* There's no way it'll renew in 4 days and I get a card.

Where are you coming back through? MIami and some other places have that app you can get on your phone, that many people say is as fast as GE.

Congratulations BeachKitten, I am glad it worked out for you. Did they email you with the results, or did you check the site? I am still waiting for mine, but I guess since mine is not up until July 2019, I am at the end of the list.
