Capital One Venture now offering $100 credit every 4 years for Global Entry

[spacemule]

Begins today. I just applied and got an instant email confirming the credit within 2 billing cycles. Appears they are trying to make the card more competitive. Sure, there are plenty of other cards that offer this credit, but seems Capital one is increasing perks while others are going in the opposite direction. I'm happy with it. ;-)

I'm guessing the odds are in their favor. I've got a feeling that most users are not applying for Global Entry, or have no use for it.

 

Thanks for sharing.

I'm just waiting for something official, and I'll be going for it.

It's official, no need to wait.

I got an email from capital one announcing it. In the FAQs, it does say that this is only for the Venture, not the Venture One.

I have multiple Venture cards. Can I use one for GE and another for TSA? Only recieved one e-mail and not one for each card.

Based upon my research, global entry includes TSA, but TSA does not include global entry. Just do global entry so you don't need to apply for both.

True. I think I've been on Global Entry for four years. Next year I'll need to renew.

Thx, if thats the case since its credited back GE should be the choice for all.

Global Entry provides the TSA Pre✓ benefit plus expedited US customs screening for international air travelers when entering the United States. TSA Pre✓ costs $85 and Global Entry costs $100 for a five year membership.

Lots of people don't travel internationally, so the hassles of GE aren't worth it.

 

PreCheck is open to permanent residents.

 

GE is also highly restrictive. Got a reckless driving charge 20 years ago? Too bad for you. Precheck just says you can't be a murderer.

A friend of mine had his Global Entry application denied last year over a DUI.

 

Don't assume that just because you live in a moderately-large city that there's a convenient location to go for the required interview. If you don't use Global Entry enough you may end up spending more time getting to/from the interview than you will save in waiting time when you return to the US.

 

If this applies to you, you're probably better served getting the free Mobile Passport app and loading it with your trip/passport info before your trip.
