Having access to expedited-security programs like Global Entry<\/a> and TSA PreCheck<\/a> can be extremely valuable if you travel frequently. Even better, although these programs carry fees, there are a number of credit cards<\/a> that reimburse you for them.<\/p>\n Those credits might seem redundant if you’ve already enrolled or have more than one available. Fortunately, you can still put any extra credits you have to use.<\/p>\n When you pay for a Global Entry or TSA PreCheck application using an eligible card like the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card<\/a> or Chase Sapphire Reserve\u00ae<\/a>, all the card issuer sees is a charge from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They won’t be able to tell whose name is on the application, so the statement credit should be issued automatically within a few days (assuming you haven’t already used it). Even if the name on the application was apparent, it might not matter since the terms and conditions don’t limit the fee credit to the cardholder.<\/p>\n If you’ve already used your own credit, you may still be able to help someone else enroll by making them an authorized user on your account. The Platinum Card\u00ae from American Express<\/a><\/span> allows you to add up to three authorized users for $195 apiece per year (see rates and fees<\/a>), and each authorized user gets their own $120 application credit for Global Entry. If you know a few people who want to sign up for expedited security, you can essentially get it for them at a discount, along with other benefits<\/a> like lounge access<\/a> and hotel elite status<\/a>. Not all cards extend the statement credit to authorized users, so make sure yours is eligible before adding cardholders to your account.<\/p>\nHow can I use my Global Entry credit on someone else?<\/h2>\n
