You don't have to pay to bypass the lines. The free "Mobile Passport" app allows you to go into a line is almost as quick as Global Entry.

- geofft 8y agoGlobal Entry gets you two things: a faster line when you re-enter the US, and membership in TSA Pre-Check. For me, Pre-Check is far more useful, because most of my travel is domestic (and it also helps you on the outbound portion of international travel).
- avarun 8y agoPrecheck alone is $15 cheaper.
- imgabe 8y agoOr to put it another way, Global Entry is only $15 if you're already buying PreCheck. Global Entry paid for itself the first time I used it when I made a connection after going through customs that I definitely would have missed if I had to wait in the regular line.
- zeveb 8y agoI would never, ever install a mobile app from the State on my primary phone account. That just seems like asking for trouble.
- dsr_ 8y agoNo need for it to go on your primary phone account. Install it on the cheap phone you take on trips.
- gumby 8y agoOnly available for US citizens, not GC holders.
