If you're a Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholder, you're eligible for a $100 credit towards the cost of Global Entry renewal. This credit can be applied once every five years.

Global Entry is a trusted traveler program that allows you to expedite your customs and immigration processing when returning to the US. To qualify, you'll need to meet the program's eligibility requirements.

The credit can be applied by paying for Global Entry with your Chase Sapphire Reserve card and then following the instructions on the Chase website to request the credit.

Renewal Process

You can renew your Global Entry membership online within one year of its expiration date. After logging in to your TTP account, you should see a renewal application option.

To renew, submit your application and pay the required fee. You'll then be notified through your TTP account of any additional steps needed.

What If I Need to Renew

If you need to renew your Global Entry, you can do so within one year of your membership's expiration date.

The renewal process is similar to the enrollment process, but you may not have to interview again.

You'll need to apply for a renewal through your TTP account online, where you'll see a renewal application option after logging in.

After submitting your renewal application and paying the fee, you'll be notified through your TTP account of any required action.

You might need to provide updated documentation, or in some cases, you'll have to attend another interview.

Global Entry Renewal

CBP provides step-by-step instructions detailing how to renew a Global Entry membership. If your Global Entry privileges will expire in one year or less, it's worth renewing prior to October, especially since the renewal process can take one year or more.

The silver lining for families is that kids under 18 who apply or renew their Global Entry will NOT pay a fee if their parent or legal guardian is already a member or is concurrently applying for the same program.

Some credit cards, like the Chase Sapphire Reserve, offer reimbursement for Global Entry renewal fees, up to $100 every four years.

Benefits

Having a credit card with benefits like TSA PreCheck can be a game-changer for travelers. TSA PreCheck allows members to access designated lanes at airport security, mostly in U.S. airports.

You can zip through security lines in no time, without having to remove shoes, belts, or light jackets. Certain devices can even stay in your carry-on luggage, making the process even faster.

Global Entry benefits can also ease the process of arriving in the United States. All travelers who enter the country must pass through U.S. Customs, but Global Entry members can skip the normal screening lines.

Global Entry members can access kiosks, scan their identification, and usually be on their way, without having to complete paperwork.
