What is Global Entry?
Global Entry is a government program designed to streamline the customs process for approved travelers. Participants can bypass traditional long lines at customs and instead use automated kiosks, significantly speeding up their entry into the United States. This service is particularly beneficial for frequent international travelers seeking a quicker and more efficient airport experience.
Ways to Potentially Offset the Cost
While there is a $120 application fee for Global Entry, many premium credit cards offer a statement credit or reimbursement for the application fee. This means that if you pay for the Global Entry application with an eligible credit card, you may be reimbursed for the full $120 fee, effectively allowing you to obtain the pass at no out-of-pocket cost. It is advisable to check with your credit card issuer to determine if this benefit is available with your specific card.
