We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Daraius, since I already have Global Entry, can I use the Global Entry credit for this card to apply for someone else?

    Certain credit cards, such as the Citi Prestige that Angie’s interested in, will give you a statement credit to cover the cost of Global Entry.

    Can You Use Your Statement Credit on Global Entry for Someone Else?

    Yes, Angie can use her card to purchase Global Entry for friend or family member, for free!  Find out how!

    What’s Global Entry?

    Link:   Global Entry

    Link:   Apply for Global Entry

    Link:   Global Entry Locations

    With Global Entry, you can avoid the long lines at US Customs and Immigration when you return to the US from overseas.  Plus, when you have Global Entry, you’ll also be approved for TSA PreCheck on most flights.

    Save Yourself Time at the Airport with Global Entry

    Global Entry charges a $100 application fee and your membership is good for 5 years.

    At some Global Entry locations you can’t get an appointment for months.  If you need to get in soon, check out my post on how to get an appointment sooner.

    You can get Global Entry for free (via up to a $100 statement credit) with credit cards such as:

    Earning the Statement Credit on Global Entry for Someone Else

    Angie already has Global Entry.  So can she can still get the statement credit when she pays the Global Entry application fee for a friend or family member.

    That’s because the credit card company only sees a charge from Global Entry on Angie’s statement and issues the credit.  They aren’t able to tell whether the charge was for Angie’s application or someone else.

    Note:  You can only get the $100 Global Entry statement credit once every 5 years.

    Bottom Line

    Global Entry will save you time at the airport, by avoiding the long lines at security and US Customs.

    And certain cards like the AMEX Platinum and Citi Prestige, offer a $100 statement credit to cover the cost of your Global Entry application fee.

    You can use this perk to get Global Entry for yourself or someone else!
