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.

    Antalya, Turkey - September 10, 2016: Security and passport control at Antalya International Airport, Turkey.

    For those of you that hate airport security lines, there is a great solution coming to your local community.  You will now be able to get your TSA PreCheck interview done at Staples!  For those that don’t live near an airport, this is a great solution.

    A TSA PreCheck membership normally costs $85, but with the right credit card you can get the fee easily reimbursed.

    Avoid These Long Lines With TSA PreCheck!

    TSA PreCheck at Your Local Staples

    Right now, 30+ Staples across the country are taking appointments for TSA PreCheck interviews, with many more on the way!  Check to see if your local Staples is participating here!

    One of the largest pain points of TSA PreCheck is how hard it can be to complete your interview.  Whether it be a distant interview location, or limited appointment times, many people have griped about the difficulty of getting it completed.  My home airport is Salt Lake City, and I just saw the wait time is 6 months!

    What Is TSA PreCheck?  And This Global Entry Thing?

    These programs are huge time savers! They are for travelers who have passed federal background checks.  TSA PreCheck is recognized in the United States and will get you expedited security at certain airports.

    A 5-year membership costs $85 for TSA PreCheck or $100 for Global Entry.  And Global Entry includes all the same features as TSA PreCheck.  So it makes sense to pay the extra $15, especially since you can get the fee reimbursed with any of these credit cards!

    Trusted traveler programs, like these, are great!  Outside of saving time (which is my personal favorite perk), they also help you avoid hassle.  You won’t need to remove your shoes, belt, or jacket!  And your laptop can stay in your bag.  Plus, you can skip the controversial body scanners!

    If time is your main concern, these programs are a no-brainer.  Having TSA PreCheck could be the difference between making and missing your next flight!

    I encourage all travelers to be a part of TSA PreCheck or Global Entry!  The general rule of thumb is if you travel more than 4 times per year, it is worth it.
