That doesn't surprise me in the least bit.

It is an ID card? I got Global Entry a few years ago and it is associated with my passport, i.e. no card. I'm sure things have changed some but are they really giving out ID's with photos on them for Global Entry?

You have to pay for it.
I think it was an extra $15.

Not a true statement Dude.

Current members of U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Global Entry, SENTRI or NEXUS programs are already eligible to participate in TSA Pre✓™ if they are flying on a participating airline at a participating airport. Those passengers need to place their PASS ID in the ‘Known Traveler Number’ field while booking their reservation. Interested passengers who are not eligible through their airline and are not already a member of a CBP Trusted Traveler program may still be able to opt-in to TSA Pre✓™ by applying for one of the CBP Trusted Traveler programs. To learn more visit: globalentry.gov.

Again, the ID card has nothing to do with pre-check.
If you look on the back of the ID it has to do with Sentri and Ready Lane.
As the OP said, TSA had no clue what the ID was.

Whatever Dude, if you can't read what I pasted and understand how it relates to PreCheck find a sixth grader to do it for you.

Ladies and Gentleman, if I may put in my two cents here, I don't want to worry about what airline I'm flying on and are they part of tsa precheck, or if the airport has heard of said program. My question is why isn't every airport equiped with a laptop to support Known Crewmember? And why is it left to an individual airline to pay for its crewmembers to be a part of it? I mean, the agents are there, the laptop is there, why can't FedEx go through? Because Fred said 'no'? We all need to push very hard to have one level of Known Crewmember for all of us, just like one level of safety, and with ALPA leading the way, its a matter of time before it becomes a reality. That last sentence was meant to be sarcastic.

This is true. You use this ID card to cross the border (by car or foot) between Mexico or Canada into the USA. You use it instead of a passport.
