Well...as said before, you could buy Global Entry for you if/when you need it for your benefit (commute home/TSA Pre, etc...) and simply bypass Global Entry and go to the slow lane when you want to stick it to the man...which I believe was the point of your post. Win-Win for you.

This.

I agree its BS company doesnt pay for it (or uniforms, or hotels for newbies, etc). But I got GE for me and for my convenience, not the companies. So far its been well worth it. Ymmv.

The "cute" was snarky, apolgies.

I agree with everyone who gets it for themeselves. I don't travel internationally and I try to avoid customs at the end of a trip. For me to get GE it would only be for the turn during the middle of a trip. So I'll be the guy hanging out in the slow lane. Say hello as you go on by!

Same with the Chase Sapphire Reserve.

BTW, how long does the application take to be reviewed? I submitted my application a 2-3 weeks ago and it still say pending review.
