Every credit, and when it resets
Amounts are per period. The last column is what each credit adds up to in a year if you use it every time.
| Credit | Amount | Resets | A year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Global Entry or TSA PreCheck credit$120 each time. Available again every 4 years | $120 each time | Available again every 4 years | $30 |
| Total a year, if you use every credit | $30 |
What people get wrong
- Nothing rolls over. Whatever is unused when a period ends is gone, so a monthly credit missed in March can't be used in April.
