About EarlierNow

EarlierNow watches U.S. Customs and Border Protection's public Global Entry interview scheduler. When an earlier interview opens at the center you picked, we email you, and text you if you opt in. You book it yourself on CBP's official site.

We also publish the next open interview at every enrollment center, checked every hour. See the Global Entry wait times and how we measure them.

How we make money

We sell alerts for earlier slots, by email and (if you opt in) by text: $19 for one center for 30 days, or $29 for one state, or up to 25 centers you pick, for 60 days. Full refund if we send no alert, automatically. That pays for the site. The wait-time pages and the free email alert cost nothing.

We may earn a commission from links on our page about credit cards that reimburse the Global Entry fee. Today every link there goes to the card issuer's own page.

What we don't do

We never book an interview, log in to any account, or act for you. We tell you a slot opened; you decide and you book.

We're not affiliated with CBP or the Department of Homeland Security.

Who we are

EarlierNow is run by a small independent company based in New Jersey. Software does most of the routine work: reading the scheduler and sending alerts.
