| U.S. Bank Altitude Connect Visa SignatureThe U.S. Bank page confirms a statement credit for the Global Entry or TSA PreCheck application fee and says the fee must be paid with the card, but does not state the amount or how often the credit renews. Those come from a review, not from U.S. Bank.

How the credit works
You apply for Global Entry on the official Trusted Traveler Programs site and pay the $120 application fee with the eligible card. After the charge, the issuer posts a statement credit to your account, in most cases within one to two billing cycles. It is a reimbursement, so the money leaves your account first and comes back later.
Issuers set their own rules. Chase, for example, says the charge must go through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, an eligible partner, or an authorized enrollment provider, and that purchases through travel agencies or application-assistance services are not eligible. Your account usually has to be open and in good standing when the credit posts.
The $120 fee and five-year membership come from CBP's published rule, which raised the fee from $100. We couldn't open cbp.gov, so we checked the published rule instead.
What if you already paid
The credit reimburses a charge made to that card, so a fee you paid with a different card or cash will not be covered by a card you open afterwards. Some issuers also only credit fees charged on or after account opening. Check the issuer's terms before you assume an earlier payment qualifies.
On renewal timing: Global Entry lasts five years and most credits renew every four, so a card you still hold when you renew can usually reimburse the next fee. Wells Fargo does not say how often the credit renews on the page we checked. The issuer decides when each 4-year period starts. Check its terms.
While you wait for your interview, compare wait times by center. If your center's next opening is more than 2 weeks away, a watch emails you within minutes (we check every 4 minutes) when an earlier slot opens, and texts you if you opt in. You book it yourself.

Questions
Which credit cards reimburse the Global Entry fee?
As of Oct 18, 2026, 24 cards on this page state a Global Entry, TSA PreCheck or NEXUS application-fee credit on the issuer's own page, from Chase, American Express, Capital One, Citi, Navy Federal, Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank. One has no annual fee, five cost under $100 a year, and 18 cost $100 or more.
Do I have to pay the Global Entry fee with the card?
Yes. Every issuer on this page reimburses a charge made to that card. The credit posts as a statement credit after the fee is charged, usually within one to two billing cycles, so you pay the fee first and get it back afterwards.
How often can I get the credit?
Nearly every card here allows one credit every four years. A Global Entry membership lasts five years, so a card you still hold at renewal time is usually eligible again. The table shows how often each issuer's credit renews.
Can I get reimbursed if I already paid with a different card?
Not by a card you did not use. The credit is for a fee charged to that card. If you already paid with another card or cash, the credit usually cannot be applied after the fact, so check the issuer's terms before you rely on it.
Does the credit cover TSA PreCheck and NEXUS too?
It depends on the card. Chase cards cover Global Entry, TSA PreCheck and NEXUS. Most American Express cards credit $120 for Global Entry or up to $85 for TSA PreCheck. Capital One, Citi and Navy Federal cover Global Entry or TSA PreCheck. The Covers column shows each card.
