Free alert: we check every hour and email you.
$19 watch: we check every 4 minutes, email or text, full refund if we send no alert.
Either way, you book it yourself on CBP's site.
No. EarlierNow is an independent service, not CBP or any other government body. We read CBP's public scheduler and tell you when a slot opens. You can check and book free on CBP's site, ttp.cbp.dhs.gov.
The free alert is email only, for one center, checked every hour, and runs 30 days after you confirm (a pop-up event: up to 30 days or until it ends). Every center page has one. The $19 watch checks every 4 minutes, can text you if you opt in, and refunds itself if no alert is sent.
No. We never log in or book for anyone, and we never ask for your Trusted Traveler Programs login. The alert gives the center, date and time, and you book it yourself on CBP's site.
If we send no alert before your $19 watch ends, you get a full refund automatically. You don't need to ask. A watch for one center runs 30 days. The free alert costs nothing, so there is nothing to refund.
Yes. An alert counts, even if the slot is gone before you book it, so the watch is not refunded. Slots are often taken within minutes. Your watch keeps running until it ends, and we alert you about new slots at most once an hour.
Yes. You can do your Global Entry interview at any Global Entry enrollment center, not only the one nearest you. Each center page lists the nearest centers with openings, and the wait-times page compares every center.
Use the link in your confirmation email. Cancel before your first alert for a full refund; after that there's no refund.
From CBP's public scheduler, which we read for every center once an hour. Times are in the center's own time zone. How we measure waits.
Only buy a watch if your center's next opening is more than 2 weeks away or you want a better date than the one you hold. Otherwise, book now on CBP's site. You don't need a watch.
