We just sent in our passports to be renewed, what do I do about the CBP sticker that the Trusted Traveler/Global Entry people put on the back of our old passport? I don't think our Pre Check status will need updated since my know traveler number will be the same? Or do I have to give new passport expiration dates somewhere?
Has anyone renewed their passports since joining the program?

I think I found the answer, I have to visit a border patrol office at the airport, according to the Points Guy: You need to re-visit an airport Customs and Border Patrol office when you get a new passport. Even though my passport was expiring within a few months, I applied for Global Entry first in order to make sure I received it before departing on my next international trip. After I received my Global Entry card, I then renewed my passport. But I had to return to a CBP office to have them update their system with my new passport to match it to my Global Entry number. Fortunately, an appointment was not required this time and I could just stop by and talk to an officer on duty.

Karen, thank you for the valuable info.
You jogged my memory by mentioning Points Guys!
Anyone give or sell air miles to Points guys? I have 13,292 Delta miles that will expire soon.

When I went back to the Global Entry office with my new passport, they said all I had to do was log on to my account online and update my passport info. It worked.

Jim, how did you get a new CBP sticker on your passport for Global entry?

I didn't get a sticker - you scan the passport in the kiosk and they never look at the sticker. They have modernized a bit.

Global Entry is the best thing I ever got to ease travel aggravation, and Amex Plat paid for it as a perk. At first, it was just for re-entry into the US. Now I flash that card on any outbound flight via the Pre-check line. No need for FC tickets even on domestic. Saves so much time when there's a line.

We updated our new passport info online. And as Jim said, they don't issue the stickers anymore.
