Is pre-holiday a good time or was I just lucky? GE

Or is this just normal timing? On Monday I went into the site and applied to have my Global Entry renewed. I received the renewal approval within 36 hours. Was it the timing or are they just getting more efficient? Just curious.

Neither. Call it good luck.

Oh, I wasn't thinking they were going to send a new card to me. Thanks.

Wray, Can't remember for sure, but the new cards might have a new number -- or maybe not. If it does have a new number, you might have to update info in passport site. Just having a moment and don't recall.

My renewal was really fast- I believe I had a new card within two weeks. This was six weeks ago, Thanks for sharing.

TC, you have it reversed. When you renew your passport, you need to update your GE account with the new passport number.
