That’s correct. No need to carry the card.
Yes I did not need mine. Global entry card is basically just another form of ID if you’re flying
Having global entry does, but you don’t need your card to use global entry.
I carry it in my wallet because you never know when a 2nd form of ID might be handy, and it's easy enough to just forget it or know where it is that way. That said, you only need it for global entry countries, so you may want to check if where you're going qualifies, but as others have said, no one has ever asked to see the card
Don’t need the card. You just go to the global entry line coming back into the US and scan your passport on the machine. It’s all linked on your passport
Follow the signs for global entry. There are kiosks that work off your passport or facial recognition.
Just came back used my GE for the 1st time, didn't need ANYTHING. Went in the GE line, lowered my mask, looked at the screen in the kiosk and walked out. It was amazing.
The card also qualifies as a REAL ID. So if you don’t want to go to the DMV later once TSA requires all IDs be REAL ID to travel domestically, just carry your GE card.
WHAT!
This is excellent news. I didn’t want to carry my passport around
You do not need to carry the card. I put mine in a drawer and it has remained there for many years
Only time you need the physical card is crossing by land
Rising Star
And Canadian pre-clearance, they made me show it before going to immigration
Theoretically you don’t need it….
The first time I flew with Global Entry the kiosk wouldn’t scan my face and the agent asked for my card. I didn’t have it and he did eventually let me through, so I’ll carry it from now on.
Its technically not needed, but I always bring it, I have actually been through twice where the GE systems were down and I just needed to show my card and got to get through without standing in the other line. Also just good to have as a backup ID.
