The Global Entry renewal fee is $120 in 2026, up from $100 since October 2024. It's the same whether you renew on time or reapply after expiration. Several travel credit cards reimburse it as a statement credit, making the on-time renewal effectively free if you have one.
Done in seconds. No sign-up required.
Most major travel cards include this benefit once every 4 to 5 years.

The fee is $120 either way — renewing on time or reapplying after expiration. The question is whether you're paying it once for a routine 10-minute task, or paying it again on top of weeks of customs lines.
Reapplying after expiration means treating you as a new applicant. The same fee buys you the same 5 years, but you also lose months of expedited travel during processing, you almost certainly need a new in-person interview at an enrollment center, and your TSA PreCheck doesn't work in the meantime — meaning more standard security lines on every domestic flight.
The dollar amount on the receipt is identical. The actual cost is the time and friction stacked on top. See what happens if your Global Entry expires for the full breakdown.
The reminder is the difference between paying $120 for a fast renewal and paying $120 to start over. Set it for ~13 months before your expiration date, get a few emails as the date approaches, and submit while the renewal button still works.
See the main Global Entry renewal page for the reminder form, or the renewal process guide for what to have ready when you submit.

$120 for a 5-year renewal. CBP raised the fee from $100 to $120 in October 2024, so anyone renewing in 2026 pays the new rate. The renewal fee and the new-application fee are the same — there's no member discount.
No. CBP's policy is that all application and renewal fees are non-refundable, even if the application is denied. The fee covers processing — pay it whether or not you end up approved.
Several major travel cards offer a $100 to $120 statement credit for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck once every 4 to 5 years. The most common ones in 2026 are the Chase Sapphire Reserve, American Express Platinum, Capital One Venture X, Citi / AAdvantage Executive, United Club Infinite, and the IHG One Rewards Premier. The benefit applies to renewal fees, not just first-time applications.
Pay the $120 directly on the TTP portal using your eligible credit card. The reimbursement comes as a statement credit, usually within 1 to 2 billing cycles. You don't submit a receipt or fill out a form — the card issuer recognizes the CBP merchant code automatically. Keep an eye on your next statement to confirm the credit posts.
CBP raised the application fee from $100 to $120 effective October 1, 2024 to cover increased processing costs. The change applies to new applicants and renewals alike. Anyone whose membership was approved before October 2024 paid $100; renewing in 2026 means paying the new $120 rate.
TSA PreCheck is cheaper at $85 for 5 years versus Global Entry's $120, but Global Entry includes TSA PreCheck eligibility through your KTN. If you ever fly internationally, the extra $35 over 5 years is generally worth it — Global Entry covers expedited US re-entry, which TSA PreCheck doesn't.
A reminder set inside the renewal eligibility window means your $120 covers a routine renewal — not a reapplication after the deadline slipped past.
