Sentri Pass thread - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

NOT the same by my reading of it.

Global Entry is only good for those traveling by air.

Cut and Paste from the Website (emphasis Mine):

What is the Global Entry Program?

"The Global Entry program is the US government’s fast track border crossing program for people traveling by air. The Global Entry pass expedites travel for predetermined low risk citizens entering the United States from international airports. Global Entry membership is valid for 5 years. If you only fly between the US and Canada, you should download the NEXUS card application. The Global Entry card is perfect for frequent travelers and regular fliers who are flying into the USA on a regular basis; however there is no restriction on the amount of foreign trips taken.

Now, if someone here with Global Entry can verify that they successfully used it in a Sentri lane in Calexico, Otay or San Ysidro without getting sent into secondary I'd like to hear about it!

Would a global entry program user's vehicle registered in the SENTRI program be convincing enough?

Logged in to my GOES account and it indicates that I have SENTRI even though I only applied for Global Entry. Any SENTRI applicants have Global Entry?

Hmmm. I may just have to register the wife in Global Entry instead of Sentri if that means she can accompany me in the vehicle through the Sentri lane...
