SENTRI Renewal
SENTRI cards for wife and I both expire in January, 2018
Went on line to our GOES accounts and opted to apply for Global Entry instead of SENTRI as it is more versatile for traveling (and a little cheaper -
$100 each for GE $125 for SENTRI).
Applied on September 13 and settled down for a 90+ day wait.
Wife was approved on September 15, card received on September 22. I received my electronic notification of approval today (September 25).
Gotta love CBP!!!

Geoff............you can apply for renewal up to a year before your current card expires and they just add the remaining time to your new card. Good
luck, hope yours goes just as smooth......Added benefit. If they require an interview for your Global Entry, you can go to the GE office at the San
Diego airport

I just renewed my Sentri after going through the ombudsman process. Do I need to wait to within a year of expiration to apply for Global? If I apply
for Global with current Sentri would they approve without cancelling Sentri? I was ass backwards and thought Sentri was the better choice for travel
of air and land. My assumption was based on the price for Sentri being higher.

Under Global Entry, do you still register you vehicle.
Attached shows comparison of programs.....somehow SENTRI seems more inclusive than Global Entry (SENTRI includes benefits of Global Entry) but does
not indicate what is extra.....

Global is the all around travel card
You can apply for renewal within a year of your expiration date
At our last renewal 5 years ago they (CBP at the interview) asked if we wanted Global Entry, we said yes and he placed a sticker on the back of our
passport books. Never sure what that was all about and didn't ask
You might check with the Global Entry office at the San Diego airport
Terminal 2 East
3707 N. Harbor Drive
San Diego, CA 92101 (619) 690-7600
8:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m., Monday - Friday

Both vehicles were already registered through SENTRI so no further action was needed.
If your Trusted Traveler documents (Global Entry, SENTRI or NEXUS) have expired you need to re-register ($42 each) vehicle

If you have SENTRI you should already have Global Entry and TSA Pre.

I think the question is:
Can you still register a car if you have a Global Entry?
I think the only way is to have a Sentri.
Let me know if I'm wrong

This website explains the differences:
https://www.easysentri.com/global-entry-vs-sentri-locations-...
The answer, as far as I can tell, is that Global Entry is limited to U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents and citizens of 9 other countries (not
including Mexico). Sentri is available to anyone. Sentri includes Global Entry benefits, so the Sentri card is good for TSA Pre expedited screening
and expedited CBP processing for airport arrivals, as well as the Sentri lane when land crossing into the U.S. That said, from the perspective of
U.S. citizens, Global Entry looks preferable -- slightly cheaper, shorter wait for approval. If you have Global Entry instead of Sentri, you still
have to register your vehicle with CBP in order to use the Sentri lanes. https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-...

IMHO:
Your car is associated with Sentri only, can't register car without Sentri.
If car flies, GOES might work

Yes, you can and must register a car to use the Sentri lanes if you have Global Entry (in other words, you can't drive an unregistered vehicle through
the Sentri lanes, period -- probably a good way to get a pass pulled). See the FAQ link above and go to the question about registering your car for
Global Entry. Whether a car already registered with Sentri must be re-registered if you do Global Entry instead of Sentri renewal is a different
question and makes my brain hurt.

Actually, SENTRI is not valid for entry into the US from Canada. NEXUS is the US/Canada program. Global Entry allows you to use NEXUS lanes

Trusted Traveler Vehicle Registration
If you have SENTRI and want to switch to Global Entry before your SENTRI expires, your vehicle is already registered in the Trusted Traveler system,
no further action is necessary
If you apply for Global Entry and you are not already in the Trusted Traveler system, yes, you have to register your vehicles ($42 each) when you are
filling out the Global Entry application

That would sure negate any dollar savings if its your first time around the block.

I have to renew SENTRI this winter. How do you go about enlisting in GOES instead of SENTRI? Is the choice presented to you when you go into online
SENTRI account?

Actually, yes it is a savings for your first time.
SENTRI is $125 per person plus $42 for each vehicle
Goes is $100 per person plus $42 for each vehicle

GOES is your on line CBP account
When you open your account on the first page you are given a choice to renew SENTRI or apply for Global Entry
Your GOES account has all of the information you entered for your SENTRI. If nothing has changed, no worries, just scroll through the pages. If you
have any changes, enter them and complete the process

Interesting you say this as I used my Sentri to enter Canada both ways last fall. Never a word from the Officer. They say Sentri is the same as Global
and I have travelled as recently as two weeks ago internationally without problems
