 TITLE: The Best Travel Credit Cards for Global Entry CONTENT: What Is Global Entry?\n---------------------\nIf you're not familiar with it, Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection program for travelers that the U.S. government determines to be low security risks. Folks with Global Entry are able to use automated kiosks at immigration when entering the U.S. The kiosks require travelers to insert their passports, have a photo and fingerprints taken, and then answer a few simple questions about their travels.\nOnce complete, the machine generates a customs form, which allows members to exit the airport via expedited security lines. The entire process can take just a couple minutes depending on lines and the airport. It's a breeze compared with immigration and customs lines that can back up for hours at a time in the nation's busiest airports.\nGlobal Entry membership lasts five years, though you can renew your membership up to a year before your current status expires so that you don't experience any interruption in access.
