Anyone have an example of the paperwork you had to provide to AMEX to prove AD status?
Thanks for posting this--I was about to call and sign up, but will wait to see if anyone responds, as I'm close to retirement.The rep I dealt with specifically said that it only applies to when you are active duty, and not for the life of the account. Does anybody have experience otherwise?

Not sure about those but I can confirm that (with AA) Pre-Check is at MIA and LGA. A recent example would be my flight out of MIA. Scanned my boarding pass, showed my Global Entry card, DL. (some say it's not all necessary but I did NOT want the regular line)At what airports? TSA only lists six that are participating right now in PreCheck with CAC cards:
Have you had luck in other airports?
- Charlotte Douglas, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta, Honolulu International, Reagan, SEATAC and Dulles.
Late to the game…but HOLY CRAP! I thought my USAA card was sweet…but this seems to beat all comers.Life of the card. Just got one and have been rocking the benefits. Buddy has been an Amex gold cardholder for 8 years and they gave him a free platinum and payed him back for 8 years of membership fees.
Make sure you sign up for airline reimbursement and the Priority Pass. Free booze and food for all your travels!
