Well,

I bought my tickets(cheapoair) 2 months before I got my GE. Not sure what to do. I called cheapoair and they say present it when I'm getting my boarding passes at the airport. But global entry officer said to call the booking site. Conflicting info.

What airline issued the tickets? Use your confirmation number which is usually displayed on the booking document, log into the airline website, and click manage my booking (or similar verbiage). You might have purchased your ticket through cheapair, but you are flying Airline X. So you need to give Airline X your GE number and probably also your passport number. Having all that stuff in your booking makes life a little easier.

As far as I know, if your GE/Precheck number isn't in the airlines system before check-in starts (so more than 24 hours) you won't get Precheck.

I messed this up once because I thought I had my number with Delta and didn't get Precheck on the outbound on a Thursday/Friday but got it submitted in time for my Sunday return.

Furthermore, you may not get Precheck with GE on the first flight you take, but it should be virtually guaranteed after that.
