We have our flights booked to Italy in October and I got the email last week that my Capital One Venture card now will reimburse any new GE or PreCheck fee.

Does anyone know how long of a process applying for GE takes from sign up/interview to having the status? I saw the PreCheck thread yesterday and it sounds like its within a week for PreCheck

Basically is it worth trying to get the status for our Italy trip or are we past the window?

You should have plenty of time. Doing the online app and getting "pre-verified" or whatever they call it is pretty easy. Scheduling the interview can be easy or take a couple of weeks, depending on where you need to interview. Mine took 3-4 weeks, IIRC. So you've got plenty of time to apply & be approved before an Oct trip.

I finally got the "conditional approval" after exactly 3 weeks for GE. Scheduled an interview fora couple weeks from now. Hopefully it won't take long after that to get final approval.
