I’d like to introduce a new feature to VeryGoodPoints called “Ask Stacey”. Every day I get emails, comments and questions from friends, family, readers, etc…about travel destinations, hotels, this blog, etc… this section will answer your burning questions. Ask away!
Whenever someone submits a question to me I’ll answer them here. You can ask questions via my contact me page!
So what’s on your mind?
Could you give instructions on how to book adjoining rooms at a hotel? I can’t figure out how this works.
I did a match on AA for platinum level and have 6 upgrades.. how do I use those?
Regarding Global Entry Card for TSA Precheck…
1. Do you ask the TSA agent to scan your Global Entry Card rather than your ticket?
2. Do you still need to register your known traveler number on the air ticket?
3. Can this method be used with airlines that do not participate in TSA Precheck since you scan the GE Card?

Regarding Global Entry Card for TSA Precheck…
1. Do you ask the TSA agent to scan your Global Entry Card rather than your ticket? – I just handed him the Global Entry Card. Then he looked at the ticket and waived me on.
2. Do you still need to register your known traveler number on the air ticket? I’m not sure.
3. Can this method be used with airlines that do not participate in TSA Precheck since you scan the GE Card? I don’t know the answer, you should look on the TSA or GE website.
@Neil – I would suggest using them on the flights where you’ll get most value. Long-haul trips. Trips where you’re likely not to get an upgrade w/your status (popular cities, hub cities, etc..) Congrats on the match. Who did they match?
@DT, call the hotel directly. Good luck
Thanks Stacey. It was a company sponsored match vs. United. With the upgrades how do I activate them or use them? Do I do it when I’m booking the flight? Or do I book economy and then call them to upgrade?
