Applying for Global Entry<\/a> is getting more expensive this October, but many of the major credit card issuers are boosting their Global Entry benefits for some of their most popular travel rewards cards.<\/p>\n

Citi announced in April that it would increase its Global Entry statement credits on two of its top cards to $120 every four years. Chase quickly followed, and now Amex and Capital One have announced they will do the same for many of their popular cards.<\/p>\n

The move comes after TPG was first to report<\/a> that the price of applying for a five-year Global Entry membership would rise from $100 to $120 from Oct. 1. In announcing the fee hike, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which oversees Global Entry, cited rising costs to operate the program.<\/p>\n

Here’s what to know about this change and the full list of cards that will see changes.<\/p>\n

Offsetting the higher Global Entry fee<\/h2>\n

As valuable an option as Global Entry is for travelers, the application fee isn’t a drop in the bucket. However, some travel credit cards will reimburse the fee<\/a> when it comes time to apply.<\/p>\n

But many of those cards’ benefits include specified credits of up to $100 to cover the existing Global Entry expense. (Exact terms differ from card to card.)<\/p>\n
