Day tourists are now charged an entry toll whenever they set foot in Venice’s historic center during peak periods. The city began charging day tourists an entry fee of 5 euros (around $5.30) on Thursday.
Citi, Chase To Cover New Global Entry Fees for Some Cards
16.04.2024 - 18:35 / skift.com / Morgan Chase / Elizabeth Casolo
Starting October 1, 2024, Citi and Chase will cover higher Global Entry fees for certain cardholders.
The news comes after U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) decided to drive up Global Entry fees by 20% — from $100 from $120 — by October, despite wiping application fees for minors. Global Entry permits pre-approved travelers a speedier entrance into the U.S.
Chase and Citi are among the credit card companies that subsidize Global Entry fees for some clients.
According to spokespeople from the two companies, members with these cards will receive up to $120 every four years to cover Global Entry renewal:
Chase said cardholders could also use the credit for NEXUS, another CBP program that eases travel between the U.S. and Canada. NEXUS now costs $120, too.
The higher Global Entry fees have no impact on TSA PreCheck. Still, Chase and Citi Cardholders could apply the credit to this program, as well.
