If you want a higher tier travel credit card, you might consider a card that charges an annual fee that's lower than the credit it offers for TSA PreCheck, Global Entry or Nexus. While you technically won't be getting a membership for free, you could still save more than you would by buying the membership outright.

The article from CNET discusses how travelers can obtain TSA PreCheck for free or at a reduced cost during the winter travel season. It highlights that while TSA PreCheck typically costs $78 for a five-year membership, there are several ways to avoid this fee. Credit card companies like American Express, Chase, and Capital One often offer promotions where new cardholders can receive a statement credit for the application fee. For instance, cards like the American Express® Green Card, Chase Sapphire Reserve®, and Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card provide this benefit. Additionally, some loyalty programs, such as those from airlines or travel booking sites like Expedia, occasionally offer similar deals. The article advises travelers to check for current promotions, apply for a card with this perk, and then use the card to pay for the TSA PreCheck application to get reimbursed. It also mentions that even if you don't travel frequently, the convenience of expedited security screening might still make the investment worthwhile.
