Don't just go for pre-check, get Global Entry - 5 years of pre-check plus skipping the passport lines. Totally worth the $100.

In other news, if you have certain travel credit cards some of them will reimburse.

Also, seriously $100 is like 3 drinks in NYC.

I assumed TSA pre got you Global Entry automatically, but if not, get Global Entry. I have NEXUS which gets me TSA pre and Global Entry.

 

I've got Pre-Check but not Global Entry. I am not currently in a major city so getting a TSA office with Global Entry certification has been a bit of a pain. That being said, Pre has been the best thing I ever did for myself in the past year and a half. Airports I hit tend to be very very busy, and the ~2 hours I saved not having to deal with security over Thanksgiving was glorious.
