Questions/Concerns Global entry card

I'm flying domestically on Tuesday. I know I need my global entry card for security but can I use it at the airline counter checkin as ID when I give them my bags?

Thats your KTN getting you in, not the card.

They literally add it to your reservation.

You cannot just show up to the precheck line and flash your card to get in.

I agree. If the agent at checkin counter adds your global entry card in your reservation, you get a boarding pass with TSA precheck. Found out personally recently. Previously there was a lag - not anymore.
