Not sure what you mean that "TSA Pre ... accepts the GE card."  You 
become eligible for Pre-Check if you have elite FF status in one of 
the currently participating airlines and/or enter your GE or other 
CBP Trusted Traveller program ID numbers in the participating airline 
information or in your PNR, but you don't need or use a GE card for 
any of this, and the GE card serves no purpose.  If you're Pre-Check 
eligible, the TSA *may* select you for expedited screening on a 
per-departure basis.  There is no opportunity nor benefit to having 
or showing the card.  You either are (a) eligible and selected for 
expedited screening on a specific departure, (b) are not eligible or 
eligible but not selected.
