Thanks to both of you, I did check our state's requirements yesterday. It appears my state will issue a same day state ID with his birth cert and social security card. I may end up doing this. I may just use it on my nephew who I am taking to Europe next month. I probably wouldn't do global entry though since he wouldn't have the Pre-Check in time for our trip (which includes 3 separate domestic departures). He's not likely to fly international again any time soon anyway, so the Pre-Check would be the most helpful for our trip.
That is a bummer and I think it is a fear we all share when transferring points. I would probably just transfer the other 90K for peace of mind if I had them, but it would be a hard pill to swallow.
