The previous answers are correct. But after verifying your KTN and name are stored correctly, remember what a TSA agent told me -- an eligible Pre-Check individual is NEVER guaranteed to get TSA Pre-Check approval on any particular flight. It's not under the control of the airline. They simply supply your name and KTN to the TSA, which is why you want to ensure that information is correct. Then the TSA uses some funky, Google-like algorithm that takes into account how long your trip is, how often you fly, how often you fly to that particular destination, whatever intel they have about national air travel terrorism risk for your day of travel. After running all that through a computer, and possibly flipping a coin or maybe rolling a die for good luck, they decide whether or not to approve your precheck. Perhaps that explains things like why I won't get pre-check on an outbound flight, but then on the return flight 36 hours later I do?
