DansDeals reader Steven K tipped me off to the fact that Chase Sapphire Reserve now covers the NEXUS fee, as an alternative to Global Entry or PreCheck, once every 4 years. You can view your card benefits and see when you last used your credit here.

 

This comes after the launch of the Chase Air Canada Aeroplan Mastercard, which officially markets the option of Global Entry or NEXUS credit.

I also see the NEXUS option listed under card benefits on the Chase United Explorer, Chase United Quest, and Chase United Club Infinite cards, so it appears that all Chase cards that offer Global Entry now allow the credit to be used on NEXUS! Other Chase cards with Global Entry benefits include the Chase IHG Premier and JPMorgan Ritz Carlton card.

That is fantastic news for people who travel to Canada!

It’s also great news for anyone with kids, as kids can apply for NEXUS with their parents for free and they will get Global Entry and PreCheck as well!

Here’s a breakdown of what each program offers:

I have Global Entry and CLEAR and love them for making travel so much easier, but perhaps we’ll get NEXUS at the next renewal. Which memberships do you have?

I’ve had nexus since day 1.
Wouldn’t want any other!
Also free for children under 18!

Chaim

I’m baffled by the pricing.
Go figure.

Zack

Can I get nexus for 2 people with the $100 credit on reserve?

Tom

No, I’ve already tried to battle this out with Chase and they won’t budge. They provide ONE credit, up to $100. If that credit doesn’t reach the $100 limit (i.e. Precheck $85 or Nexus $50), then you lose the remaining credit value.

If you have global entry is there any reason that you would also need TSA is there anything TSA provides that you won’t have if you just have global entry? Also, can you use a credit that you would have on your credit card for the program if to use for another family member who is not on the credit card?

EM1

Global Entry includes TSA precheck, so no you wouldn’t need to pay for tsa too. You just use your credit card for the application, doesn’t matter who you apply for, you will be reimbursed 1 time.

Nexus. Living close to the border, our closest enrollment center was a nexus location anyhow. $100 for our family of 4 was icing on the cake. I understood at the time that the nexus pricing was kept low thanks to the Canadian government wanting it to be accessible (and US matched pricing)

LY

The amex green card has a $100 credit for clear

EM1

If kids under 18 get nexus membership for free with their parents, does that mean they automatically get Global entry as well?

ucc

I can confirm the answer is yes. NEXUS automatically gets you GE, no matter how old you are :p

Cnak

Yes, it’s included. Nexus includes everything from all the express travel options and kids have the full membership it just happens to be free.

El Capitan

Think it’s going to trigger other banks that already cover Global entry to cover this as well?

DF

I clicked on the nexus link and see that it includes pre check, but I didn’t see anything about global entry?

Josh

on the DHS website it looks like Nexus only include TSA Precheck, but not Global entry.

chff

I guess it happened with the Aeroplan card

Stephen

I was under the impression that authorized users for platinum only get benefits if they have the actual platinum card. Not the green/gold.
Did I read correctly that even the free AU get same benefits? All same benefits or select few?

DF

So global entry only when returning from Canada?

Sandi Isaacson

The site says Global entry through “Canadian pre-clearance airports.” I am not sure that means it will work at any Global Entry airport.

Abraham

Nothing for Chase Sapphire Preferred ?

Dan\'s the Man

Any easy way to tell the last time you used your global entry credit with Chase or any of the companies?

CtownBin

Just to make sure I understand this- if I am a family of 5, then NEXUS costs $100 for all of us while Global entry costs $500?? AND it has extra benefits? Seems like it’s a no-brainer even without the NEXUS fee waived, it’ll still come out cheaper (I mean, unless you have 5 cards at once that waive GE and manage to use all 5 when applying). With the fee waived, it’s a complete no-brainer.

CtownBin

If you have NEXUS, can you skip the Customs line when flying into Canada from NON-US destinations? For example, a flight from YYZ-TLV-YYZ, will I skip security on the way out of Toronto, and then skip Customs when I land back in Toronto, even though I’m not going to the US?

Work-for-ur-muny

What I suspect coming from the CC companies as a next step? Remove GE coverage, and replace it with the much cheaper NEXUS, with the claim that GE is anyways covered, thus forcing all future applications to go to a border city. Your thoughts?

Menachem

They won’t want to upset all their consumers in the south

Thingy

I had global entry but it expired. Do I need to go or an appointment to renew? If not, would I be able to get nexus without an appointment?

Cnak

Nexus is great but I have a baby and can’t get an interview because of Covid. In addition, although nexus is the best you have to travel to the Canadian boarder for the interview because it is meant for frequent boarder crossers.

Cnak

Also, nexus only costs $50 per an adult over 18, kids are free, and it’s good for 5 years until your birthday. (5 plus the the extra until your next birthday, for example yours started in May but your birthday is in august then it will expire on your birthday in 5 years plus 3 months)

CtownBin

So, a family of 5 who gets NEXUS- everyone is going to have a different expiration date? Seems like a pain when trying to renew, it would be convenient to renew everyone together…

a yid

you can only have an interview at the Champlain or Niagara Falls center?
wow that’s out of the way for most ppl!!

bigissy

So…. according to the link above for global entry, Chicago has no available appointments, ever. Is this site to be trusted or should I call, and have them not return my message?

Al

If one has GE, do you have to start all over applying for Nexus or can you get approved because your trusted traveler status?

Stan

Has anyone tried to apply for nexus with the new capital one x card? Just wondering do they also cover the nexus fees.

Mike

United Business club card doesn’t have this benefit?

SRS

I can totally confirm that Nexus gives you TSA-Precheck and Global Entry in the United States. I’ve had Nexus since late 2018 and have used it multiple times returning from int’l trips to US airports (i.e., PHL, ORD). My husband and I traveled to the Niagara Falls Enrollment Center — had a straightforward interview which included both of us at the same time. We then immediately crossed into Canada and had our biometrics added to our Nexus accounts (not sure if this enrollment center will reopen). Canada just suspended all interviews for Nexus as of 12/21/21 until further notice, but anyone who has Nexus is recommended to renew online when it’s closer to expiration and they will extend your Nexus until you can attend the interview. I have not renewed, but I have also been told that some renewals do not require an in-person interview (i.e., as long as nothing has changed since initial application). It is so worth it and I’m excited that the Chase cards are now going to reimburse us for the $50 fee.

eli

can non usa citizens get GE ?

bob

Good luck getting approved in the next year.

I had a pending application in before covid for 9 months….and now it requires an appointment and all locations are closed.

s

so i can apply for nexus get global entry and precheck for any destination and it only cost 50 so me and my wife can do it on one card?

RRG

I can apply for nexus and I already have global entry but I need to pay an additional $50 fee.

UncleMo

Dan, you sure Nexus includes Global Entry as well?? On the DHS website it only says that Precheck is included with Nexus.
