For $179 you get 5 years of:

*Sentri access: “fast-pass” land access to the US when coming from Mexico
*Nexus access: “fast-pass” air/land/maritime access to/from Canada
*Global Entry: “fast-pass” access to the US when arriving from international location.

But at some time you had to have your fingerprints and passport entered into the system (from the other programs you are enrolled in.)
