If Germany is the next country to join FLUX, am I to assume that I'd have to pay hundreds of Euros for their program as well? Seems like a cost model that could quickly require many hundreds of Euros per year to have FLUX access to all of the EU countries that I visit regularly.
Be sure to drop by a GE interview site and get the CBP sticker in your passport. While the GOES site says that no interview is necessary when going from NEXUS to GE some agents will look in your passport to verify the sticker that you would have received at a GE interview, and will hassle you if it is not there. You do not need to make an appointment - just walk in and they will take you next.
