Just a point of information - the GE card just gets you into the US by land or sea without a passport, and allows you to use the Nexus or Sentri lane entering the US. You cannot use the GE card going into Canada or Mexico through the Nexus or Sentri lane - for those countries you need a Nexus or Sentri card, and if you are traveling by air you must have a passport (into the US or anywhere else). My recommendation is that for $50 you can get a Nexus card & GE instead of $100 for GE + another $15 for the GE card.
