I have only used nexus crossing from a Canadian (airport only) into the US about 4 times.
And I ended up with 2 strikes (separately)
1. I had a TN visa whose date was extended and I hadn't notified them.
2. I had a stale chocolate chip cookie going from Toronto to New York which I bought in chicago and failed to declare.
Both times the CBP was ready to give me electrical shock but let me keep my nexus card. I never use it now.. ever! But I need it for TSA Precheck.
My questions -
1. Has anyone in a situation like mine successfully renewed their Nexus card?
2. Logging into my DHS GOES website, I see that "Renew Membership" button is available. I have 11 months before my membership expires. Should I apply now, wait, or simply assume I'll lose it?
Renew it now. Once you've used Precheck, you don't want to go back to the standard TSA line.
