Does anyone know if the GE credit will apply for NEXUS renewals or is it only good on the Global Entry application?

I will be applying for two though in the next couple weeks so will post back then if it's still relevant.
This is far from the first card to offer reimbursement for GE. None of those other cards that offer GE reimbursement do it for NEXUS or Sentri.
Btw, in case you're wondering, NEXUS renewal does not even code as travel transaction, but as a government service of some type. So it doesn't even earn any extra points for any card that has a travel category. (I used my City TYP Premier to pay for it a few months ago, and didn't earn the extra 100 points on it, no surprise, but again, also no
big loss.)
But then, it's only $50 once every 5 years, after all. That works out to less than $1 a month.
