Does anyone know whether the Global Entry/Pre benefit would apply for Nexus (instead, obviously). It's half the price of GE, and I'd guess, if you do the Nexus application/renewal online, charged to by the same vendor, given the application is from the same place. Not gonna be a make or break, but would be nice if they did that. I assume it be one time every 4 years still (wife needs to renew by early next year, me by mid-next year).
Also, does anyone know if the $300 travel credit is given annual by calendar year, or is it from the time of approval to 365 days after that? Obviously, if the former, could be very valuable to get the card right now, as you could double from this benefit (already pretty good value, even if not).
Also, anyone know what benefits apply to a second cardholder on the account. Obviously, the $300 credit is per account - but I believe the lounge membership is each user (I hope, with the $75 additional card fee), as is the GE credit. What else applies to a second cardholder?
Nexus isn't covered by the GE/Pre reimbursement, based on earlier posts. But it could be covered by the Travel charge, if it's coded as such. Not sure that's been confirmed either way yet.
Travel credit is by calendar year, which is one of the most attractive features IMO (that's probably consensus, but you can judge for yourself by the 180 pages of posts).
Lounge membership is per AU and included as part of the $75 AF.
Nothing else applies to the AU specifically. They can earn UR for the account. The travel credit and GE/Pre reimburment applies to the account, so that could be used by an AU.
