You wrote that "I got my Global Entry in 2013, and then NEXUS in 2015."
This means that starting in 2015 when your NEXUS was originally approved, your standalone GE membership was deleted, and today you have NEXUS (which includes GE and your NEXUS membership uses the same PASS ID - known traveler number - as your original GE used).
In 2019, you can initiate the renewal process for NEXUS, 364 days before your 2020 NEXUS expiration date (or one day after your 2019 birthday).
Remember, NEXUS includes GE. In 2015, your successful signup for NEXUS brought you all GE privileges as well. Don't be confused. As a NEXUS member, you have GE as part of NEXUS.
A GE renewal costs $100 for five years (current pricing). A NEXUS renewal (which includes GE) costs $50 for five years. Why do you want to renew GE when all you have to do is renew NEXUS?
So, my situation is similar. I applied and was approved for Global Entry in January 2014. I have a Global Entry card that indicates it will expire on my birthday, 2019 (May 2019). I separately applied and was approved for NEXUS in November 2016, as my job started requiring me to travel to Canada regularly. My NEXUS card indicates it will expire on my birthday, May 2022.
When I log into the new CBP Trusted Traveler Program dashboard, only my NEXUS membership shows up - Global Entry is not reflected. Based on above, I understand that's because my NEXUS approval replaces (and includes a new) GE membership. As such - do I understand correctly that I do not need to renew until after my birthday in May 2021 (for a renewal term starting 2022 for 5 years)?
This is really important for me to get correct! As someone who flies 3-4 times a week - I need TSA Pre-check to automatically work for me!
Thanks!
