If you don't travel much, then of course a trusted travel program is not useful.
For the $50 renewal fee, you'll likely (not certain, but likely) get your Nexus renewed without a requirement for a new interview. The Nexus card itself is a valid form of TSA-approved identification, so if your current state driver license is not RealID-compliant, you'd already have an ID that works for "federal purposes" such as air travel after October 2020. Of course, Nexus includes Global Entry and TSA Precheck, so those programs would continue for you upon renewal of your Nexus membership.
This is what I was hoping for. My driver's license isn’t RealID compliant, but I have a passport. Regardless of the cost, I don’t travel internationally enough anymore to justify taking a full day off for both my wife and me to go to Detroit for another interview (it’s at least an hour and a half away). I just wanted to make sure I wouldn’t be flagged somehow for failing to renew.
