I had NEXUS and GE in the remote past. I let NEXUS expire, and I kept GE.
Since I had a couple of upcoming trips to Canada, I wanted to restart NEXUS.

The websites are better than in the past, but the process is still not quite so straightforward.
I submitted everything online and got conditional approval within 12 hours. Amex picked up the charge.

For the interview, there were exceptionally few choices. The Ambassador Bridge in Detroit had unlimited availability, including weekends. Since I have family in MIchigan, I flew there for the weekend.

The Uber driver, of course, screwed up despite detailed instructions. I was late for the interview. Finding the right office was also a challenge. I went to two incorrect buildings. Of course the CBP staff were rolling their eyes that I could be so stupid as to find the wrong, unmarked building. I've never been to a "supermax," but I imagine it looks a lot like this place.

The office was overflowing at 8:00 am on a Saturday. There were passengers from all over the country since there are so few options.

I was helped quite quickly--within five minutes. The officer made unprofessional comments about my education but then noted my "extensive travel history." He asked usual questions about if I had been arrested in other countries. He asked why I didn't "finish going to school." (I have four degrees.) I believe that this officer may have been accepted early decision to University. I killed him with smiles and kindness, but I thought about saying, "Oh, I know where you're going with this, but I don't date other guys." He would have combusted.

He needed my driving license, and he needed my "other" passport since I'm a dual citizen. I think he just scanned those. He fought with the camera for a while, took my photo, and he took my fingerprints. (I'm sure that my fingerprints have changed since last time. So that makes sense.)

Then I had to wait for a representative from CBSA/ASFC. He was not a spectacular representative of Canada. "Why would you go to Canada?" "What would you see there?" "What's the point of going to Canada?" "Have you ever been arrested in Canada?" "Why would you go to Canada?" "What's the point of going to Canada?"
He finally grumbled and walked away.
(The obvious answer would have been, "I want to go to Canada to spend quality time with you. You must have a lot of friends. Do all Canadians hate life as much as you do? Do you often feel that the world owes you more that what you are getting out of it?)

The US CBP officer reviewed that I had NEXUS, GE, and PreCheck so as to ensure that there was no confusion that I have everything.

Then it was over. The approval email showed up as I was leaving the "facility."
The new card arrived within one week. I'll try it out on the first of the month.
My KTN did not change

Too bad there is no Verified Traveller queue at YVR security. At least not right now. Yay for preclearance at YTZ. I'm psyched to avoid Pearson.
