I never carry my GE card with me as all the information is in my passport already (i.e. GE). The problem is they don't have passport/boarding pass scanners at the beginning of security for some reason, at least in Toronto. So if you don't have a physical GE card to show, they can't validate your claim to be GE/NEXUS. Super annoying.

I always bring my card with me for expedited security. It’s not that heavy to carry. And also when I declare food at US Customs they often ask to see my NEXUS card.

Agreed, but when the CBP tells you you don't need your card when traveling by air I wouldn't think to bring it along.

This has never happened to me - Customs just wants to see my Global Entry declaration slip and passport when I make a declaration. What port of entry are you using, and are you using the GE kiosks or something else like mobile passport?

I always declare food at the YYZ kiosk. Then the agent asks to see my NEXUS card and boarding pass and he/she scans the card. Zero upside in my view not to carry the NEXUS card with me especially for the expedited security.
