In general the card and fast access through customs in BOTH directions going to the US and returning to Canada is fantastic. Some observations:<br />1. US customs does do spot checks from time to time and will pull you aside to 'rip you apart' and ask some 'fresh questions". In the time that I have had the card this has happened twice. <br />2. The customs machine wit iris recognition (souped up ATMs) are not always working. This happens about 20% of the time. You then get in the 'pilots, crew & VIP lane'.<br />3. The actual BIGGEST benefit I have found which I appreciate the most now is my use of the card when I return to Canada as you bypass Canada customs and head pretty much straight to the luggage area after going through a Nexus ATM. Sometime the entry to Canada lines can be WORSE than the outgoing US lines. The only 'gotcha' is if you check luggage. This is a hurry up and wait situation as luggage can take 30+ minutes to arrive on bad days.<br />Overall it is the BEST US$50 I have ever spent.Harry Zimmernoreply@blogger.com
