Anyone know for sure? Iv seen on line from nexus to ge but not other way...

Pretty sure you'd need to pay for Nexus.
Next time just sign up for Nexus and get GE for free (it's a pretty silly system)

I didn't sign upfor any yet. But would rather pay nothing then 50$.... I think you would agree with that....

Oh, I forgot, when I did it, you could get AMEX to refund you for nexus (not just GE). Now you are correct, if you want Nexus you gotta pay $50 and no reimbursement.
Curious if the citi prestige card would refund nexus...

Umm there may be something to that, I remember when I got my citizenship papers they said something about giving up any other citizenship...I was only 12 at the time so I don't remember exactly what is was.

I do however know a few times that I've mentioned something by the border about being dual and the officer told me "you can't tell me about that" so now days I'll leave me other passport visible so they can ask me if they need to or I'll point to it and say "I also have this"

Strange thing is I just came into the US recently with a friend who showed his Canadian passport and during secondary questioning the guy told him "we can see you're American, why did you show us your Canadian passport?" they clearly know some info....

There is def no prob with having dual btwn Canadian and American. I remember a few times showing the rong one and them having no problem saying weres your other one... But mAybe with Israeli it's dif.
I just remember when I was younger I asked them... which one I'm suppose do show when... lol

Always show the passport belonging to the country that you are entering.

Is there another CC that returns the global entry fee besides Amex Platinum? I was thinking of getting it even for the $100. For just a few trips in 5 years it seems worth it??

Citi Prestige

I think the issue that you had has more to do with being a naturalized citizen, from my research. I was born in USA, and only have an Israeli citizenship due to having an Israeli parent.

This. I always fly into america using the US passport. My only concern was getting flagged upon entry to USA.

Anyways, I spoke to over 10 agents at different CBP offices to make sure I was getting a consistent answer, and they all said I don't need to enter the citizenship. So that's clear.

can I use someone else amex platinum card to pay for global entry and get reimbursed?
or does amex only credit if it is done in your own name?
the person already did the global entry on one of his amex platinum so his other one wasn't used at all for this.

TIA

I've received an e-communication from citi informing me of the benefits of my citi A"Advantage executive card, among them is a $100 credit after purchasing a global entry. Is this with all citi AA executive cards or is it targeted?

Yes.

Interesting. Haven't seen it anywhere.

When scheduling an appointment in JFK, how long before do I need to be there? Do they run on time? How long should I leave for it?

They are prompt. On time. Takes maybe 5-10 minutes if there are no issues.

until someone makes a wiki... does the amex refund the expense from the $200 airline credit or is this a different perk all together? Can I include my wife? TIA
