Can Nexus card be used at US airports if arriving from country other than Canada?
If you have a Nexus membership (and NOT Global Entry), have you used your card at the Global Entry kiosk at an US airport to get the Global Entry benefits?
Nexus can clearly be used at participating Canadian Preclearance airports to enter the US and you get the Global Entry Benefits.
A lot of people say that Nexus is superior to Global Entry program and they point out the following facts. 1. Nexus is cheaper ($50 as opposed to Global Entry which costs $100) 2. Nexus gets you into the fast lane when entering Canada from USA by air/water/land. Global Entry does not give you that benefit. 3. Nexus gets you into fast lane when entering Mexico from USA (because of the reciprocal benefits between Nexus and Sentri program). Global Entry does not give you that benefit. 4. "using Global Entry kioks when entering the United States.."

I am having trouble understanding the item number 4 above. Does Nexus give you the "Global Entry" benefit, only if you are using the Nexus kiosks at one of the ten preclearance airports (Reference: Airports with NEXUS Kiosks)? Whatever I read suggests that Nexus card CANNOT be used with the Global Entry kiosks at the US airports, if arriving at US from any country other than Canada (say, Brazil or Japan) or from any Canadian airport other than the Pre-clearance airports.
