If you cross the US/Canada border or travel to the US often, you should consider getting a NEXUS card. NEXUS is a joint program by the Canada Border Services Agency and U.S. Customs and Border Protection designed to expedite border crossings between US/Canada. NEXUS card holders can also use the Global Entry kiosks/portals for entry at participating airports when entering the US, and use the facial verification NEXUS kiosks or eGates at participating airports when entering Canada. The application-processing fee for NEXUS is USD 50 per adult applicant, and there is no fee for children under the age of 18. Below is a list of credit cards in Canada that offer NEXUS application fee rebate.
| Credit Card | Annual Fee | NEXUS Rebate |
| CIBC Aventura Visa Gold | $139 | 1 rebate up to $100 CAD every 4 year |
| CIBC Aventura Visa Infinite | $139 | 1 rebate up to $100 CAD every 4 year |
| CIBC Aventura Visa Infinite Privilege | $499 | 2 rebates up to $100 CAD each every 4 year |
