I've used it to travel to Canada since then; it makes getting over the border a lot easier, and since they've decided they're going to require passports to travel to Canada, it's very nice to have. Admittedly, I expect that next time I go to visit Canada that I will have a harder time getting back into the United States than I did getting into Canada; this seems to be the case every time I visit.
