@Christopher *******
you may want to confirm how this works for USA. I am also USA and have had an APEC card for about 5 years. The USA is only a transitional member so it’s my understanding the visa benefits do not apply for us. When you get your card look at the back. It will probably be blank and not list other countries. Here is a link.

The Thai consulate Los Angeles also has some info for this. You have to have “THA” on back of card for visa benefit.
I have only been able to use card for premium or expedited immigration lines
