In the US, you can get an APEC card as a checkbox with Global Entry. During the interview the agent had never heard of APEC before but I got it, and it has a very low sequence number.
It’s great using the diplomat line throughout Asia.

The US (and Canada) APEC card isn't very useful because it doesn't work as a universal visa, since the US (and Canada) wasn't willing to reciprocate and honor other APEC cards as visas.
