Definitely not being sent to other countries for pre-clearance.

The APEC card requires you travel for business purposes to the member countries. Plus you must be a Global Entry, or similar member. Get interviewed, etc.
I'm also a little confused about the APEC card. The website shows that you still need a visa for countries that require them. Is the purpose of the card to just get through security quicker?
The APEC card costs $70, in addition to the $100 Global Entry or similar, fee.
Refer to last discussion in May in this
thread. The expectation is that the only benefit is to allow for access to crew/diplomatic lanes in APEC countries.

According to above, if already Global Entry member, all you have to do is visit center for electronic signature?? Very confusing...
A link please, thanks!
If you are a GE member, then all you have to do is pay the fee, "self-certify" you are a business person with business in APEC countries and go to an enrollment center and have your signature captured. I believe the signature gets printed onto the card.
