here is something i learned recently about APEC cards while travelling with my wife who does not have one ...

i have an APEC card and decided that i would approach the APEC line customs agent and ask nicely if myself and my wife could be processed through his counter. (the line through customs was at least 20mins long).

the customs agent said to me that it was fine to do so and that in the future i can, if travelling with my partner, approach the counter and be processed. we did this on return to Australia and it worked just like the customs agent said.

also with the APEC card you can get a discount at Downtown Duty Free, for those who were not already aware (i can't remember how much the discount was the guy just put it all through at once for me)

anyway, just thought ppl might want to know.

cheers and beers.
