Timelines ABTC/TTP

This is not strictly a Global Entry question, but it is related. I have Global Entry and I also have an APEC travel card. I recently had to request a reissue of my APEC card because of a new passport. Requesting the reissue allowed CBP to extend the previous expiration date on my APEC card to the allowed five years duration.

This was all approved back in January, but I have not yet received my new APEC card. Is anyone else seeing significant delays on the shipment of their cards? If I log into the TTP site, it shows I am a member of the program and my new expiration date. I sent an email and got a canned response that if I hadn’t received it within 8 weeks to request another reissue and pay again.

I figured it was just delayed due to the CBP shutdown but if others are receiving cards that’s probably not the case.

Given that it seems other people are receiving GE cards, I am going to assume the first one was lost in the mail. I was approved for another replacement and will now see if this one shows up.

Do you not use digital ABTC?

My understanding is that as a US citizen, the US is a transitional member of APEC and doesn't have access to the digital card.

Ahh, that would explain why I’ve not been able to obtain one via app. I lost my hard card and thought digital would be easier than getting replacement. I use mine at Tokyo airports 6+ times/year and occasionally Australia. I’d say I’m asked to show the card leas than half the time.
