@*devilelle*,
It could just be a new ruling but it doesn't make sense to me.

Speaking of which, do U think it'll be wise for me to apply for both Amex Gold Charge & CC at the same time or what?!

@*devilelle*,
A fellow forummer here recently reported he's got 14 cards and counting...

Another has 3 name card boxes filled with CCs.

Conclusion: I don't think the 3 card per person rule is applicable but in my opinion, it's pretty good to curb over spending - not like it's gonna help if each card gives CL of RM200k!

@Optiplex330,
Hence people accumulate CCs over the years because their needs changes. I prefer to remain loyal to one cause of the reward points and my pick for now is Amex *smiles* Citibank sux in my opinion and I'd been with them for 10 years!

@vampbreak,
Er.. I believe my existing Amex Plat oredi give me access to Concierge services I don't mind getting an extra laptop bag hence the Amex Gold Charge Card application. Ah well.... maybe I go for the Charge Card first and then onli the CC since got no freebies anyways

@*devilelle*,
Er.. CC business is quite high risk ! A lot of non payment mah

@Optiplex330,
Amex is not as recognised here in MY hence despite Amex being my 1st choice, I still use Citibank as my secondary card for when the merchant doesn't accept Amex.

Also, Dell Malaysia does accept Amex I've bought several units via my Amex CC through Dell

@Optiplex330,
At the moment, tadak CC yang bagi FOC access to Plaza Premium Lounge @ LCCT.

The only one I can think of is SCB's Visa Infinite but that comes with RM800 AF p/year hence doesn't fulfill your requirement either

As I mentioned, Amex wasn't too recognised here in MY. For our Msian market, it was always MasterCard and then Visa caught up

@woengx2,
SCB Visa Infinite comes with Priority Pass Level 2 and Plaza Premium Lounge LCCT is affiliated to Priority Pass hence SCB Visa Infinite holders can get access.

I thought the 1st year AF waiver for SCB Visa Infinite were only applicable to PB members; perhaps I should try to put in an application then

@Gen-X,
Use the Amex 0% instalment plan instead of the merchant instalment plan then

@woengx2,
PB as in Priority Banking or Privileged Banking, whichever the banks call it.

Yeah that's right - U need to show the Priority Pass - and the SCB Visa Infinite comes with a Priority Pass; U dun haf?

-- Added --
In order to gain access to Plaza Premium Lounges, U will need to show your SCB Visa Infinite + Priority Pass.

@vin_ann,
The thing is I'm in Ipoh that weekend for a wedding so am not sure if I can even make it to the TreatsFair. Need to ajak mom if she wanna go shopping on Sun *grins*

@woengx2,
Er.. when did U try because it was only in the recent months Plaza Premium Lounge LCCT accepts Priority Pass.

PS: I haven't tried but the information I provided is what's written in the welcome booklet.

@tgeoklin,
Er.. but the Priority Pass that comes with SCB is FOC. U don't need to pay a single cent to go in.

@woengx2,
Perhaps U could call the bank to check with them. But tgeoklin is right; Priority Pass access is only given to principle cardholder and not supplementary. However, I don't think you're using a supplementary card

@*devilelle*,
AFAIK when banks reject CC applications, the CS wouldn't know the reason.

@tgeoklin,
Yup.. USD27 for each guest.

@woengx2,
Ah well.. in that case, try again the next time and if U don't get in, perhaps U could all the bank on the spot for the reason.

@*devilelle*,
Apparently it's just a policy and only the credit department will know the reason.

@vin_ann,
U go ahead - if I make it to the TreatsFair I probably put an application in on the spot - shouldn't be too difficult since I'm oredi an existing Amex CC holder

@woengx2,
I guess we just haf to wait for another forummer to give us his report. Or whoever's got the SCB Visa Infinite + going to LCCT soon can give it a try and report back. Til then, it's just going to be baseless debate

@jack2,
I don't usually do that but if I'm writing to U, u would know what I'm speaking to because I usually make a point of reference. I don't like quoting other people cause that means I have more to type and can't respond fast enough, plus what's the point of having too lengthy posts

@vin_ann,
Thank U At least I know you've been paying attention to my posts I doubt those "rare" people will wanna comment much cause they wanna keep low profile

@he-sham,
Optiplex330 is right - the LCCT Plaza Premium Lounge is only accessible if you have Priority Pass which is issued together with the SCB Visa Infinite.

@hye,
Ah well.. we do have some rather high flyers here mah

@vampbreak,
Er... I don't see much rewards from that other than if you're a frequent traveller cause of the Priority Pass. No free gift some more and need to pay RM800 per annum!

For all U know, hye's one of the "rare" few here

@vampbreak,
Eh... please stop trying to be so modest; it's having a reverse effect

@Reventon,
Congratulations! Yes it comes with 2 Golden Lounge Vouchers; one for local travel and 1 valid at an International destination; or at least that's what I read.

@muscaa,
Ah well.. in that case then I'll just put in the application wherever is convenient. Will do it lah, but not so soon

@zenquix,
If I'm going for the TreatsFair I'll just lodge my application then, otherwise will do it via fax I guess *smiles* It's easier than to walk into any MBB branch - ma fan! but am holding out the application till I hear back from SCB.

@tgeoklin,
iSh..... apa promotion dari SCB? Anyhow, it's past so no point even talking about it.

@Reventon,
That's 10 and counting..... I even pai-seh wanna show me cards; I've got Jusco, ONE, Voir, Padini, Metrojaya, Robinsons, Memory Lane cards .... *kekeke*

@vampbreak,
Go check out the requirements by visiting their website lah. Don't be so lazy and stop whining about wanting a Mastercard. Just go apply for it and U don't always need to apply for the top range card!
