No free entry for MBB2 Platinum card members unfortunately. I think they put up quite some wrong information in the notice i saw last time. The PPL hasn't opened yet last time i saw the notice and it was during the time when they were just about to finish renovating the PPL.

By the way, there are two PPL at KKIA Terminal 1. One in the International Departure/Arrival area and another one in the Domestic Departure/Arrival area.

**Above information applies only to Kota Kinabalu International Airport Terminal 1.

Was told priority pass is no longer unlimited access... starting october, 2 times a year only.

Standard Chartered Visa Infinite Priority Pass is now only 2 times a year. Lousy card from a lousy bank

Since early this year they revoke the privileges 1 by 1. End up everything also don't have

yes, my wife just told me she received her new Priority Pass Membership Card from SCB and it's now comes with 2 FREE access only. I told her she can go cancel the card already before her card anniversary date which is due soon so that she don't have to pay the RM50 GST.

60% of MBB VI qualification, hmmmm - if you want unlimited access to Plaza Premium Lounge, i.e. PPL, in Malaysia, I guess you can go with Amex Platinum, HLB Visa Signature and Citibank PremierMiles (not for LCCT) and for KLIA PPL only the Alliance Plat. If you read the first post, even the AMEX Kris Flyer card gives you access to LCCT PPL. But I guess we should not worry too much about LCCT but more importantly which credit card will allow us to access KLIA 2 PPL scheduled to be in operation next year. LCCT PPL is crap but the renovated KLIA PPL is pretty good as it now serves fresh brew coffee with art work.

And if you need to card for overseas, many people here reported that they are able to access airport lounges overseas with their AMEX Plat. So next time you overseas, go ask the lounge.

If you are talking about Priority Pass Membership Card (PPMC) that offers UNLIMITED access to airport lounges worldwide, now only 3 credit cards offer unlimited access with their PPMC. And they are Alliance Bank VI (annual income RM150K), Citi Prestige (annual income RM200K if not mistaken) and UOB Privilege Banking VI (I guess RM36K annual income can also qualify for it on condition you meet the AUM requirement with them).

As for MBB VI, it only offers 5 times FREE access annually with the PPMC. The annual income has been reduced to RM180K BUT if you have like RM200K to deposit with MBB, go talk to MBB Private Banking officer and see how you can get the MBB VI.

Yes, within the RM100K annual income requirement. The three card you mentioned only HLB VS has auto annual fee waiver BUT all offer 1st year annual fee waiver. So conclusion, don't go apply all three cards same time If for KLIA, the Alliance Plat really good, swipe 12 times an annual fee waived and no need to go beg for annual fee waiver like the other 3 cards (If you spend less than RM30K with the HLB VS).

check on the 1st post mentioning CIMB Visa Signature only for LCCT lounge? how about other country lounge? not able to use it?

KLIA, LCCT and Singapore (The green market).
CIMB is verg stingy that gives u only 2 access/year. To get another 2 access following year, u need to spend at least 100k in a year. -.-'''

look like this card doesnt have much benefit
thought could be use on other country lounge as well

For lounge access, other than those world card or infinite card that gives you access to worldwide lounges access, I think AmBank Signature/Platinum gives you the most choices with access to 17 lounges, of coz, t&c applied.

which ambank card ?
i am looking for a travel card that gives me points that never expires and access to worldwide lounge ( not only PPL)

Alliance VI is your choice then

And also Citibank prestige

that is if you don't mind forking out RM1K for the annual fee for the first year whereas the Alliance VI is FREE for the first year and subsequent years with RM30K spending yearly.

Well, with the Citi Prestige, you have to fork out money again when you want to contact their CS since they don't offer Toll Free Line and you need to press your phone at least 17 times (card 16 digits and select 1 for English I guess) before you get to speak to a real person, hahahaha. I tell you, I really hate contacting Citibank CS, they keep asking me for my pin when I don't even remember if I have one, hahaha.

HLB VS do offer Toll Free Line but no Free ride home from KLIA, I guess the ride back home is more worth it

One thing I can tell you about Citibank, they keep revising their card standard feature with time. Click here to read my previous review of the Citibank PremierMiles Visa Signature and you will understand what I mean. Now they no longer promo their PremierMiles VS but instead concentrating on the PremierMiles AMEX.

As for Alliance Bank, they are still offering the same benefit for their Plat card, i.e. cash back up to RM5K spending plus evergreen reward points, swipe 12 times for auto annual fee waiver and Unlimited access to KLIA PPL ever since I got their Plat card more than 6 years ago. So I can safely say from my experience that Alliance will not change their VI benefits in a couple years time.

And the worst case is SCB, last year revised their reward redemption program to almost as good as useless and now revoked the Unlimited FREE entries for their VI.
