I did see the AEON banner last month at JJ (now AEON). I must say the 6X FOC access to PPL is a very good benefit for a Gold card.

yeah the website also gt write as chongkai mentioned...

so called gold card with platinum privilege...

but it stated 6X access for principle card member only... Free RM 50 with 3 swipe after activation within 60days and 3 years annual fees waive ( pay RM24 first then they will rebate the money on the 3rd or 4th month)....

Still wondering worth to apply for this for use in jusco only....and the free KLIA lounge access since its 'free' at least for first year ...

Added on August 5, 2012, 8:06 pmi guess its good for ppl who nt qualify for plat and yet they might travel 1-2x /year depart at KLIA ...

I wonder how they calculate 6x PPL (KLIA) entry for AEON Gold CC ?

Bro, go read T&C in the link chongaik92 posted above.

Does anyone have Stanchart VI card? I saw on the main page that they have unlimited Priority Pass access worldwide. I'm looking for a card that can give me that since my company doesn't normally pay for business class flights :-( I have a stanchart platinum that I took just because of the KLIA premier lounge access but that place is really really crap. I'd rather hang out at Starbucks or Coffeebean.

Gen-X, did u see anywhere mention amex plat able to enter HK airport lounge (The Travelers' Lounge) fOC?
Coz the lady at the counter told me we can access the lounge using amex.

The StanChart Visa Infinite is issued to SCB Priority Banking customers and also those who have x amount in outstanding housing loans with SCB.

Want to see what other cards that grants you unlimited access to airport lounge worldwide click here to my article on Free Airport Lounge access with Malaysia Credit Cards - updated August 2012

Bro, I don't have AMEX Plat so I don't know but it seems that AMEX Plat do offer free access to many airport lounge worldwide. Maybe pspfan and b00n can assist you here and would be nice if someone can give us link listing AMEX Plat access to all the airport lounges worldwide.

got my citibank platinum card exactly in 1 hour time at Ikano.. fastest experience that i ever had..

used at lcct and they charged rm38 and void the transaction later on. they said it has to be in this way for now..

Malaysia's Amex Platinum card does offer international aiport lounge access outside of MAlaysia but can't remember the entire list. However, I think Maybank should bring the Malaysian Amex Platinum card up to the same level as other countries Amex Platinum card.

For example, if you have the UK Amex Platinum card, you are automatically given a Priority Pass Card for you as well as your supplementary cardholders which means your supplementary cardholder can access airport lounges worldwide on their own. On top of that, the UK Amex Platinum card's Priority Pass card allows you to bring in one guest free of charge! So you can bring in one guest, your supplementary cardholder can also bring in one guest to any of the Priority Pass lounges worldwide. Way better than Maybank's Amex Platinum Card or StanChart's Priority Pass or Alliance Banks Priority Pass cards!

Bro, any AMEX Plat with annual fee cannot compare lah with Alliance VI which is FOC with just RM30K (or less than USD10K) yearly spending and FOC for PB customers.

SCB VI, usually they waive the annual fee with just RM10K spending (that's what I was told by my previous RM).

AMEX Plat is truly a Prestigious card and for those who are not cheap skates like me, hahaha.

Actually you don't always have to pay annual fee for Amex Platinum charge card. Although it is not mentioned, they do waive annual fee for certain cardholders and offer special/reduced points redemption towards the annual fee also. So effectively you do get it free just by using it.

SCB VI is still given free to all Priority customers regardless of annual spend.

Amex Platinum card is not prestigious, the Centurion card is. Now that is one special card, made of metal, not plastic! They were going to launch it in Malaysia but now seem to be delayed.

Mind elaborating the requirements to qualify for the "certain cardholders" to get the annual fee waived for AMEX plat Charged Card? RM50K spending per year enough?

Hi audionutter,
Yup Yup. Please provide us more info about the "condition" of Amex Plat card members who will be wavied the annual fee. I also want to know.

I cancelled my amex plat cc, and charge card for maybank 2 cards

My wife has MBB infinite, but cannot bring guest ( me)
I have ctbank pm (but already used up 2 times).

Going bkk/chx in 2 weeks..! Jialat cannot go in LOUIS' TAVERN LOUNGE at BKK !!! ..

Bro call Maybank Marketing Centre tomorrow and ask them to issue you the Visa Infinite 2 weeks maybe just in time, but you got to follow up constantly. Then again MBB VI may be issued in time but not the PPL card.

RM50K spending a year is not even enough to qualify for the reduced points redemption for the annual fee.

Those who have Maybank Private Wealth Management investments exceeding 7 figures will have their annual fee waived and be invited for expression of interest in the Centurion Card.

Unfortunately, I am not in such a priviledged position and can only look in wonder at those that are....

So, for people like me, the FREE SCB VI and Alliance Bank VI not requiring one to have of more than 7 figures AUM with MBB way better than the no annual fee waiver (except for certain cardholder) AMEX Charge Card

And for those people exceeding 7 figures net worth, they would be flying Business or First Class which grants them access to the airline lounge anyway, so why would they be bothered with credit cards that give free access to airport lounge.

Actually, there are a lot of people with cash deposits of more than one million in Malaysia. Once when I was at a bank, the person ahead of me was discussing something and his current account balance was more than one million! Banker tried to get him to invest in something but he kept declining saying he prefers to keep it in current account even though interest was minimal!

So maybe not everyone with 7 figure sums would fly business or first class anyway? Especially when the ticket costs at least 3 or 4 times more than economy class?? Even with the one for one offer in business or first!

I remember reading an article that said ringgit millionaires very common and even US dollar millionaires in Malaysia is common. Certainly in my line of work I come across so many ringgit millionaires every day. I think we all wish we could be like them!

So yes, for ordinary people like us the Alliance Bank VI is good. Do you have to be a Premier/Priority customer or can you just apply for the VI?

Bro, you mentioned exceeding 7 figures, i.e. minimum 10,000,000. How many Malaysians have that kind of money with a particular bank.

RM1M net worth normal and I agree those who have only RM1M net worth would fly budget airline like Air Asia

For Alliance VI, minimum income requirement RM150K/year - that's the previous requirement for Platinum credit cards years ago

I believe Amex has tie up with multiple lounges all over the world especially on their plat card and above. And because Amex card do not carry Maybank logo and is a standard design, don't think those lounges with tie up to Amex will be able to differentiate. HK has been proven by pspfan. Don't have the listing on all the lounges though.

Think someone pointed out in Amex Malaysia website, the privilege of entering the lounges is no longer published. But my wife managed to enter LCCT lounge in July. Going to Chiang Mai via LCCT this month end and Bangkok via KLIA next month. So let me try out once again whether it is still valid.
