Premium corner offers cardholders a place to relax before their flights

MASTERCARD Worldwide recently launched the MasterCard Premium Corner at KLIA.

Located in the satellite terminal, the first-ever MasterCard Premium Corner is exclusively for World MasterCard and MasterCard Premium cardholders to rest and relax before departing on their journey. In addition, MasterCard cardholders will be kept up to date on the latest promotions and news. With comfortable seating areas, free Wi-Fi, refreshments and numerous iPads at their service, cardholders can be assured that their wait at the airport will not be a tedious one.

MasterCard Worldwide Malaysia and Brunei vice-president and senior country manager Jim Cheah said, “MasterCard is delighted to present the Premium Corner for our cardholders to get themselves organised and relaxed before flying off.

“As part of our efforts to continually provide special privileges to cardholders, we hope they will appreciate this exclusive premium corner. It also provides us with a channel to convey the latest privileges and benefits available to our cardholders.”

I am still trying to find the contact number for Mastercard Malaysia to enquire about sup cardholder accessing this facility but no luck.

Was in LCCT Lounge this morning while waiting to board to Phuket. Staff told me Citibank is one of the biggest customer for LCCT lounge itself.

Average 2,000-3,000 CiTibank card memebers visit the lounge.

No wonder... Citibank decide to cancel the Plaza Premium Lounge LCCT service

Haha.. Damage control mode. Looks like I'm gonna be using my Citi PM for the last time at LCCT this month.

There are still many cards to gain access to low cost terminal, such as infinite card with priority pass, rhb card 4 per year.

Yea. Guess I'll have to use my Amex Plat and SCB VI from November onwards. And I'll have to bring one less guest with me

is citi Platinum cardholders still can access into LCCT PPL?

The answer is above your post.

No. Effective 1 November 2012, both Citi PremierMiles and Citi Platinum no longer grant free access to LCCT Plaza Premium Lounge.

Maybe he asked because the immediate few posts above specifically mentioned only the Citi PM.

Received an offer from UOB agent for their Preferred Plat card with the PPL (KLIA, LCCT, Senai & Langkawi) benefit still intact. Double asked the agent and she verified with her boss that its there.

Anyone can vouch otherwise on their recent visit to these PPL? Their follow up email also contains attached pamphlet as ref.

With Citi PM/Plat no more LCCT PPL free entry benefit & SCB Plat only offer KLIA PPL, its worth to consider this card since it comes with RM50 rebate to offset GST plus waiver for 2 years annual fee. Anyone ?

No mention of it at all at the bank's website. Maybe you can try sending an email to PPL LCCT.

u can consider amex platinum credit card. supp card allowed to enter PPL too.. i just confirmed at LCCT PPL today

Even better, confirmed with UOB Plat CS this instant that for new to bank customers which Preferred Plat card approved from July till Dec 2012, are entitled for 2x ONLY free entry to all the PPL in Msia until July 2013. Just swipe 3x within 60 days from the approval date.

This is entirely new promotion for new to bank customer. However not that good attractive since we have other options to consider.

Already applied, pending approval. However its been 3 weeks+ but no update from the CS yet. Awaiting gud news, finger crossed.

Previously, the non Privilege Banking UOB Preferred Plat access to LCCT Plaza Premium Lounge got monthly quota and it does finish pretty quick.

Up to last month the Preferred Plat did offer a promotion where if you spend RM2K in August and September, they will give you 2 FREE access to PPL.

So, if the Preferred Plat can enter LCCT PPL for FREE, why have the above promo? Hope this question answers your question

This was mentioned by b00n previously.

Edited**

Just read the above, I guess with this promo, there should not be any quota imposed.

As for the AMEX plat application, call 1800 88 9559 and check the status.

Hi, I am a Citi Platinum Card holder. Interested to know if the KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge is accessible for domestic travelling? Thank you.

No, the PPL at KLIA is located at the Satellite Building and is only accessible to passengers traveling on international flights.

Thanks for the info.

You are welcome.

Can i ask, how to get the Priority pass for citi pm card?
Do the priority pass come with expiry date?

THanks
