Just wondering, does the Citi Platinum grant access to the PPL PEN?

I need to go to US soon and will spend about 7 hours at Dubai International Airport. I am thinking of getting into the airport lounge.

Based on what I read, Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) and Alliance Bank Visa Infinite givens Priority Pass.

It is only 3 to 4 weeks away from my departure date.

Just want to find out once I apply the VI card from either SCB or Alliance, do I still need to apply the Priority Pass or will PP be sent together with the credit card?

I worry that I may not have enough time to the credit card and Priority Pass since I need to travel on the third week of January.

Any comment or advice?

Btw, May I know that starting Jan-2013, Citibank Platinum card holder still able to enter the KLIA's PPL ?

Until today I still not really utilize the MBB VI. Does the AF waivable ? This card is a invitation from MBB . My main usage still goes to 2 kard .

Yes, provided you need to sustain a RM50k (Corrected) spending per year on the card. FYI, for this card - the bank does not entertain any pleads to waive the AF.
To anyone who want the card but want the RM1K AF to be free then sorry ... this card is not for you.

dont know for SC and alliance, my PP from UOB and CIMB infinite, i got the 2 cards within 3 weeks.

Baiyun Int Airport allows the 2 PP to be used, one for myself, another for my son. UOB PP allows 6x FOC a year, CIMB PP unlimited access.

I do have a usage of more than 100k annually but it's only my 2 Kard. Only if the merchant doesn't accept Amex then the usage will be diverted to VI. Hm.. Will try if not will cancel the card .

It's RM50K for MBB VI and RM120K for MBB WMC.

MBB revised the MBB WMC AF qualifier to RM100K starting this year. There was a mass mailer sent out to all customers.

Yes, my bro and sis just went in yesterday

Hi all,
I got the Std Ctd Business Platinum. (just notice this feature has been suspended for this card. Same question to any other card with access to lounge.)
My partner need to go oversea. Can I pass the card to him so that he can use the card to enter the lounge? Will they check the name on the card against your passport?
BTW, we are not going together.

thanks.

It is against the rules to pass your card to someone else

And they normally check boarding pass. So unless your card name is nearly the same....

Yup agreed. It may even look like the fella stole the card and might get a friend visit from the cops.
So, @ZONX ... please don't be too charitable (or a smart alec for even thinking to do such) and ask your friend not to be cheap or risk getting into trouble with the cops.

from my reading in this thread, the best card to enter PPL in LCCT and Senai is american express krissflyer rite?
i dun travel oversea, but i fly from kl to jb every week

Heard from HSBC manager that they have started PPL (KLIA) for their Premier World Master Card beginning from this year. Any confirmation eg. sighting on the PPL banner in KLIA? AEON Card has also start giving 6x per year (not sure if it's priority pass or just PPL-KLIA).

I have always been trying to get into these lounge but was unsuccessful...In LCCT Premium Lounge, quota always full for my OUB Platinum, and my trip to Korea, I went to KLIA Lounge and cant remember which card I present...AMBANK Platnium or AEON Gold..I was told I can go in, but there is a condition...That is I must charged USD3000 in my card oversea, otherwise, they will charge RM180 (if not mistaken) to my card. Sad!

Thank for the confirmation on KLIA..

LCCT PPL lounge access benefit for Citibank Platinum and PremierMiles has been withdrawn effective 1 November 2012.
