the so called premium card - maybank visa infinite has only 5 trips to priority pass lounges
yet is requires an annual income of 180k?
i better go with citi prestige anytime

can! tried and it works.
not sure about about sharing and combining cards like how uncle xyz does (when there are multiple patrons), but i have used the same PP card to check in to many lounges on the same day with the same boarding pass.
i even went in and out of the same lounge several times, when my statement came out, nothing was charged.
in total i have used PP for about 35 times this year, i really love PP!

that is very strange! which airport is this? they do not do so at SIN for both lounges.

no offence but who on earth pays annual fees for this type card?
oh wait...there's you

get a waiver dude, unless you only charge rm100 a year, then you don't need a credit card.

this is malaysia
for most credit cards they go by "ini semua boleh bincang"
do not despise a card just because you have to pay for the 2nd year.

remember you're not raising a pet and unless your card number ends with 8888, just cancel the card the 2nd year if you don't qualify for the waiver and move on with life.

seriously! don't be a whinny person.

seriously, banks are more interesting in your credit history that you can spend tens or hundreds of thousands and can pay them back timely compared to if you earn RM 1M or not.

welcome

plaza premium in nothing to shout about. especially the one in KLIA is very crowded.
you get some beers, nothing more premium than that, some mixed rice type of food with some pasta and ice cream.
...and there's a coffee machine that's it. again, sometimes i just wished i came later and header straight to the boarding gate.

nope, you need a boarding pass.
don't worry there are enough people qualifying entry to plaza premium to make it super packed, so they really don't need your help to come in for relaxation without a flight to catch. just being sarcastic

do they waive GST and annual charges?
what are the conditions?

for plaza premium yes, this is true, been there done that. you are right. they don't really care.
but nowadays even though some of my CIMB cards allow access to these lounges, I prefer to use PP, more classy and simple. don't want to flash credit cards unnecessarily.

actually the list is super outdated
the CIMB card i mentioned was
http://www.cimbbank.com.my/creditcard/inde...c&pg=cc_lu&ac=2

btw let's be frank here, the thread says "Airport Lounges"
we are speaking too much only about Plaza Premium which is only good for instant noodles and beer.

let's talk about other nice and fancy lounges across the world, like business class lounges which you can gain excess to via PP

that is very very strange
mind sharing more details?
can i confirm we are referring to unlimited priority pass (that comes free with the CIMB card above)

plaza premium lounges (in malaysia and overseas) accept priority pass regardless of destination.
so to say they do not allow entry is not correct - after all plaza premium is one of the very much lower end lounge operator for PP category.

why would a lower end lounge decline your higher end card - when they are already a PP network lounge?
it does not matter you're flying local or international.
unless you did some naughty naughty there.
i even used PP to check in to a lounge in a different terminal building, and i was allowed.

anyway, what i was trying to say is that we should post more on other overseas lounges are not part plaza premium
so of them are lounges business and first class passenger which are also partners of priority pass.
not everyday plaza premium plaza premium plaza premium - there's nothing to talk about

i would be more delighted if genxyz can share with us how many champagnes he sipped in these lounges
at least there's a story to tell
agreed?

mana ada? why you want classic card?
24k can get nicer cards
below that you get no cards
so classic card is no longer relevant

gold card = 21st century classic card
there are no more classic cards
nescafe classic still available though

none, get a non annual fee card and try to get a waiver
then there are plenty which gives you free access to KLIA and LCCT

just had time to reply to your post
yeah but i think you're mislead into thinking you have to be rich to get it - cause i am not
i just had some investments there and know someone who works there - no big deal actually
anyway the card is quite useless actually BOTH for its privileges and cashback/points
the only thing is the wow factor. like wow you get invitation only card.
anyway i got a letter asking me to renew my foreign currency deposits to retain my card
i am gonna say fark you and return the card at end of the tenure.

okay lah may need to rephrase- it was not too up to date in march-but now okay already
anyway your blog is still the MOST up to date in malaysia for malaysian credit cards STILL okay?
anyway i found out that for some reason you do not seem to like the prestige card. i am not sure why.
you barely speak about it. only a sentence or 2 in your whole blog.
although other banks also give me unlimited priority pass, citibank is the only bank that offers me for almost free.
not annual fees, no GST, no nothing. and their customer service is not bad.

wow there are many dupes? i remember you as genxyz due to your URL.
that's why i called you genxyz. lol

yeah that's quite an adventure. i removed some of the quoted text as your adventure is too long .
yes i agree with you in some of these points.
my point is simply that it has been exciting that in some countries where with PP you can get into business class lounges for cheaper airlines with priority pass - one of them is at the singapore airport.


i am sorry to hear that. but it is true, perfectly true that in many PP airport lounges they are only as good as instant noodles and soft drinks. but i also heard you travel business/first class often. i have seen extremely awesome business class lounges - especially the ones where first class and business class share the same lounge in smaller airports. okay i would try to share pics the next time. i normally share it on FB. i have to plan it such way that i don't expose too much unneeded details in a public forum like this by not posting the same batch of pics.

btw if for any reason you're hinting on the etihad or emirates lounge which are as big as carrefour(or now know as aeon big) - yeah they are good but not as good as the smaller wants some bars are better without bartenders. get the hint?
