Well, that contradicts the Delighful Privileges brochure.

I did call EON Bank to reconfirm and the CS informed that Platinum credit cards do not enjoy UNLIMITED access to KLIA, LCCT, Senai and Changi but LIMITED and he can't tell me the quota but instead asked me to check with Plaza Premium Lounge  doh.gif

Hong Leong is taking over EON Bank. All EON cards will eventually become "history".

For those who qualify this might be worth keeping, HAHA.

KLIA PPL yes, but no where it is stated that can get 12 times to LCCT PPL.
*
From what I was told, Premier Miles comes with 12 free access(2 hours) to PPL at KLIA and LCCT per year. The Priority Pass can be used in Overseas Lounge for two free access. There will be a charge of RM90(5 hours) for using Priority Pass at PPL Malaysia.

400 quota for UOB Pref Plats.. but... do you think the 400 quota will be used up in the first week? Cause 400 quota looks little.
*
for UOB Prefered Plat free access to Plaza Premium Lounge KLIA, LCCT & Senai (subject to monthly access quota of first 400 shared equally among the 3 lounges). Normally fully taken up in the 1st week.

Access is stated clearly for CiTi PM principal cardmembers only. So consider yourself lucky =)
*
If I remember correctly the 12 complementary lounge accesses are shared by both the principal and supplementary card members per calendar year.


Heard that PPL is going to open at Langkawi Airport.

Does this condition "Use of PriorityPass to access PPL at KLIA lounges will incur a charge of RM90" applies to LCCT and Senai PPLs?

that's because all Ex-EON credit cards are not HLB cards. But the MATTA card have monthly quota.

Were you trying to say:

that's because all Ex-EON credit cards are NOW HLB cards

The answer to Q2 is no
- Priority Pass grants privilege to the cardholder (on the P.Pass). You can bring in anyone to any lounge that accept P.Pass in the world but charges apply.
*
This info on the PP application form says otherwise:

Priority Pass™ Membership*
As a Principal Citibank PremierMiles Cardmember who applies
to become a member of Priority Pass™, you will be entitled to 2
complimentary visits per calendar year. Please note that if you
bring a guest, your guest’s visit will count as 1 visit.

if i have SCB plat, Citi plat and UOB preferred plat (no privileged word), can i pass to my friend to enter with me?
previously when i entered KLIA PPL, the person check my IC vs name on card. but i read here that some have succeeded. means they dont check name anymore?
*
I think UOB prefered plat card no longer provide free access to PPL.

True, SCB VI is excellent for airport lounge access. But for people who don't fly often and deposit money in 12 months FD, UOB offering 3.6-3.7% interest for the past 1 year; and that's like 0.5% higher than SCB rate of 3.15%, so one would be losing out more than RM1K/year considering the fact one needs RM250K with SCB. Then again, one does not necessary needs to deposit RM250K with SCB to get their VI.

The moment OCBC and UOB stop their FD promos, I am going back to SCB, hahaha.
*
Bro, any reason why you are not considering Bank Rakyat which has higher interest rates?

BTW, I think CITI VS card still the best for Local Airports' Lounge access.

One final confirmation, if I own both the Citibank Platinum and PremierMiles which each granting free access to LCCT PPL, I can bring another guest free of charge right?
*
You can also apply for the free Priorty Pass which grants you two accesses to PPL/other international-approved lounges. You can use these 2 free accesses for your guests.

I had the same idea too, but this is the repply I got from Citibank. Somehow it is strange because Priority Pass from other card can enter PPL LCCT without charges.
*
I have not used Priority Pass at the LCCT's PPL but according to GenX you can use it, as stated in his blog:

http://generationsxyz.blogspot.com/2012/02...za-premium.html

I have just called the CITI CS and according to him I can only use the Priority Pass for overseas airports.

I have used it at the KLIA LCCT airport. They will need you to present the priority pass card and let you sign on the charge slip. For MBB Priority/VISA Infinite they will charge you after the 5th use/year anywhere where Priority Pass card is accepted.
*
You mean you used the PriorityPass card issued with CITI PremierMiles Card at the PPL LCCT , signed on the charge slip but not charged any amount?
When was that, this year?
You used it for yourself or guest?
Very eager to know as I need to use it in ten days time.Thanks in advance.

By end of 2012, there will be a PPL at Penang airport. Next year two more PPL at KK and Kuching airport. Hopefully there will be a card that provide complimentary accesses to all PPL in Malaysia.

haha, finally HSBC Premier World MasterCard can enjoy FREE drinks at KLIA.

Anyway, below taken from MAHB website:

[i]Aside from the contest MasterCard provides exclusive MasterCard lounges at KLIA. World MasterCard cardholders will be able to access this exclusive lounge to rest and relax upon presenting their World MasterCard branded card at the registration counter.

Do supplementary cardholders of SCB Preferred World MasterCard enjoy this benefit too or only for principle cardholder ?

Bro, good question in regards to the Supp card. This lounge is by MasterCard and not by PPL the way I understand it.

Could only find PPL and airline-owned lounges at the KLIA satellite building, based on KLIA website(maybe not updated).

For all we know, it might just be a "temporary" lounge during the campaign period. Just have to wait for someone to update us.

Now that Citibank going to stop providing complementary access to PPL for PremierMiles & Platinum cardholders, I need to start looking for a replacement. Will go thru your blog on this matter , hope it is uptodate.

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.

Then time to get the AMEX Platinum Credit Card, first year annual fee is waived. Now the income requirement is RM60Kpa. ** Edited** Supp card also can enter LCCT for FREE.

or Kris Flyer, chances of annual fee waiver higher since it is a gold card. 1st year annual fee also waived.

Thanks Bro, will consider that.

I made an inquiry to Citibank whether there is any future plan to allow Premier Miles gain access to PPL at LCCT again, and below is the excerpt:
Interesting.

My PremierMiles card is due for renewal next month (after 2 years) and I have been thinking of cancelling it. This is the very reason I will keep it. Thank you so much.

Receive the new PP card to replace the 2 year-old card without reapplying. At the same time receive an sms asking me to use 2000 PM points to redeem for the GST. But no mention of annual fee, guess I have to call the CS for waiver.

Thanks for sharing. Do you consider yourself actively using the card?  biggrin.gif

If we have used up the 2x access, do we get another 2x access with the new card (same year)?  hmm.gif

My last year spending for PM is ~rm10000. PP usage is based on calendar year. My previous PP is valid for year 2011 & 2012. The new card is for 2013 & 2014 and 2 complementary accesses per calendar year.
I have just called the CS to redeem the Govt Tax using 2000 PremierMiles Points. He also approve the waiver of the annual fees.
