I wondered if there is a lot of difference between KLIA Plaza Premium & MAS Golden lounges?

MAS lounge is nicer but too bad they dont accept economy class passenger like me  sad.gif ...  no walk in allowed... so Plaza is my only choice beside all the other restaurant...

You only need to attain Enrich Silver & above, then join their Golden lounge access programme. But of course, one need to pay for it though.

sad to say i cant seem to be able to find ANY access to international lounges for AMEX platinum credit card.

it seems to mention that benefit for AMEX platinum CHARGE card aka The Platinum Card® which seems to have a requirement of RM190,000 min annual income
*
It is not that tough to get the AMEX Plat charge card these days since MBB AMEX department is constantly offering pre-approved on such premium cards. The only main concern should be the hefty annual fees.

Annual fee:
RM2380

Minimum annual income:
RM190,000

hefty annual fees SHOULDN'T be a problem ....... IF (a very BIG if) you probably spend alot on the card and make prompt payments. they SHOULD waive it if u request. but not sure whether i can spend that much on so many credit cards.

The AMEX Plat charge card is notorious for not waiving annual fees unless you are a high spender of over RM 100k annually (quoted from MBB AMEX dept officer who offer me the pre-approved card). Same goes with the MBB WMC.

Maybe any members here managed to get it waived at a much lower spending annually can share with us.

Just tried SCB VI (without showing the priority pass) at KLIA Plaza Premium & guess what? They do not regconise the SCB VI & said it is not entitled.

thanks for sharing, I guess the ultimate airport card in malaysia can't get in by itself.

ben83, don't you have MBB WMC? Why go PPL?

Never took up the Golden lounge package though (at additional RM 500 annual fees)...

American Express Platinum charge card and platinum supplementary card get unlimited free access to Plaza Premium lounge in KLIA but not sure about LCCT.
*
Confirmed both AMEX Plat (without MBB logo) charge & credit card (including supplementary) can access both PPL KLIA & LCCT.

That explains the exorbitant annual fees

yah, the best SCB Infinite, but I dont have, SCB FD rates damn low sad.gif

EON Bank VS and Citibank PremierMiles also comes with Priority Pass but limited to 3 and 2 free passes respectively.
*
Not necessarily FD, other investment related also considered.

I believe loan at certain amount also qualifies PB.

Should not be a problem? I tried to waived 2 of my citibank CC which RM600 each this year, both successfully waived.

Roughly how much you spent annually on each Citibank cc?

Some additional info on the SCB VI's Priority Pass. It seems if you have deposit or investment of RM 500k & above under your Priority Banking account, you can request additional Priority Pass for your SCB VI supplementary holder as well.

ben83, few questions
1. Are you saying need to deposit RM500K to get a supp card or with RM250K deposit still can get the VI?
2. SCB VI also get unlimited access Priority Pass card?
3. Any idea if the following years Annual Fee will be waived if I don't use the card.
*
1. Supplementary card can be applied (but without Priority Pass) even if you open PB account with the minimum RM 250k. The RM 500k and above amount is for the supplementary card to get its Priority Pass card.

2. Yes should be unlimited but never really tested it enough since I am not a heavy traveller.

3. This one I am not exactly sure if you never use the card, but SCB VI AF should be waived as long as you retain as PB customer.

I have CIMB Visa Signature supplementary, can I enter the Plaza Lounge?
do we just show card or have some king of pass?
*
CIMB VS comes with 2 complementary passes/vouchers to KLIA PPL. You need to use one voucher for each entry, not by showing the CIMB VS. So ask your principal card holder to share one voucher with you.

Citibank plat card can virtually access any lounge even at the Dubai airport.

From the first post when Amex plat credit card, does it apply to the Maybank2 Amex card?
*
Can you explain further on this? I can't remember seeing this as a feature in Citibank Plat cc. Thus far I only know it allow access to KLIA PPL & lately there are reports on successfully accessing LCCT PPL too.
