Were you referring to Alliance Bank Platinum Debit Card for Alliance Personal customers?

I thought the minimum deposit is RM50,000? There were afew times when my deposit fell below RM50,000, the bank sent me warning letters and would charge me a monthly penalty of RM25 if I did not top up the deposit.

I guess the card you received is a temporary card. They will issue you a new card with your name embossed on it.

no. mine is alliance platinum debit card for current account.

i just went to alliance and told them i want to open acc to get debit plat card. they said min deposit rm20k.

there is no min balance need to maintain, just rm12 annual fee for the atm (plat debit) card - this is what the bank officer told me.

i think they just gave me 'basic' current accout? coz no bank book and no cheque option.
got the plat card, deposit cash rm30k at counter, wait a while, then got slip (for atm pin number).

when i went to atm to change pin, i checked the balance, rm12 already deducted.


Added on April 22, 2011, 2:59 pmalliancebank first time login (online banking registration) need to wait 24 hours after set the internet pin at ATM (dunno why sweat.gif)

i will tell here what is my account type after i can register online banking tomorrow ~


Added on April 22, 2011, 3:17 pmbtw, if refer to alliancebank website for platinum debit mastercard:

Issuance Format : Un embossed
Distribution : Instant issuance at Branches

Hi there guys and Gen-X,

As a response to Erry's post - as well as the unsure-ness of everyone regarding Alliance Bank Platinum Credit Card - I can 100% confirm YES you can enter the KLIA Premium Lounge UNLIMITED times.

I just went there last Wednesday. Its totally free with my Alliance Bank Platinum Credit Card (NOT DEBIT). And i also asked them how many times I can enter - and they said unlimited.

Please do not call the Alliance Bank Helpline - it is totally USELESS - in fact, they themselves are confused and unsure of their own policies. If you do want confirmation, give a call to KLIA Premium Lounge - they would know better since they are the ones who are accepting the cards!

Best regards
*
yes i know alliance plat credit is unlimited access, but to klia only.

starting this year i might no longer go to klia, only lcct. since alliance credit cant access lcct lounge, thats why i terminate it and change to debit plat laugh.gif

QUOTE(winner @ May 6 2011, 09:11 PM)
For nomal Hybrid Account with Alliance Platinum debit card, you do not need to maintain RM20,000 in your account.

I have just changed my "Alliance Personal" Platinum debit card to normal Alliance Platinum debit. No minimum deposit is required. So I have withdrawn all money from my Hybrid Account and leave a token RM100 in the account.

This card is accepted at both KLIA and LCCT Plaza Premium Lounges, as long as it is Alliance Platinum debit card.
I totally agree that most of the Alliance customer service staff do not even know the products and features offered by their bank. It is wasting time to call Alliance hotline.
*
err... not just customer service staff, even branch staff also sweat.gif

i ask my wife to go open the hybrid acc to get debit plat mc, the staff dont even know about the card, and the min req of rm20k! sweat.gif

if u noticed, all the credit card that can access the lounge got ANNUAL fee.

but certain card got condition to waived the annual fee.
except for CIMB VS (CIMB dont offer annual fee card, but ur annual income must be rm100k, and next year can enter again only if u spent rm100k this year).

as for mbb2 plat, its free for life and the req for annual income is rm60k only, easy to get - so the lounge will be full? laugh.gif

I will transit in HK end of June, looking at the first page the easiest for me to get access to HK lounge is Citibank Premier Miles because I have this citibank platinum cash back. I just worry about the fees whether I entitle for first year waiver with 3 swipes since I already have another card with them

should be entitled. call them to confirm smile.gif

It is capped at 50 pax per month. You are lucky, as Alliance customers base is not as big as other banks.

Yes, they do write down the numbers and sometimes the person manning the counter will ask to see boarding pass. It depends on who is manning the counter I suppose.
*
in my case @ lcct, since alliance plat debit mastercard is un-embossed card, so the staff ask for the boarding pass (to see the name, not the flight time) laugh.gif

QUOTE(winner @ May 28 2011, 11:35 PM)
As for LCCT Plaza Premium Lounge, there are 2 wings, which are located inside and outside the check-in boarding hall respectively. The counter staff will still check your boarding pass. I normally enter the lounge inside, in order to catch the fight on time.
*
inside only for international flights. if local flights then can just enter the outside one.

To me, benefit of these 2 cards sucks. Furthermore, complimentary airport lounge access is not my main criteria for card selection.

yea, all other card that can access lcct lounge, got annual fee (but can waived if meet t&c) and no other benefits like alliance 1.5% cashback sweat.gif

Not 100% correct,  PB issued cards like Alliance Premier Debit Card, Citibank Plat, RHB Platinum, UOB Plat FREE AF and grants you free access to LCCT PPL.

PB need to have 200k with the bank. i dont want that (ok maybe thats just me).

UOB Preferred Plat can only visit lounge 1 time per month (thats why i cancelled this card sweat.gif) besides have quota 400/month.
