Hi, from what i understand currently AMEX is the only card that offers unlimited access to PPL KLIA, KLIA2, Penang and Kota Kinabalu right? I will be flying at least 4 times a month for the next 4 years, so i'm thinking to apply AMEX cc just for lounge entry purpose. At the moment i'm more keen to apply AMEX Krisflyer than platinum in view of cheaper annual fee (RM250 vs RM800, but fees waived for 1st year for both cards) even tho i won't be flying with SIA.

I have a few questions to AMEX card holders before i send in my application

1. unlimited PPL entry literally means.. unlimited right? I assume with the same card i will be able to enter say Penang PPL before departure and KLIA2 gateway after landing within the same day

2. there are no conditions for the unlimited lounge access? i.e. minimum spending. i've read thru the website t&c but didn't come across any related conditions. so far none of you were denied entry right? as i do not plan to do any significant swipes with amex, so spending will be minimal and i'm not sure if there will be a risk with that

3. AMEX card holders are entitled to unlimited GM meals right? I tried to browse all 26pages of this thread and realized that it wasn't consistent. Some managed to get complimentary meals, some got rejected, and later on some ppl still able to get free meals.    So i'm wondering what's the latest situation. I have a colleague who just went to GM 2 weeks ago and was shown the list of eligible cc and he told me that AMEX wasn't in the list. When asked about other cc (didn't specifically mention AMEX), the staffs there said that only those in the list will be entitled free meals from corporate menu.

4. Is there any way to waive amex annual fees for subsequent years? How long has been amex offering unlimited ppl access, and how often do they review their terms? hopefully they will retain this benefit for the longest time possible 

hope someone helpful can enlighten me about this matter, thank you in advance!

apply AEON Credit Card (jusco version), and AEON BIG credit card (carrefour version)
each give you 6 visits to PPL, total you will have 12.
then apply mbb visa signature, get another 5 visit.

total 17 enough?

LOL! thanks for your input 
if i'm not mistaken AEON charges RM100 annual fee right?
that's why after weighing the cons and pros i find that amex krisflyer is still the most practical cc for domestic frequent flyer, solely for lounge entry purpose. at least for 1st year we get unlimited access to all PPLs (for free, and without conditions) then we can decide on whether to keep the card for subsequent years (RM250 chargeable, still worthwhile imho if we're flying several times each month) but most likely by that time we already got bored of PPL

ah, i not sure about the Annual Fee.. but RM100 is small amt, should pay if you really need to use the lounge service..

Nope. Subsequent year must pay AF. Unless you take Green Charge Card, but no PPL access.

Aeon gold's AF is waived with 12x swipes, just fyi

last year i forget to swipe 12x, call to beg for waiver lo managed to get.

I swiped 11 times and I nearly forgot that my card was due for AF.
Quickly paid RM 1.00 to my Digi.

No need to call and beg.

I'm actually wondering... how do u ppl keep track of ur number of swipes over a year? 
like in cases say someone own multiple cards for other benefits (PPL?) yet rarely use, just need to swipe to fulfill the requirements each year
do u record every usage or refer to statement one by one

For Aeon card, the number of swipe you can refer to your statement

I don't but Aeon will list it out no. of transactions. x/12, you will see it on your statement.

last week first time tried to access ppl at klia2 after 4 yrs of holding UOB preferred platinum card.
Surprisingly they don't check past transaction for the my card as I remember there is t&c as below to access. 

"All you need to do is spend a minimum of RM500 per month in the past 3 months (for existing Cardmembers) or swipe a minimum RM500 within 60 days of card approval date for first time complimentary access (for new Cardmembers). "

wow! i must say it's so nice of them to include this stat in the statement 
sort of works like a reminder too

thanks for ur replies

Do PPL allow cardholder family members to go in together for free?
or only cardholder?

Can i use 4 cards for 3 members + myself....lol

I don't think is the ppl check. Is suppose bank to check whether u fulfill it. Else, they might imposed charges to u if u didn't fulfilled.

combination spending amount for both pri & sub?
or only primary card itself got to spend 500 per month in the past 3 months?

Anyone try to access opposite PPL called "Flight Club", its also under PPL...can share how is the food there? Last week i just have a look at outside, seem like nice environment, but food there need to order at counter With FOC.
