GREEN MARKET MENU FOR THOSE WHO ENTER FOR FREE WITH CREDIT CARDS

Those of us who have credit cards that allow us FREE entries to Plaza Premium Lounges at KLIA2, well, you may be able to eat for FREE at Green Market at KLIA Departure Hall (landside) too. I tell you, the coffee is freaking good. Bad news for those of you who only holds the Priority Pass Membership Card – you don’t get to eat for FREE at Green Market, hahaha. Next time you in KLIA 2, just drop by Green Market and see if your credit cards allows you FREE makan


Click here to read my article Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1 Skyview Lounge where I entered for FREE with the Priority Pass Membership Card. If you fly with Air Asia, then you may get to visit the Skyview Lounge for FREE with the Priority Pass Membership Card

If you had read my Credit Card Showdown 2015 - Malaysia's Best Top 10 Credit Cards, of course the Maybank 2 Cards Premier (with UNLIMITED FREE entries to local Plaza PremiumLounges nationwide PLUS 5X FREE entries to airport lounges worldwide) came out as the clear winner. The FREE FOR LIFE AMBank World MasterCard together with the AmBank Visa Infinite credit cards managed to be ranked No.6 and their Bonus Points conversion rate to Enrich Miles is competitive versus Maybank 2 Cards for overseas face to face spending. One major disadvantage of the AMBank WMC and VI is that they only earn you 1X Bonus Point for online transactions anywhere on planet earth.

Bro, not only is AMBank Forex competitive as shown by VergonDC, their "Cash Back" is also pretty good compared to Maybank's Visa (now even better with recent inflated program).

What finally? You spamming as usual, hahahahaha.

Bro, you just spam everywhere in this CC section with general comments (single line statement with few words without much details that give insights). Your earlier post is considered spamming as it has no substance. Seriously, I feel like closing the Maybank Ikhwan MasterCard Thread because I keep getting notices that there are replies and it's mainly from your spamming

Bro, you want to take over the Maybank Ikhwan MasterCard Thread? I go close it and you start new thread and can go spam all you want.

Will amend it as you command.

Will also revise to state that MBB VS Supp card can enter for FREE as reconfirmed maskedchan and Human Nature plus zenquix confirmation that MBB VI Supp Card can enter for FREE which is freaking good news for me as I have 3 VI Supp cards.

Sis, for cards that do not come with Priority Membership Card - FREE FOR LIFE AmBank World MasterCard or Visa Infinite Check out link below:

To learn more about AmBank World MasterCard - click here to read VergonDC's review at my blog.

Also adding to Post#1 my First and Last review of the Hong Leong Bank Visa Infinite where it comes with Priorty Pass Membership Card. Also added HLB MATTA to Post #1.

Bro, for CIMB cards without needing invitation, e.g. VS and WMC/VI, like maskedchan mentioned, need certain amount of spending to get subsequent year free entries.

However, CIMB exclusive cards like their CIMB Visa Infinite i comes with Priority Pass Membership Card that grants UNLIMITED entries., but it order to qualify for it, you need to have income RM1M. I did do a mini review of the CIMB Visa Infinite i back in 2013 in my article Credit Card Ultimate Showdown 2014 where it only managed to earn itself 6 Stars versus Maybankard 2 Cards 12 Stars, hahaha.



Another exclusive CIMB credit card is their CIMB Enrich World MasterCard which grants you 2 X FREE entries to MAS Golden Lounge but in order to get the annual fee waived in full, one needs to spend RM500K!

You are absolutely right!

What I think? I need to go add it post No.1 and inform the rest of the world thru my Facebook/blog of your incredible finding

Keep all as long as they are FREE FOR LIFE. The moment RHB refuse to waive your annual fee, terminate it

I have more than 10 cards and never have any issues before in respect to CCRIS report But I have no outstanding loans for years.

It's not how many cards you have but your total exposure to credit. I know a person who owns a factory, earns more than RM200K p.a. But because she bought an industrial lot worth more than RM1M on loan, CIMB rejected her WMC application!

OT - Bro, nowadays common to see guys carrying girls' handbag Long wallet for gents have been available for ages. If you carry a sling bag, long wallet not an issue.

Thank you Sir for the above, added it to Post#1 few days back so all can get to enjoy FREE Japanese food thanks to you


Bro, what you share with us are always informative and you back them up with emails. It is just that you info (at time of posting) is so advance that none have tried it out


I did post pictures of both PPL at Gateway and Gate L in my article FREE Entries to KLIA2 Plaza Premium Lounges.

Food at Gateway okay and more selection. Once I happened to go before noon, midway they change the menu (breakfast to lunch) so I get to taste more food, hahaha. Napping to got to pay but shower no.

Massage at PPL WEllness Spa at International Departure also not free and it not full body massage. If you want real massage, there is another outlet beside it and it's not FREE so I have never entered it. All you get FREE here is some snacks as mentioned by others. I have never bothered to enter it as I spend most of my time only at Gateway before I enter immigration and straight to the boarding gate.

Gate L - one member did complained previously the food was lousy. But I did go there once and that day got a Chef cooking "low si fan" on demand and I was kind of happy. However the place really cramp. Actually, I went to the PPL gateway before I enter the PPL at L Gate. SO basically, you can go to both lounges (but of course I have many cards that offer me FREE entries).


hahaha, you helped him to tag me. And you are right, I need to update my article mentioned above since now that Wellness Spa also have some snacks. And thank you for the kind words Bro.

I'm flying to Penang tomorrow for a day trip, must go check out the Domestic PPL Lounge, where it is exactly - after I get out from the taxi, where do I go?

Looks nice.

AMBank is actually more generous than Maybank since their cards are ALL FREE FOR LIFE

Good luck in your application.

To ALL:

I'll be flying AirAsia (paying in full where it only cost me just RM20 more if I were to use my Big Shot points to redeem + cash, flew to Melbourne more than 10 times with AA but still do not have even enough Big Shot points to redeem a one way ticket to Penang Big Shot points really useless as far as earning from flying ). Anyway, I wonder if I get to be at Gate L tomorrow, if yes, I will update you guys on the food. And maybe also go check out Green Market and see which of my cards can enter for FREE.

Yes Sir, will try it maybe for dinner when back in KLIA2. I passed the place so many times but never bothered to ask.

I always just go to Gateway and then after makan play my ipad and facetime my wife with the FREE wifi., hahaha. Then before I leave, will take a can of coke and go smoke

But you know what, maybe we should delete all reference to Green Market here because if the banks know we can suka suka go there makan for FREE without flying (say picking up), then sure they will stop this privilege.

Okay, I will omit it from Post#1 and those who take the trouble the read the posts in this thread will then only benefit..... pity the guy when this thread goes to like 100 pages in 1 or 2 years time and he starts reading from last page , hahahaha. That is why I hate when people spam making threads long and takes forever to read.

And to allow time for the regulars here to read the earlier posts in full.... next week onwards I shall edit my posts and refer it to GM instead. bearbear suggest you do it too so google won't pick it up

I also better not mention it in my blog, let it be a "secret" for LYN members only . Unless I can come up with a secret coded message for my blog readers, hahaha.

hahahaha, it works, i.e. the GM thingy and I have deleted the reference in Post#1. Bro, to benefit from all members' postings, please read previous posts before asking next time

This post has been edited by Gen-X: Jun 24 2015, 10:40 PM

What?! Now 12X only. But I guess that's fine with me because average I fly once a month.

MBB Visa Signature also downgraded to 12X.

Question - how about Supp Cards? 12X Free entries combine with Principal or they also get 12X on itself?


Bro, I went to GM today, the coffee freaking good and got basic coffee art like KLIA PPL.

Report -

1. PPL@Gateway, Wellness Spa and at Gate L - now ALL accept Priority Pass Membership Card and credit card.

2. For CIMB VI where they give you voucher - must show boarding pass because PPL need to make a copy as proof to CIMB! However the CIMB VI i just need to show card, no need boarding pass.

3. GM - Priority Pass Membership Card not accepted! BUT, you can enter with MBB VI (including Ikwan VI and MU VI) and VS, RHB VI and Plat, AmBank so many of them. HLB VI, Business Card, VS and AEON Gold Credit Cards too!!!

fruitie, go try with your AEON.

This post has been edited by Gen-X: Jun 26 2015, 01:27 AM

Now you make me not sure about AEON Gold - there were so many AEON Cards shown in the list.... I did not specifically check one by one. No harm trying.

Bro, since Green Market does not accept Priority Pass Membership Card and that now MBB VI and VS limited to 12X, I guess no harm talking about Green Market openly, hahahaha.

Yah, as bearbear mentioned you get to choose either tea or coffee. I will post up the menu in my blog soon.
