Best in so far as there's no conditions attached for the free lounge access.  Otherwise, CCs that extends lounge access via Priority Pass opens up a whole range of other lounges besides PPLs |

Yes, Priority Pass will be another separate discussion which banks hardly give these days.

Most banks offer 1 for 1 dining at 50% off = you plus a partner only.
AmBank 1 for 1 is up to 2 pax = you + partner, and 2nd person + partner. So u can go up to 4 pax for 50% off. Totally worth it! |

Greetings to every Sifu-sifu sekalian, I'd like to inquire more about the AmBank Bonuslink Visa Gold card as I plan to get 1 in the next 3 months or so. Hopefully someone can enlighten me here:
Has anyone been using it as off now? Is the point earning mechanism worthy compared to other similar range/category cards from other credit institutions? As far as I can see, the 5x complimentary PPL (Local + International), on top of 500k travel insurance seems pretty interesting for me. To bring that even further to the good side, it has 10x bonuslink points, though I don't really get the 2 points from 2 parties part. Thank you so much in advance! |

Thank you so much for pointing out on this. Perhaps I missed out on the fine prints on the PPL access. Looks like no PPL access for me then. But on the bright side, if I do upgraded (maybe x years later) then I'll finally have acccess  Meanwhile I'll try to look for another from Ambank that has close to such privilege. Their international PPL access is truly mouthwatering! |

Well, 120k is the minimum requirement and it is entirely up to the bank to approve or not even meeting the requirement.Just got my increment and meet min income requirement. Waiting for my 3 months payslip to try applying. Based on feedback here, I don't think it is difficult to be approved. |

Regardless, the spending criteria has been removed already since last year's May, now it is 2x access without any condition. |

Thanks for reply.Regardless, the spending criteria has been removed already since last year's May, now it is 2x access without any condition. I think im abit confused here. The full statement is. Flash your CARz Platinum Mastercard for instant global access to the luxurious world of Plaza Premium Lounges in more then 17 international airport with just 3 overseas transaction within 30 days before of after you lounge visit. This is not referring to the 2x access? So conclusion is; 1. the card come with 2x access without any condition 2. if you swipe 3 overseas transaction then you can get free lounges access on top of the 2x access is it correct? |
