Using FD pledge Visa Infinite cc, do we still need to maintain min of RM50,000 per annum to have annual fees waiver?

Yes , minimum spending is a must

Ambank has no more access to the land side lounges...which means no access flying domestic in KLIA2....

HSBC VS can enter any PPL at KLIA2? Anyone tried enter this card?

Only KLIA.

Ya, too bad just found out this today when I was there, so need to use my AEON card instead. Wasted my effort to spend RM500 with it last week

Forgot to ask them about PBB, any idea if it's still available at the land side lounges?

I think only AmBank doesn't have anymore.

Don't think other banks made any changes... Ambank had to for rather obvious reasons....I have always maintain it is not sustainable to give unlimited free entries to lounges in landside without limitation to travellers only.... people just treat it as a free meal....

i think it's fair but I don't see any announcement made on their website during normal access. If there are, maybe they need to make it more obvious then.

They announced it to all card holders via email...

And in the list of lounges covered, ppl gateway and tgm gone....they have added Rome but not Melbourne....

Have checked again, found AmBank VI card can access HK and Vancouver International Airports. So during my long stop in HK can use the lounge for 3 hrs.

So plan to use CIMB VI for Penang lounge and AmBank VI for HK lounge.

I wonder if Ambank can access the new Aero lounge in KLIA2

"And in the list of lounges covered, ppl gateway and tgm gone"

Do u guys mean PPL access for AmBank cards in M'sia gone ? The last update I received from AmBank is in Oct 2017. Any new update from them since Oct ?

not in current list....it's in the land side, so unlikely be included...

all airside lounges still accessible....

Thanks !

Was wondering the land side terminology. So means departure (after check in) lounge no issue.

so far AEON reported okay.

airports generally are divided into 2 broad areas...land side which means areas open to everybody...check in, arrival wait etc....

airside refers to the secured areas where ONLY travellers can access....so generally means after security/immigrations....if you do NOT have a boarding pass, you cannot enter....and also, all staffs working in the airside needs passes and security checks....

technically, airside in international terminals also means OUTSIDE the country, as you have cleared immigration....

ppl has several lounges in klia2....at the landside, they have ppl gateway, and also manage tgm....and the newly opened aerotel and aerotel ppl....

at the ariside, they have ppl at l gates, wellness spa, and also manage the bar....

obviously for airside lounges, ONLY travellers can use....but the landside facilities, they do NOT insist you must be travelling to use...so many people just go use/eat....

if a card has restrictions, like 5 times annually, then it's ok, people will likely reserve use to when they actually travel....

ambank has no restrictions on how many times you use...

the main problem with both klia and klia2 is that, there is NO lounge available at the domestic airside...no space available...

For landsids lounge, you mean they do not check against your boarding pass to enjoy the facility and hence anyone with credit cards that can enter the lounge can just go even if they are travelling out?
