I planning to use PPL (with shower) in heathrow T4 this December.
Travelling with wife and 3 children plus 1 infant.
Me and wife already got MBB Infinite each.

How much they will charge for my childrens for walk in guest?
I know infant is free. I read somewhere that infinite holder (guest) can get 20% discount

GBP40 for 2 hours.
Yes, you can get 20% discount for each accompanying guest.
Nevertheless, I don't think it is worth it.

Since you still have time, I will suggest you apply for Ambank WMC immediately (unless you already in UK now).
One for yourself and supp for your wife and kids (if over age 18).
Swipe them for your kids to enter PPL free.
Ambank is one of few banks allowing supp card holder to enter PPL.
You need to spend RM500 on EACH card though within +/- 30 days for free entry.

Note: You may try apply for Ambank VI too, but some PPL will reject same person same bank (Amb WMC & Amb VI)
Note2: I am not sure Heathrow PPL allows you to swipe for your kids, try your luck

For local PPL, I ever went in 3 adults and ask for a kid FOC (manager allowed it, else they lose 3 business)
You may try the trick for 4 pax and ask for another for free

If you have spare cash (250k), apply for SC Priority VI for Loungekey.
Then you will get another entry.
Last but not least, I truly salute you for bringing 4 kids together!
Have a nice trip!

The international boarding pass applicable for other cards as well? or just SCB world miles?

The tnc is published by SCB...

HSBC Premier Travel also tied to loungekey program, allowing x12 entry

I will rate those with PP/LK (UOB, SC, HSBC, HLB*) - 4 points
Maybank and Ambank are entitled for quite a lot popular destination - 3 points
RHB - 2 points
CIMB (Sg & Indonesia) - 1 point

* HLB, forget about it, not sincere at all, 300k spending!!!

Add-on:
To determine which card suite you best, there are 3 categories to look at.
Assuming the main purpose for getting the card is to get as much free lounge as possible (especially international).

a. List of accepted airport / lounge & Number of access
b. AF Waiver, no one likes paying AF and assuming this is not your best CC, lower AF waiver the better
c. Benefit of using the CC (it will be too long to analyze this, hence the assumption in #b)

Hence, I will rank the card as below:

#1. SC - LK with unlimited access worldwide, AF waive at merely 10k
#2. AMB - unlimited access to popular destination (if those you travel frequently fall within, this is good), no AF
#3. HSBC - LK with x12 access worldwide, AF waive at 45k (although this is also tied to LK, I think the accepted airport is less than SC)
#4. UOB - Dragon Pass with x6 access worldwide, if not mistaken AF waive at 12 swipes, AUM at whooping 500k!
#5. MBB - x12 access to popular destination, if not mistaken AF waive at 50k (save as VI?)
#6. RHB - x10 access to limited destination, unlimited access when spending above 100k, no AF
#7. CIMB - x4/x6 access to very few destination, no AF
#8. HLB - PP with x4 access worldwide (only for first year), subsequent year need to spend 300k!!!

If u are able to enter Skyteam lounge, I reckon that is better than PPL. With some card, you can enter both.

a few corrections...

Maybank vi is 5x/year.....

Maybank and amb cards can access most of the international stable of ppl lounges....

Rhb is the one with restriction to only a few....

Which card is for Maybank Priority customer?
VI, general public can get it without being their Premier / Priority customer.
For Diamante VI, I think you need USD1M to become their Private Wealth customer (this is beyond reach for most of us here)

No special cards for their private banking customers....

If not mistaken, MayBank Premier Wealth offers Premier 2 Cards (which is available to the public as well) with some additional perks such as more Treat points accumulation (i seen this information at the advertisement at Pavilion) and perhaps annual fee waiver (not to sure)

No, the terms are the same, for all....no extra points or waiver of spending requirement....in fact, MBB is one of the most stingy bank in terms of annual fees waiver....

https://www.maybankpremierwealth.com/my/en/rewards.html
Refer to above link, you do get extra 5000 TP when spending 15k/month

This is new, but only for the premier banking account holders....I don't qualify because I hold a very old account (premier 1) and was only subsequently upgraded to premier banking, and never changed my account....

In any case, 5000 extra points for spending 15k doesn't seem very attractive, when you can potentially already get 75k points...

Is true, but not easy to spend 15k on amex (compare to visa)
Standard chartered also offering similar bonus points (for premier customer), you can even earn points from your FD / CASA (though SC points are much inferior)

Have anyone used their Maybank M2P cards principle to bring a guest to the Premium Plaza without having to pay? Will the staff swipe 2 times without having to pay?

I understand that Principle can access for free but not the guest. Just wondering if anyone had entered with a guest and asked to sign 2 times.

One card for one entry. Cannot use same card to swipe two complimentary accesses.

You need 2 separate card for this.
Fyi, if you want supplementary also entitle for free access, you can try ambank and public bank.

anybody try arrived to singapore t4 can entry t4's ppl or not?

At least MBB and AMB can
The rest not too sure
