Yes, this has been discussed earlier, best don't use 2 CC from the same bank to enter PPL.
I guess bank is tightening their inspection nowadays for such scenario.

Theoretically, only principal card holder allows to enter him/herself.
If you use both CC from same bank, they are able to track it easily.
Whereas if you use two CC from different banks, they won't be able to detect this (you sign for other people as long as using your boarding pass).
Just terminate 1 and apply another similar card from other bank.

PPL will be more than happy to allow as many guests to enter.
Bank is the one objecting.
There is a list to fill in for every bank.
Hence, the bank can easily trace it if PPL allows same name to enter twice (using different card).
However, I believe there is no way to trace the list of other banks.
It should be safe to use CC from different banks.

No way. Go get RHB / Public bank which entitle both PPL in domestic and international departure (PIA)

As mentioned above, not worth it.
Get your wife a supp card, PB supp card is eligible for PPL (but will share your quota, total 2 access).
Ask them to send to branch for collection (usually faster) instead of sending to your address, tell them urgent.

You can also look for those bank / branch who can offer you instant CC, ie RHB, apply for those cards with PPL access.
Else may not in time to get you card before travel.

Both NO

There was once my flight delayed to 3am, but PPL closed at 11pm...

I was flying from KK, if not mistaken it was close at 11 or 1130... Managed to grab some late dinner inside PPL and ignore AA hard cold burger

Blame the auto correction. Haha
My worst delay was in Bangkok.
3pm delayed till 3am.
No notice in advance, keep on delaying a few hours and finally the flight only reached by 3am.
Got some voucher to spend on food.

Perhaps, not too sure.
If I knew it will delayed for 12 hours, I will at least go back to City or choose to fly the next day.

Yes, but not worth it, unless you have no where to go and need to spend hours there...

No way. SST RM25/access is too much, equivalent to RM400+ for each paid access (6%).

https://www.plaza-network.com/location_detail?city=London
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!

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!!!

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)

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

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)

At least MBB and AMB can
The rest not too sure

We did discussed about this 200-300 posts before, but I think no clear conclusion (some are saying 24 hrs but may not applicable for all airlines).
It is best you check from airasia CS.

If you intend to go T1/T2 from T4 (internally, after check-in), do refer my previous post below:

Is supp card entry stated in T&C?
Can't find any information about supp card...

So far i know Ambank is restricting one entry per day, is the same applicable to other banks?

For RHB supp card, are they going to charge you (assuming you bring in guest / exceed your 5x allocation)?

Yes, missed the good old days with Ambank unlimited entry.
Max record go in 3x PPL within one journey (need to spend 1500 though)
