Going to transit in Changi next week. PPL is in T1, T2 and T4 as far as I know. How about TGM ? Is it better than PPL ?

Can AmBank and CIMB VI get into TGM and which terminal ? hmm.gif

Ppl are in T1 and t4....tgm is in T2....

Like tgm in klia2, the T2 tgm is a public access restaurant....not lounge....but the set meal is very good.... including sushi....

If I want a rest and shower, i use the T1 ppl....if just short transit and a good meal, is use tgm.... ambank vi/wmc can enter....

Have not used the t4 blossoms ppl yet....

Thanks !

AmBank showed:
Singapore Changi Airport
i) Level 3, Departure/Transit Lounge West, Terminal 1
ii) Level 3, Departure/ Transit Lounge Central, Terminal 2
iii) BLOSSOM - SATS & Plaza Premium Lounge, International Departures, Terminal 4 (new)

So the T2 one is actually TGM. So can still use VI card to go in TGM (for free) though it is public access ?

Yes, there is only TGM in T2, which is under PPL.
There is no PPL lounge in T2.
TGM is like a restaurant, where public can go in and order (paid) for food.
With AMB/CIMB VI, you can redeem for FREE food in TGM.
Proceed to counter with your card, there is a list of set meal to choose from.

Thanks !

Saw CIMB VI PPL access terms in their website:

Plaza Premium Lounge voucher is eligible for CIMB Preferred Visa INFINITE principal cardholders only and are non-transferable.
The cardmember must present his/her Plaza Premium Lounge Voucher, passport or NRIC, CIMB Preferred Visa INFINITE credit card and a valid boarding pass at the time of use of this Voucher.

Is the voucher meant for overseas location like Singapore ? hmm.gif

My dad is using CIMB Preferred VI, and we just went in PPL without "voucher", both local and overseas.
Just like normal CC, swipe at reception desk.
I am not sure if he is getting any voucher in the first place.

Do note that normal CIMB VI - 8x PPL access + 100k spending/yr (the list only shows local + Sg)
For CIMB Preferred VI - 6x PPL access (private wealth) or 4x access (Preferred) + unlimited in Sg, Indo, Thai, Camb.
However, from the PPL list, it shows only local + Sg.

Thanks, in April I went in to PPL with CIMB Preferred VI without voucher. Next week plan to use it in Penang, so want to confirm this voucher that was shown in their website.

U are right that their website only show M'sia and S'pore PPL.

There are not many banks that allow supplementary cardholders to have independent access to lounges....

Ambank and rhb stands out.....

Citibank allowed it as well.

The Citibank website is silent on this....in fact the prestige card comes with priority pass only for the principal card...

Maybe the front page can be updated with this information...supps with access....

My experience is on the Citigold provided complementary Visa Signature Reward card. I gave my son supplementary card and he can go inside the PPL using the supp card.

Is the Prestige card higher/lower tier than the Reward card ? I am not sure of the difference.

Of course Prestige is much higher than Reward.

Based on what was discussed, Prestige supp card cannot enter PPL. That seems to be strange.

Prestige card comes with Priority Pass, unlimited access.
Priority Pass only give to Principal card holder.
Hence Supp card is unable to access.

VS (aka PremierMiles) is given unlimited access to local PPL (only).
Although there is no directly mention Supp card can access to PPL, but it does stated all cardmembers (which should include Supp card).
Also for their general T&C, it is stated "Card" includes Supp Card.
Hence, Citibank PremierMiles Supp card is eligible to enter PPL.
Unfortunately not the case for Prestige card mentioned above.

thumbsup.gif Thanks for the detail explanation. Being Citigold still given a Visa Signature Reward card is a turn down. Can only access KLIA PPL only. Need to complain to them.

Unlike CIMB or AmBank, given VI card with more access in M'sia or overseas.

I don't deny Citibank CC is pretty useless compare to other CC in term of lounge access.
Besides, I think there is no designated card for Citigold (priority) customers.
Some Citigold still remain using their 20 years GOLD card  sweat.gif

Hence you can't complain too much in term of Prestige vs VS
Prestige comes with AF RM1k!
Not sure Citigold will offer auto-waiver...

Good info. I thought Citigold would start with Platinum card first. Anyway not for discussion here.

At least Ambank & CIMB VI waived fees of 600+ for priority customers and have better benefits for PPL access.

Thanks for sharing the info! notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Thanks for the info given.

In Changi, I went in to the T2 TGM twice. Once get the Japanese set meal for dinner and another time for the Japanese breakfast.

Both of high quality!

Better than taking the food in PPL. thumbup.gif

Yes I have been to Changi T2 TGM a couple of times too and I have to say their food is comparable to the Japanese food in the mall. Quite good  biggrin.gif
