Any cards with lounge access without annual fee by default or by swiping 12 times besides aeon big gold??
*
Depending on your annual income, more choice for higher income.
For entry level, Aeon Gold & Aeon Big Gold has lower income requirement (36k) with 12 swipes.
Next one I believe is HSBC VS with double requirement at 72k, also with 12 swipes.
Followed by RHB VS/WMC, PBB VS at 80k, but no min spend.
Probably a few more in between.

Besides, it also depending on which airport you needed.
Aeon/Big/RHB/PBB has access to KLIA/2, Pg, KK, Kuching
HSBC has access to KLIA, Changi, HKIA

Is there any card that supplementary card can enter lounge for free?
*
So far I tried with Ambank Supplementary card.
Need to swipe RM500 within 30 days before and/or after each lounge access.
Limit to one access per day.

If not mistaken, RHB and Public Bank also possible.

Looking from the replies above, free lounge access can use by other person? not only the card's owner?

If yes, any recommendation for CC that have lounge access and zero annual fees?
*
Yes, let's say you have 3 cards with lounge access, you can bring along 2 friends (all by swiping your 3 different cards).
It is best to use cards from different bank, although I have no problem so far.

Go to page 1, which list out all cards with lounge access, check them one by one tongue.gif
Most of the cards with zero annual fee are premium cards (with higher income requirement).
Also a couple of mid range card requiring 12 swipes to waive AF.
You can try RHB, Public bank, Ambank (RM500 swipe for each lounge access), HSBC (with 12 swipes), Aeon / Aeon Big (with 12 swipes), and more...
Some have access to more airports, some less, do check their list.
Sorry I don't go detail for each card, just a general idea for you, you can start from those listed above.

Ambank Visa and Ambank MC. Even if you have these 2 cards, only 1 can be used at any one time per day.

Ambank Signature card. There is no need to spend RM 500.

The best card would be the one that gives you a separate Priority Pass card or associated/linked to Loungekey. That gives you access to about 1000 lounges worldwide.
*
Definitely no problem to use one card each within a day (for yourself).
Ie. Day trip, morning use VI, evening return use WMC.
You need to spend RM500 with VI and another RM500 with WMC.

Scenario 2, you bring a friend with you.
You can use VI for yourself, and WMC for your friend.
But because both are from Ambank, with same enter time, sometimes PPL don't allow this (but I tried twice so far ok).

Only Ambank Priority banking (VI/WMC) no need spending and with unlimited access.
Ambank VS is required to spend RM500, please check the T&C again.
https://www.ambank.com.my/ambank/Documents/...umLoungeTnC.pdf

Nowadays, not many card has Priority Pass and Loungekey anymore.
Airport lounges are overcrowded.

I tried once before. Can not with PPL. May be different PPL possible but I wouldn't know.

But I have notice different PPL may have different rules. For example. Heathrow's Terminal 5 PPL doesn't accept Ambank but Terminal 4 would. Or was it the other way around?

SCB priority bank CC was previously with Priority Pass. Now with Loungekey. LK linked to the CC itself so one less card to carry.
*
Yes, different bank / CC has access to different lounges.
For Ambank, you can access the following lounges in Heathrow:
1) Departure T2
2) Arrival T2
3) Departure T4
4) Arrival T3 (new)
5) Arrival T4 (new)
6) Departure T5 (coming soon) - maybe that's the reason

Always check the list prior entrance.
Show them the list as they may overlook.

For AmBank Priority Banking, Signature, VI and WMC, I think still limited to once per day lounge access. Below clause 4:

4.  Cardholders are entitled to access the lounge only, once per day

Except no need to have RM500 spending requirement and 5X access per year.
.
*
When I first using Ambank VI, I can actually have unlimited entry per day.
Initially the clause was 3x overseas swipes, then changed into spending RM500 / entry.
Got once, I enter 3 times a day, while transiting in Sg.
From Penang PPL, then Changi TGM, and followed by Changi PPL.

Somewhere last year, Ambank amended the clause and limit to 1 use per day.
End up I applied for RHB WMC for local use.

For priority banking, I believe it is also once per day, better confirm from their T&C.
Since they removed Penang, Kuching, KK, and limited to 5x entry per year, there is not much usage for this card anymore.
Redemption points for air miles also increase from 5000 to 7000 (40% increase).
It was one of the top 3 CC for this segment.
Now, the only use for me is for my parents to enter PPL while travel overseas (using my sub card).

The way I interpret AmBank T & C is only one time entry per day, irrespective of having both VI and WMC. Though I have both cards under their Signature (no need RM500 expenditure).

Now they removed Penang PPL entry. But to avoid issue with their terms, I have used CIMB VI for Penang PPL and then AmBank's one for Changi or Hong Kong on the same day.  biggrin.gif

Sorry I misinterpreted your "Signature" previously, i thought it was Visa Signature, not aware that Ambank Signature = Priority banking.
Based on the T&C, I can say that it is a grey area whether can use both VI and WMC on the same day.
Perhaps you should email Ambank for clarification.
It is a proof if they still charging you.

how about main card and supplementary card?

eg: Public bank VI and Ambank VI

can it be use for same day, same time, same lounge?
*
Yes, both can enter same lounge, else there is no point allowing supp card to enter.
For Public bank, total allocation for principal and supp cards are combined (ie total x3, both principal + supp enter will use up x2 entry).
For Ambank, each card holder is eligible for x5 entry, but need to spend RM500 on each card (cannot spend RM1000 on principal card only).
Supp card can enter his/her own without needing principal card holder around.

What make you think theoretically not allow? There is reason why they open the lounge before Immegration, sure they have considered the 'abuse' before they open it there.
*
PPL don't care, they want crowd and income.
That's why more and more CC remove access to landside lounge as this is not their intention for their given benefits.
When we are flying (especially overseas), generally we need to use CC for flight and hotel.
So they want us to use the lounge only when we are flying, not going there for free food, especially those cards with unlimited entry.

Is it just present the card and boarding pass at the entrance?
I did try before, but the people told me only applicable for business class passenger

Make sure you enter the correct lounge.
There are many lounges in KLIA, ie MAS Golden lounge, Cathay Pacific, Silver Kris etc.
Look for Plaza Premium Lounge (most of us with CC only eligible to access PPL).
Of course you need to make sure your card entitle you to enter.

Let's say your credit card entitled you x5 entry to airport lounge.
On your 6th visit, what will happen?
a) PPL reception reject your entry, offering you entry at discounted rate
b) PPL reception has no idea your quota is exhausted and continue allowing your access, charges will reflected in your statement
