They would know..but no harm to ask if the card has a complimentary access. For places like wellness spa, the spa (massage, etc.) part is chargeable.

The wellness spa and others that need pay will write there? All Food and drinks free right? So if just give the card let them swipe I will able to enter? Bank will auto deduct the charge?

Ambank. Any different procedure for different bank?

Yes for Wellness Spa is buffet style. So just eat and drink all you can. No charges, it will just print out a slip and you just sign on it.

No different procedure, just that some cards have limitation of the no. of entries, you can't really "spam". For AEON, you may need to fill in forms. For other cards just sign on the slip based on my experience with different banks. biggrin.gif

Wellness spa is not a bathing area? How come become buffet? Or I mistaken the term spa?
QUOTE(Human Nature @ Aug 8 2016, 07:47 PM)
I don't recall seeing any service menu that separates the charges. When in doubt, ask the receptionist. Food, drinks foc. They will swipe and the amount on the receipt will be 0.00 or 0.01.

Cards like Aeon card need to fill up a form.
*
So the form and slip is needed for access with credit card? Means we need inform them right? Otherwise they will treat as paying customer?

Sorry first time noob here. Maybe the question sound stupid tongue.gif

It is a spa which you will need to pay for massage and all. They serve food and drinks and you can take shower too. These are free.

No need to inform la.. sweat.gif doh.gif They know which card is entitled for free visit. You will see it on the slip. RM 0.00 or RM 0.01 for RHB if I'm not mistaken and it is not chargeable.
*
The slip is standard procedure? Even paying customer need to fill in?

ok thanks. I think more clear now.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Aug 8 2016, 09:44 PM)
Yes. All the staff are pretty well-informed, those common ones they just give one glance and know already. tongue.gif
I noticed for foreigners if they bring overseas CC, they will check further. Malaysia's issued cards are pretty OK.

Plaza premium lounge is malaysian company?

I check Ambank credit card website it got list the airport that have free access. End of the month Im going to GUangzhou but baiyun airport is not in the list. However in the PPL website it list Baiyun airport have lounge. Does it mean the card cannot access all airport PPL but only selected airport? Or is it because AMbank website not update?

Always follow the bank's offer. Not in the list meaning not eligible.

Ok thanks. Mistake anyway. I check the plaza website it says under development. Lol

PPL is not a Malaysian company. Well, not all are entitled. I was also in Baiyun earlier, it's not entitled. AmBank even removed Beijing one as well. sad.gif
Always check your cards' eligibility, you are not entitled for all PPLs. Hence cards with Priority Pass come handy for this kind of cases. However, most of the banks have removed PP.

Ok thanks. Something I should take note. I notice for showers need to pay not included in the lounge access. sad.gif

Usually is nice to have shower when long flights.

shower is free, if the lounge has the facility...it is not available in all lounges...that is the main reason i go to the lounges...to freshen up before especially a long haul red eye flight...
*
Ok thanks. Good to hear that. How to know if free or not? Need to ask the staff? Cos I notice in the plaza website it has different price than lounge access.

I think almost everybody at ppl will be on complimentary entry, either cc based or on business class with an airline affiliated to use ppl as their j lounge...i suspect very few people will actually want to pay for it....

for most cc, they will slot and print a slip, which you will sign, and keep a copy, like for any cc purchase...but the slip is not the same as the usual cc payment slip...

if any cc is not accepted, they will inform you...and ask if you want to pay to enter...

never been to welness spa....seldom fly aa...but it should work out the same...

beer is foc, but any other liquor is chargeable...

changi ppl also has private rooms which you need to pay extra to use...of course ppl gateway is itself a "transit hotel" with rooms for rent, although at the price they charge, might as well go get a tune hotel room...
*
If they say need to pay then reject abit malu la haha.

Some people just want a shower...so there is a separate price for shower alone...but they have no right to use the lounge and avail the food....
*
They can diffferentiate? Is it different location?

Like dat if my access is limited and I go the shower and then go the lounge consider as 2 entries?

It is in the same place, unless you step out from the PPL, then you won't be charged with two entries. You really need to go and try yourself and experience it. biggrin.gif

Ppl is a company that runs a collection of airport lounges under various names, including ppl, green market, wellness spa, flight club etc...it has arrangement with banks, airlines and other bodies to admit specified customers for free or at discounted rates...it currently only has 30+ lounges in the group...

In the case of cc holders, you respective bank will have an arrangement with ppl to admit you to specified ppl outlets, and only these...not others not listed by your bank...

there is no ppl card, but you use your cc to enter....

On the other hand, pp is an international membership organisation which does not own or run any lounge at all....it however has arrangements with more than 900 airport lounges all over the world, to enable members to enter for free...ppl being one them...

You can join pp anytime, for a fee....the fee depends on how many entries you want...and as a pp member, you can enter ANY lounge in the list...so it has much wider coverage than ppl....

If you have pp from the bank, the bank is paying for your membership...and you will be issued a separate pp card for entry....you do NOT need to show your cc to enter...
*
Like dat pp better right? It's not limited to the lounge you can access.

Yes of course pp is better.... otherwise I wouldn't have been able to enter lounges in europe, middle East and east Asia....but most banks have decided to exit the pp programme, and those still on have very restricted number of entries...
*
Also the cc requirement will be very high right? Like spend 300k only can get the pp. for the real elite class only
