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.
