Sad that PPL access is no longer free, guess all good things come to an end sad.gif

Is there any better card that gives free lounge access WORLDWIDE (limited times is ok for non-frequent flyer) without annual fee ?

i beg to differ. I think its still good card. No annual fee. Long list of lounges local and overseas. Just need to spend RM500. That's easy for most people with a car, just petrol would surely be more than RM500 in 60 days (pre and post lounge use). Of course if you are frequent flyer than maybe not enough entries. But then, if you are frequent fly, each time charge you card, a return ticket surely more than RM500.

The main sad thing is removal of GM....

Agreed with you . Ambank still a good card for me . Easily hit RM 500 for travel by booking flights + hotel .

for petrol   alone  people have plenty of options with cashback cards.
why spend 500 on petrol just to enter the lounge when you  can  get cashback with  other cards?

anyway entered PPL gateway recently, very poor food selections. bangwall.gif
they are certainly making lots of profits of  banks. lol.

Petrol spending to accumulate RM500 in 60days is just an example. Not all people will use cashback card for petrol spend anyway.

What if spend rm50 a day spread over 20 days in the month?....as in real life?....

You can enter lounge every 10 days for spending 500(50/day). I think it doesn't matter as long as you achieve 500 before or after lounge access. Their email reply is clear enough.

Well.... some of the spends "after" will also be "before" of the next entry....

Nevermind... I can think of a simple solution, so I think that's what they will use to calculate....

even a low profile AEON Big gold card offers GM.  bangwall.gif

what is GM?
Ya 500 bucks is easy to achieve but the list of PPL is not enough to cover all the airport. Likely most visited airport is KLIA still.
So probably to enter PPL for both leg is very dependent on where we visit...

It's one card per day....do technically, if you use a different card, you can enter another lounge the same day....or bring another person in the same lounge....

Have done this before....

But I generally try use different bank's cards within the same day, to avoid potential complications....

Update for those eligible for the signature version of the cards....

You need to get a form and fill in the part requesting additional cards....and submit....it will not be automatically given....they will give you the signature cards IN ADDITION to your existing ones!....so they say once you have the new cards you can request to cancel the original ones if you don't want to keep so many cards...

Fyi

Ah yes, it states somewhat vaguely, that "cardholders allowed to enter once per day"....does not say clearly if it's per card or per person irrespective of how many cards he has...
