regarding this cimb VI card,
what if u spend less than 100k per annum?
8X Airport Lounge Access
to Plaza Premium Lounge*. Automatically renewed annually with minimum total spending of RM100,000 per annum.
no more lounge use?
but cimb preferred VI
https://www.cimbpreferred.com.my/en/lifesty...privileges.html and cimb VI has different terms
preferred VI -> • 4x per annum for CIMB Preferred customers and enjoy unlimited access at selected airport lounges in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Cambodia.
I do not even use the lounge vouchers as at now and also expired. For some maybe important but not for my my travel patterns. Was offered the Preferred VI a few years ago but i just ignore when the RM phoned in. Instead i applied the Affinity Credit card just because of membership with institution.
CIMB Affinity Credit CardLounge food? Hmm... went in before at Indonesia airport during transit by customer chartered flight, when see the food and how passengers touch or scoop, i avoided.
Basically, i just use my company credit card all the time whenever accepted by any merchant and eat whatever i like and at my flexible rather than restricted at lounge only certain food.
I keep the VI just for points and emergency usage with the high CL in case at hotel the company credit card could not go through when terminal is down or the company credit card CL exceeded swipe and bank late update payment status from company. Happened to me a few times, need to phone in the bank and waiting to request temporary CL increase for company CC. If one happened to catch a flight after check out, one will not wait for half hour or more waiting the stupid bank approval from the Manager, worst if it is weekends. So this bank high CL CC serves as this one emergency usage for me.
In short, find a CC suits one's spending pattern and gain the benefits from there.
Cash Rebate and VI no annual fees and both suit me.
