how to topup $$ for pp? pp is unlimited already right.
not all amex charge card.. only the plat with 3k af

Yup, Amex Platinum Charge Card, type too fast and missed out the most important word tongue.gif
If you have Priority Pass, it won't get you into PP First in HKIA (same for KLIA).
However, you can pay another HKD250, if not mistaken, to enter the PP First.
It is so much better than normal PPL.
Alternatively, build up your Arrture point, I am halfway into it.

This might help me a lot.

It is quite true from my personal experience, both of my sons are super skinny but tall.
First time 3 "paying" adults, asked for 2 kids to enter free, granted.
Second time, again 3 adults + 2 kids, but now I have 4 CC to enter, end up charging 3 adults only.
6 and 4yo.

need some advice here...

i'm avid traveller...currently has 4 bank cards

1. SC worldmiles (unlimited klia & klia2)
2. HSBC premier travel (12 times annually)
3. CITIBANK prestige (unlimited with lounge pass)
4. CIMB VI (8 times annually with min 100k spending)

Planning to cut off 1 of these to control spending but at the same time need to ensure at least 2 pax to enter local & overseas PPL

thinking to say bye2 to cimb...100k spending annually just to get 8 times entry...somemore have to bring the voucher always...leceh

what do you think?
*
Yup, CIMB is the most logic choice.
If you have extra fund, you can upgrade yourself into CIMB Preferred VI, no annual spending required.

Meanwhile, you may look into Ambank WMC, no AF and no annual spending requirement.
You may keep it for standby when your HSBC quota is exhausted or when you plan to bring in 3rd person.
The only downside, you need to spend RM500 with the card after every visit.

Mind to share what you had "earned" from prestige so far, besides the welcome bonus.
It may help us justify for the card.

We only 'earn' these 3 things from Prestige card.

1) 4N Free 1N stay in any hotel.
2) Free rides back from KLIA (unlimited provided card used for 3 transactions overseas)
3) Unlimited LK

Other than these 3, Prestige doesn't have that many benefits. Forget about those exclusive invites. I have joined for more than half a year and the only invite I got was for a movie screening for 2. But the invite was sent 3 days before the screening, so I didn't make use of it. But then again, it might be also because I do not spend that much on Prestige card.
*
Hardly stay in a same hotel for 5 continuous nights.
Based on my record for the past 10 (or 15) years, I only had once, if not mistaken, staying for 5 nights, for training in overseas.
Hence, I am also hesitating for Hilton Gold, as those city I travel frequently don't have Hilton in nice / convenient location.

I guess most of us here getting Prestige for LK.
For those in KL will utilizing the free rides.

Do note that it's 4NF1N. You need to stay only 4N. You have to book via Prestige's concierge. They will charge you for 4N, and then average out the price and credit the price of 1 night into your card a few days after payment. So effectively, you are paying for 3 nights. They are booking via Expedia, so the prices are what we will get anyway. Not the marked up prices.

I was lucky in that I had 2 work travels which required me to book 4 nights. If it wasn't for these 2, i would not have been able to utilize the 4NF1N as for personal holidays, i have never stayed in the same hotel for 4 consecutive nights.

I don't plan to renew the Prestige Card. Will cancel it in a few months, and wait and see what year end promos they have for new signups  biggrin.gif
*
Thanks for the detail.
4 nights yes, but not frequent too.
Sometimes I like to switch hotel on the last day to go different city / nearer to airport.
Your hotel bill is showing price for 3 nights or 4 nights?

Glad that they are using Expedia price.
But no chance to double dip with hotel membership (Hilton etc)?

Btw, someone told me you can't terminate and reapply for Prestige.
You will be "blacklisted" after terminate their card.
Same for Amex Plat.
Dont know how true.

Hi, Newbies here. Mind to share what is LK?

LK = Loungekey, which is a subsidiary of PP (Priority Pass).
Both give unlimited lounge access to 1000+ lounges worldwide.
Nevertheless, LK is slightly inferior compare to PP.

As long as your wife's PB VS is not a supp card, then ok. Why doesnt she get her own Aeon Big Gold?
*
PB Supp card also can access to lounge right?
The only difference is shared quota.

QUOTE(jefftan4888 @ Jan 19 2020, 04:13 PM)
I have PB VI + PB VS + RHB VS + AEON BiG Gold. My wife has PB VS.

Are the above cards enough for 2A +2C?

Which lounge will you recommend in KLIA?

Thanks.

How young are your kids?
You can even try for exemption if they are young .
< 3 yo usually ok
< 7 yo also good chance
No harm to ask for 1 paid 1 free for your kids.

PB you can use principal and supp card at the same time, as long as name different.
But it is counted as 2 access.

If not mistaken no.
But someone mentioned some time ago, you can joint account with spouse and somehow getting two principal cards.

I'm not a SC Priority Banking customer yet. However, I called them up today to clarify. According to the agent that attended to me, their joint account has primary account holder and secondary account holder. Only primary account holder is eligible for applying as a principle credit card holder.

So, doesn't sound like it's possible to me. cry.gif
*
Yes, after primary holder got the card, switch 2ndary to primary and apply for another card.
Try to walk in to a premier banking centre and talk to them face to face.
I think such loophole, they won't tell you via phone.

What does total cost of stay will be charged at booking Means?Is free night still applicable?
*
Meaning prepaid rate, usually non-refundable.
4th free night is still applicable.
Yes, the card is no longer prestige, not really worth AF 1k.

Can refer to Sg version below:
