Ambank has prohibited this practice.....but unsure if it's enforced effectively....I know it was still possible to use ambank's extra cards to bring in guests a few months after the rule changed last year....

does citibank corporate card allow the holder access to any airport lounge, cant seem to find any info online

I have Citibank corporate credit card for years, given by company and not aware of such feature. I remember my colleague asked Citibank before, no such benefit.

Less likely both can get in as PPL is quite strict nowadays when using multiple CC from the SAME bank.
If you have another CC from different bank, should be no problem.
Nevertheless, you may try it out (make sure they allow only swipe the card) or quickly apply for another CC before travel.

No problem access with ambank VS & Bonuslink VS at the same time in last December at TPE Airport.

Just to be safe, check whether one is charged.

Just got back from Langkawi, had a walk around the PPL there, pretty darn small PPL, but i guess still worth using if u got a lot of time to kill i guess. At least they have shower facilities.

I presume that's purely for domestic travel only?....what cards are accepted?

I forgot which ones accepted, but my AEON plat is accepted. I did ask, but completely forgot which other card are accepted.

corporate card doesn't have such feature...

Just checked with the gateway ppl....still accepts rhb premium cards on domestic travels....

The new aerotel ppl never has contract with rhb anyway.... didn't check with tgm....

So it's still useful for use on domestic travels through klia2....

what happen if the criteria for complimentary access doesn't meet and yet I use the credit card to swipe for PPL?

will the counter staff tell me that the card doesn't entitled for complimentary access because it doesn't meet the requirement (either domestic/international flight, spending amount, premier/priority banking status, etc)?

or they will straight charge full amount of cost that normally will charge to user that enter without complementary access?

This is very subjective to the acquiring bank.

Like aeon and SCB- they will bill the bank and it is up to the bank to charge you. They won’t know if you’ve used up your entitlement or not.

Using Cards like amb will tell u upfront. My kolik didn’t know amb plat no longer offers the privilege and was told chargeable. So I offered DP for his access and was told to make sure it is within entitlement otherwise chargeable too.

So best to find out the eligibility before entering.

yup. have to self track.

quite exhausting if you travel and use PPL frequently.

Wow. Thanks for sharing. Has been looking for the answer for quite some time. Any idea how about MBB and RHB?

In order to enjoy facility in PPL, I find this with no difficulty, for me, all recorded in excel file

If by criteria, you mean spending criteria like for ambank, that is not decided by the lounge.....the lounge will just determine contract with the bank, capture the entry, and leave it up the bank to deal with you....the bank will then look at your spending and determine free or charged....

If it's the number of entries, the lounge has no access to such information, so you have to keep track yourself.

I keep a note on my phone.....all my cards, and list all dates and lounges used....so will never exceed.....

Last time I went to SG PPL, I ask how many free entries have I consume . The lady swipe my MBB VI card in the terminal and right away tell me. I think certain banks like MBB allow their data to be shared with PPL?

if that is the case, then obviously mbb has opened access to their records, to the ppl group, to retrieve such data....i have asked at msia lounges before (can't remember which card) and they said ask the bank....

each bank has different practices....eg, mbb no need swipe card on the payment terminal.....but rhb does, and need to enter pin on the terminal, like making payment...

Yup SG lounges nvr fail me when I ask, even politely tell me my quota ran out.

They are all under PPL, why can it be so different? I suspect more to staff willing or unwilling to go the extra mile
