Then consider rhb Vs and/or wmc....free for life, 5 entries per calender year, supp card entitled separate entries....can enter all airside lounges at both klia terminals plus international departure at kk and Penang, plus gateway and tgm landside at klia2....

However no lounge Access out of msia....

From my personal experience, I suggest you look into the following cards:
RHB WMC, HSBC VS, Aeon, AMB WMC, PBB WMC

Generally, CC is offering lounge access in hope that you bring them along during overseas trip (yes, most of us will only bring 2-3 CC along).
Hence, most bank has cut down lounge access for domestic traveling, only can access to lounge in international departure.

For int'l departure, both RHB and HSBC are quite good.
RHB has no AF while HSBC, you need to swipe once a month for AF waiver.
If you managed to bump your salary to 120k (after include bonus / passive income etc), you can opt for AMB which gives you a lot more options for overseas lounges, no AF but you need to spend RM500 for each access.
For AMB, you can supp a card for your partner, where it allows supp card holder to enter with his/her supp card.

Aeon is still good for domestic traveling (if not mistaken).
Same for PBB, but it only has 2/3x access (combine with supp).

Last but not least, most of the cards only allow 1 access / day.
Meaning KL - Sg (transit) - XX, you can't use same card in both KL and Sg.

Both of these are good recommendations, I will look into them. Many thanks!

Talk about having these free limo rides from CCs, I really don't understand why banks don't allow us to claim for Grab/ MY car etc where it is cheaper, easier, more convenient and of all, they usually come in better cars. I really fret taking taxis from the Taxi Booth at KLIA 2 arrival hall where you have to purchase a ticket and then drag your bags all the way down to LG to get a ride in a smelly, old taxi. For my destination, its Rm93.90 (SCB pays Rm80) Vs Grab's Rm65 + Rm7 Toll fee. I mean banks could also save a bit if they us to claim rides on ride sharing apps.

Give them some time, probably during next change.
We already see HLB Emirates giving free Grab for now, other CC may follow.
I believe they have some sort of contract with those limo / taxi, it takes time to re-negotiate.

my experience - no smelly, but the taxi will run a while then have a sudden break feeling, i guess is due to the engine.

I don't mind airport limo from KLIA, but not the taxis from KLIA 2. They overcharge but give crap service. Rm93.90 Vs Grab Rm65+Rm7 (Toll). I wonder who would want to take taxi. whistling.gif

Rhb vi has unlimited access to PPL in Msia & Sg.
However it is limited to 1000 entries (every month), first come first serve.
Dont feel like taking the risk, is good to have anyway.
Also, rhb vi has higher income requirement - 150k, hence it wasn't listed in the earlier post.

I don't like the limited 1000 entries per month....very possible you may be denied entry by end of every month.....might as well take the guaranteed 5 times a year of the Vs/wmc.....unless you are a very very frequent traveller....

But if you can get the premier vi, then no limitations, and you get access to a few more international ppls.....
