For CIMB Visa Infinite card, it said 8X access of PPL per year. Does it limit PPL access to once a day, like AmBank cards ?

Thanks!

CIMB Preferred Visa Infinite credit card and CIMB Preferred Debit Mastercard which are entitled for 8x access has  no restriction on how many access per day. I suppose it should be the same for VI too. But ask CS to confirm.

Yes, in their TnC, CIMB did not say once per day. Just want to confirm. AmBank one has asked thru' email, no reply yet.

CIMB - Pre covid it was once a day but can access another different airport on the same day. Each counted as a visit.
AMBank - Is once a day but can use another AMBank card on the same day in a different airport.

Received reply thru' email from AmBank CS, so does accessing another airport on the same day NOT allowed ? Seems to me to be not allowed as it said below. So meaning once a day only.

My email,

Hi,

For airport lounge complimentary access, I understand that each person is allowed entry once per day.

However, if I have say one Visa and Mastercard where both are entitled for lounge access. Am
I allowed to enter the lounge say to KL airport using Visa card, then upon reaching Singapore use
Mastercard for the lounge access, on the same day ?

Please advice.

CIMB VI - in order to get PPL access, you must spend >RM100k in the past 1 year, except first year. I remember when I was given the pre-approved VI a few years ago, CIMB gave me some PPL vouchers, No more PPL access now as I didn't fulfill the spending requirement.
*
For their Priority/Preferred VI card, no such requirement but must have AUM meeting the Priority/Preferred requirement.

Do they check AUM everytime you access the lounge?

Haha, AUM side, maybe the bank will not pay for the entry and charge u later if AUM below requirement for PB.

Just called AmBank on my coming overseas travel. Enquired again on the dual cards for access to 2 lounge on the same day.

Firm answer said no. The CS said the lounge will decline the free access.

My question in August 2023:

"I have a Metal Visa Infinite card and a SIGNATURE  Priority Visa Infinite card.
Can I use one for a visit in KLIA and the other card in another country the same day?"

Their answer

"Do confirm on your Asset Under Management (AUM) criteria on the month of access for you to identify whether you will be subjected to a minimum spend for each card after lounge access."

Nevertheless, you may use your both cards on the same day.

Written reply ?

Not sure about it, unless Metal card has special privilege. Last year one CS over the phone suggested for me to use one card
in one lounge and another in next destination.

It beats me ........ biggrin.gif

Yes spending RM60000 to get 5x.
It was RM100000 spending to get PPL vouchers.

You may consider CIMB Islamic Petronas Visa Infinite-i, no spending requirement.

Checked again, for CIMB Preferred VI card, no spend requirement ?
