Should be OK, from what I read when I go through the bank T&C only PBB restrict entitlement based on highest tier card one may hols

I believe he owned both CIMB cards, one to use for himself while another for his son to enter PPL.
He is not asking about number of entry...

I have two ambank VS cards, the normal one and islamic.

Provided I've spent RM500 with both cards within 30days of my entry, can I use both cards to allow myself and my wife free entry into plaza premium lounge in KLIA?

Sry if this has been asked before but I've scrolled about 5-6 pages of the last thread and couldn't find any info on this, just afraid there's policy changes about using second card to bring in another person.
*
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.

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.

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

I just called in to Public Bank CS today to check how many times I have used my card for PPL. Public Bank CS was able to tell me that I have never used for PPL this year, but I use 1 time last year. And FYI, the no. of entitlement goes according to calender year and not card anniversary year.

Later, I called in to MBB Amex CS to check how many times I have used my Singapore Airlines Krisflyer Amex card for PPL, the CS answered me that they need to write in and revert to me after 3 days, but if I go to any PPL, the PPL staff would be able to tell me how many times I have left. And according to credit card page: "Kindly be informed that effective 8th March 2016, access to the Plaza Premium Lounge is now up to a maximum of 5 times per calendar year." So Maybank use calender year too.

Conclusion, different bank have different ways to check the balance of entitlements.

BTW, I am going to travel from Penang - KLIA2 - China. Can I swipe the same card in the same day at Penang airport to enter Penang PPL, then later swipe at PPL KLIA2 beside Aerotel? I am asking rgd  Singapore Airlines Krisflyer Amex card, Aeon Big Visa Gold and Public Islamic Platinum. Tq in advance.
*
Thanks for the info.
Maybank - no indication cannot use on same day.
Aeon & PBB no idea.
AMB & HSBC once / day.

Just checking hsbc Visa Signature Card for Plaza Premium Lounge in Changi airport.

I expect to swipe by two times as below:
1) 18-Jul around 11pm or before 12am
2) 19-Jul around 2-3am

This could be done right since different day ??
*
Yes, after 12mn is a different day.
You can also dine at TGM at 11pm (close at 1am) and then T1 lounge after 12...

bro if i use one ambank priority one ambank normal visa signature can or not?
what is DP and AMB?
*
Cannot use multiple cards from the SAME bank.
Because every bank has 1 list.
You cannot have 2 same name on the list, same date same time.
Different bank is fine because they won't see other bank list.

AMB = AMBank

seems clearer now...while most banks haven't made any clear ruling, except ambank, the lounges have decided to apply the same principle and disallow using 2 or more cards from the same bank at the same time....

the next question is, what if using at different lounges, on the same calendar day?....say someone transiting in changi, uses one card in klia, and then a different card from the same bank at changi...?

it also now, in the light of the sst tax on cc, raise the question of whether it's worth holding multiple cards from the same bank....
*
Ambank and HSBC clearly stated 1 access / day
MBB should be fine
Tested on CIMB Preferred VI ok too

Yes, only those mentioned 1 entry / day
Can't forget the good old days using one Ambank to enter 3x PPL in a day

If holding Ambank signature cards then that’s not a problem as it’s unlimited

Nope. If you read the T&C clause 4, cardholders are entitle access once per day.
Signature (priority) card holder can technically enter only 365 times/year.
This clause was newly added (either latest - Aug18 or the one earlier).

The problem is, it says "cardholder".....and does not address people who holds multiple cards directly..... so if you enter using the wmc, can you enter at another airport using the vi the same day?
*
I would say yes...
because:
1. different card
2. different PPL

That's the main reason i start exploring other cards since AMB implementing 1 entry / day.

QUOTE(limeuu @ Mar 25 2019, 11:32 AM)
Only 2 banks give principal and supplementary cards separate access into lounges....ambank and rhb....

The conditions governing this perk varies depending on the prevailing TnC of the programme....

In your case, the priority banking signature cards allows unlimited entries without conditions, and the same applies for all your supplementary cards....

However, as discussed above, it appears restricted to one entry per calendar day....
*
Yes for AMB.
For RHB, there is clear indication for supp card to enter PPL as well as separate access.

Hi, will be going to HK soon. Can you advise whether we (2 adults + 2 kids -5yo & 7yo) can enter the Aerotel PPL with cards below:
1) PBB VS - got 2 principal cards.
2) Aeon Gold
3) RHB VS

Plan to go to HKIA PPL as well by using HSBC VS (got 2 principal cards), if I apply other cc (beside HSBC) which allow free enter to HKIA PPL, can bring my kid into it or not? Any recommended card on this?

Thanks.
*
For HKIA PPL, apply for Ambank CC together with supp card for your spouse.
Both principal and supp card can enter (assuming both of you are the '2 adults').
Need to spend RM500 on EACH card before/after 30 days of PPL visit.

Can a family of 2 adults 2 kids (age 5 and 7) access to PPL in KLIA if i have AM Bank CC (principal for me and sub card for my wife) then another 2 CC from different bank under my name for my kids?

Should be ok, as long as the 2 CC for your kids are different banks and all CC are eligible for entry.

Yes, is a restaurant.
The food is better than PPL unless you plan to sit for LONG time.

If we (me and my husband) try to apply 2 principle MBB visa infinite, will it solve my case where we can enter together for both aerotel and HKIA PPL?
*
I think MBB VI can go in both Aerotel and HKIA PPL.
Do note that you need to spend 50k for each card to qualify for AF waiver.

QUOTE(triple c @ Mar 31 2019, 12:02 PM)
For ambank card, can use for HKIA only? can use for aerotel? If both can, then apply ambank should be easy to be approved. If wan to entet both aerotel and HKIA PPL, i need to swipe rm1000 for each card, right?
*
Not sure Ambank can enter Aerotel.
Anyone can confirm this?
Or you may just search around this thread (and the previous version).
Yes, if allow enter both PPL, you need to swipe RM1000 on EACH card.

Not true, you can always check the list from MBB website.
Besides Sg and HK, there are several common airports for Msian flyers including:
Shanghai, Taiwan, London, UAE, India etc.

i was in the same situation before, two kids 11 & 13, with my wive, all together 4 person, 2 credit cards not sufficient for entry. ended up 2 eat in ppl and 2 eat in golden lounge
*
Somewhere last year, 3 adults + 2 kids (5 & 3yo), enter PPL with 3 cards (2 kids go in free).
To be fair, 3yo can enter for free, only the 5yo getting free entry, after consulting their manager (or supervisor).

Thanks for correction.
Never tried personally, only read (misled) somewhere else.

I already have Aeon Plat for domestic, but I'm looking for another card for international PPL without annual fee, for China, Hong Kong, and maybe Heathrow.

Any other recommended cards? Without annual fee & on par with Ambank & RHB.
*
Ambank is the best choice.
No AF, but need to spend RM500, 30 days before/after each entry.
Supp card also allow entry.

Maybank VI, need to spend 50k to waive AF.

HSBC VS. Can use for HK & Sg.
Need 1 swipe / month to waive AF.

Thanks. Ambank seems easier to achieve. I wonder if utility bill consider as spending?

SCVI is good, but not many can afford 250k.

No reason utility not consider as spending.
I think even Jompay is fine (please try to clarify from CS).
