If you can access KLIA2 lounge means you can enter KLIA2 boarding area after the gate. One can enter the lounge if you are invited or as paying guest. For example, if you are taking MH flights - you need to be an "invited" guest, have lounge vouchers or hold special Enrich privileges. You can't pay your way in if you don't have anything mentioned earlier.

Commercial lounges (eg. PPL in MY, Miracle Lounge in BKK) You can pay your way in or hold privileges to enter. (E.g credit card privileges)

Boarding pass are not interchangeable between KLIA and KLIA2. Boarding pass are granted if you are going to board a flight in the respective terminal. In any airport, these areas are high security areas.

Existing AMBank cards have spending requirements before you can utilise the lounge. As much as a lot of the members are looking forward to the AMBank Enrich, don't jump the gun just yet until the full details are made available to public.

Yup - comparing previous CIMB PPL list on 20th Jun 24' vs the one on 16th Oct 24', the list expanded from 15 pages to 29 pages

Check the PPL qualifications in the respective product page. (i.e Maybank Krisflyer Amex and so on)
The answer to your questions are right there.

Heresay information is frowned upon here - next time please substantiate all claims with your personal experience and evidences. I don't fancy statements "I hear this and that from so and so" because anyone can claim anything without any basis of truth.

FYI, you can opt out for marketing communications in all credit card applications. Members please explicitly opt out of these marketing comms especially if you sign via agents where you may not be paying attention whereas the agent just tick this in your form. It is a major banking offence if these marketing comms comes in (where your PID is being used) without your explicit consent - hope this clarifies.

CIMB listed HK PPF accepted cards to be CIMB Preferred Visa Infinite, CIMB Preferred Visa Infinite-i, CIMB Travel World Elite, CIMB Travel World, CIMB Travel Platinum and CIMB Visa Infinite-I. Did it happened differently in your experience ?

OK. Card products may have different features once you go into specific sub-brands. You may have been able to enter the PPL but here you are seeking entry into PPF ?

Ahh .. UOB Metal. That's a totally different league altogether.
Just in case members started asking - this card is by invitation only.

The list of lounge access has been updated by CIMB - dated 25th Mar 25'. Link to list is available in CIMB website.
Yes, Miracle Lounge access has been removed as AoT made changes to how lounge operators can provide access to travelers.

This update came about when AOT updated the T&C of lounge operators in Thailand airports. MBB is not the only one making changes, all banks are - those with tie ups to Thailand lounge operators.

I guess this answer depends on the destinations that you will be flying from and your traveling patterns/behaviours among others. Have a view of what are your traveling patterns are and compare it with the lounge covered under Dragon Pass.

Generally this is a decent card if you fly internationally via KLIA 1 - 12 entries to a 3rd party lounge for yourself but if you want to bring someone as well, lounge hopping or even unlimited entries - this is not the card for such purpose.

If you are looking for a tip, I would say your lounge experience on that day would depends on the foot traffic that comes in into the lounge. if you are lucky, it will be relatively quiet and able to relax peacefully. If your time and date happens to have a lot of folks coming to the lounge, you will be hard pressed for seating (compounded if there are customers who put their bags on the already limited seats), a quiet ambience and worst if the cleaning staff are slow or nowhere to be found on that day.

Such a scene is not unusual even in the airline lounges nowadays let alone 3rd party/PPL lounges. Just too many folks hitting the lounges now and many are just coming in with poor behaviors spoiling the experience for many.

I'd advise you to read carefully and in detail the T&C and coverage information pertaining to Travel Insurance coverage provided by the credit card issuer and evaluate whether you will be happy with the coverage given. Understand the impact carefully should you opt (or not) for the given travel insurance.

The same advice I'd give to everyone in this forum - buy a separate travel insurance for yourself and family. Only have minimal dependency or better none on credit card issuer Travel Insurance. This is a friendly advice - I'm not endorsing nor promoting any travel insurance from any parties.
