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?

QUOTE(Cookie101 @ Mar 19 2019, 06:56 PM) 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.

QUOTE(sj0217 @ Mar 20 2019, 12:47 PM) 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 ?? QUOTE(limeuu @ Mar 20 2019, 02:13 PM) QUOTE(charlesj @ Mar 20 2019, 05:05 PM) Yes, after 12mn is a different day. You can also dine at TGM at 11pm (close at 1am) and then T1 lounge after 12... sure? boarding pass is at 18/7 or 19/7 so can only enter on one day, not?

QUOTE(limeuu @ Mar 20 2019, 07:24 PM) There is no rule that limits entry to day of departure only....a flight may be 2am, and you can enter at 10pm the day before..... I have transited overnight at Changi, ate dinner at tgm, then overnight at ppl..... As long as you use within the eligibility of your cards.... if no rule, can use one week ago's boarding pass to go in PPL?

QUOTE(laymank @ Mar 21 2019, 11:03 AM) the last time I used was last week. Was back from international travel. The staff just took my boarding pass and waved against the reader. I am not sure if it checks against domestic or international flight, though. RHB TNC written very clearly its for international flight only.

what is the hour before departure will the baggage drop counter open for domestic / international flight? what is the hour before departure will the self-bag drop open for domestic / international flight? QUOTE(ClarenceT @ Mar 21 2019, 11:23 AM) I can't find "International" for PPL KLIA2. we are talking about RHB cards accessing TGM https://www.rhbgroup.com/~/media/files/mala...0119.ashx?la=enThis post has been edited by skty: Mar 21 2019, 12:34 PM

QUOTE(limeuu @ Mar 21 2019, 01:22 PM) There was a contention whether that refers to the type of travel, or the location.... The gateway lounge was silent, and I have just established that the rhb contract with the lounge still cover domestic travels....maybe someone can go ask tgm about this..... refer back to the TNC, for gateway PPL, never mention only restrict to international flight only. so domestic still can use. however, TGM mention international. Domestic i think most probably cannot. if someone could confirm then it's even better.

QUOTE(limeuu @ Mar 21 2019, 06:21 PM) In the past, yes.....even after the change in rules (which wasn't very clear about this) it was still possible to bring a guest using the other card in September last year (personal experience)..... What we need is to test it in real life....so maybe someone can try it out now and let us know..... i tried it during september 2018, where i have one Ambank Signature World Master Card & one Ambank Signature Visa Infinite Card, cannot

QUOTE(limeuu @ Mar 24 2019, 09:32 PM) 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.... I just came back from KK. my colleague just use his CIMB preferred VI to access at KKIA PPL and KLIA2 TGM today.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Mar 31 2019, 01:37 PM) Yes, usually GL is for business class travellers and now can get free vouchers to enter. I like their laksa.  QUOTE(limeuu @ Mar 31 2019, 01:54 PM) It is debatable whether the GL or a PPL is better, it depends on the location.... GL is mas's business class lounge....entry is either business class travellers, or enrich gold and above frequent flyer (travelling any class)...,plus all equivalent oneworld travellers (business class ticket or sapphire/emerald status)....the international lounges at KLIA are ok, but the domestic ones, including KCH, kk are rather basic, food wise.... On the other hand, some PPL are very good (eg HK, aerotel, Changi) some very bad (wellness spa, ppl l pier)..... thanks. I just back from KK and saw there is GL beside PPL for domestic flight. never go in to see so wouldn't know. so GL just serving almost same food as PPL? no free beer/alcohol drink?
