U mean the same cheapo u got ? Your std is very high then !

as mentioned b4, cimb preferred visa infinite is indeed free for life. no min swipe required for lounge access but limited to only 4 per annum. neighbouring countries though are unlimited i.e. singapore, thailand, indonesia.

ambank is supposedly free for life too. no minimum swipe. used it a couple of times without ever charging the card even once to gain access to lounges. and that's to bring my +1,2 & 3 in. lol. myself i use my cimb card to get in. go figure. thankfully no charge.

so i guess for cheapo method, getting both these cards for airport lounges work wonders. ambank for local lounges, cimb for neighbouring lounges. for more coverage on international lounges, probably need the uob prvi card or citibank card for more access

sorry, i am a cheapo. maximising cards for free access without any spendings.

very nice.
i never get any single thing at all ever.

not a festive card, not a hamper, not even ang pau packets.

duh!

transition of rm time, it was quite some time and i called up centre asking who is my rm. the response was a classic.

"so sorry sir, there's no rm assigned to you. it would seems there's an error in the system hence you did not receive anything for the past 1+ year because the system did not assign anybody." lol

guess they detected my constant cheapo abuse of their loopholes and they pull a fast one back on me.

Haha...
Now that's funny.. even funny when they dare to tell u that u are unassigned

Have not been to AmBank for a long while. Their ABM has been pestering me to support her for FD deposit. While their rates has not been very good for the past 1.5 years.

Was thinking of getting AmBank Visa Infinite. RHB RM also said they have Visa Infinite. Once the 2 merge, not sure if the same benefit still there or RHB has upper hand ?

oh yeah been meaning to add but forgotten.

remember the almost cimb/rhb merger that did not materialise.

who knows that this rhb/ambank merger will be called off again too?

lol.

ambank have been quite innovative of late.
their car financing is pretty strong in the market.
rhb have been superly boring the last few years or decades. nothing exciting at all.

RHB has impressed me on their assigning their PB before they applied for it. At the same time that they are holding the member get member campaign !! I was thinking of recommending friends/relatives. But u know what, they then was assigned immediately, no referral bonus !

Actually for overseas, I'm not sure what is the difference between Ambank & CIMB preferred as Ambank is also valid in many countries & is unlimited.

If you need more free access, I just found out you can join their new Arrture Loyalty Programme. You can swipe even with the free access using credit card.
With enough points, you can get a free entry too.

Rhb investment ans osk ma

No love for the UOB PB VI? The DragonPass access is interesting. Wonder if it is offered together with the PB membership or have to apply separately.

OK, today called AmBank ABM. She keeps on pestering me to support her to apply for the Visa Infinite card. Free gift Transformer Al Sports Bottle.

Went to place FD and sign up for Visa Infinite card. She confirmed no need to swipe for the free card. But have to apply for TWO cards, one Conventional and the other Islamic cards. She said after 6 mths can cancel one of them. It is the requirement to get the free gift. Saw the display models, about 6 different colours. Looks pretty nice. So signed up to get the card.

Went to UOB to enroll to their PB programme but the whole team is away for training or something Plan to get the PB VI too

When I joined UOB PB few years back, the RM never mentioned on the Visa Infinite card to me. I also not interested due to the RM50 per year fees imposed at that time. But for SCB and OCBC their VI card comes with certain conditions.

Is UOB VI card free ? I think it would comes with certain conditions.

Cannot find any details on the annual fee from the website but checking through the redemption catalogue, the normal VI annual fee is RM600 while the PB versionis not listed. I need to ask them about this the next time I go.

If not wrong, both SCB and OCBC VI yearly fee is RM800+ when I asked them 2/3 years ago. OCBC one cannot waive, that is what the PB centre told me.

Hehe let's see whether this UOB one is free as long as the pb status is maintained. will update here

There is no annual fee for UOB PB Visa Infinite. Its waived

cool! thanks for the information

does CIMB preferred members have to apply for the VI or it comes with the preferred membership ar guys?

Comes together.
