Besides the mentioned Amex Plat Charge, SCB VI for Priority Banking, Maybank Visa Infinite both offer unlimited PP.

I'm sure the other top-tier credit cards do as well, but these I know for sure.

SCB VI got unlimited PP and no annual fees (I was never asked to pay for 2 plus years and I spent very little as I used Manhattan more), for your spouse and childrens you can apply for "Household Recognition" for them to join and get VI and PP free. No free limo service to/from airport or free JetQuay access.

Maybank VI also got unlimited PP and first year annual fees waiver, and free two-way airport limo service for 6 times a year but no free Jetquay access.

Stanchart VI through priority banking with 200k AUM or apply through 192k per annum/16k per month income? I thought they'll give in to only PB client, I supposed you're one of their priority banking client to enjoy fee waiver year after year...

Care to share? Thanks.

For those who fall below the $50K spending in 2012 can call HSBC for extension of the deadline. I called them to check on my 2012 spending, they told me I spent $38K. They voluntarily extend the deadline for me till Feb 15 to clock in the $50K. But I doubt I can clock in $12K within 6 weeks.

You think they'll offer the same to me for thr 75k for higher miles rate? I'm still a few k short...

Just received my HSBC VI with the PP. I was about to send in my application for the PP through my Maybank VI.

Since the PP appears to be a separate card from the credit card, what happens if I apply for PP through another bank card ? Apart from the Maybank VI, I am getting the SCB VI shortly as well and all of the cards are entitled to PP.

Anyone tried this before ?

To avoid any delay, better apply PP with the form sent from the bank.

Sorry my question was that I already got my PP card from HSBC. So technically can I apply for PP again with another bank's VI ?

Theoretically, since some cards have limit to number of lounge visits allowed, how do they track access charged to which VI ?

Yes you can have more than one PP, I have 2 (one from SCB and one from Maybank). Some lounges only allow one PP per visit, some allow multiple PP (they dont care who is using the lounge).

Why need more than 1? I thought these VI issued PP are unlimited visits per calendar year? Like Amex Platinum Charge card?

Some lounges also have time limits (eg 2 hours). So if you need to stay longer than that, a second card will help.

All the unlimited entry cards will charge if you bring a guest with you. Some staff will close one eye if you have 2 cards and use one card to swipe for the guest.

Can I check if anyone has used the "Meet & Greet Service" at Seoul's Incheon airport? Do you get to use the expedited immigration clearance or is it just escorting to the immigration area and wait in queue? Thanks.

Is LHR Airport's No. 1 Lounge (Terminal 3) one of those lenient types? :o

Jet quay if travelling with family can use?

Depends on how many family members you are travelling with. I believe you can bring 2 guests and also children below the age of 5 are free, but check with the CSO when booking.

Yah, its good to check with them, but the last time I checked, the children below 5 constitutes as a guest..

Just renewed my HSBC VI - they are using the 75k points (+100 of my own points) to offset the annual fee...

CSO says PP is still free - correct?

Receive a promotional marketing material from HSBC via snail mail:

With your HSBC Visa Infinite Card, you already enjoy 1 air mile for every S$1 charged locally**. From 1 November to 15 December 2012, you can now receive 2 air miles for every S$1 charged in Singapore.

Simply spend a minimum of S$10,000 locally on your HSBC Visa Infinite card to qualify. You can also continue to enjoy 2 air miles for every S$1 spent overseas.


** This excludes fund transfers, cash advances, finance charges, late charges and fees and tax payments via HSBC tax payment facility.


Has anyone been credited with the extra miles for this promotion? They ran this in Nov/Dec.
