Hi everyone,
I’m considering applying for the MCB(RDA) Visa Platinum Credit Card in Pakistan, mainly because of its complimentary airport lounge access facility.

I live in Germany and travel internationally, especially between Germany and Pakistan, with connecting flights through airports such as Dubai, Doha, or Istanbul. I would also sometimes like to use the lounges with my wife or a guest.

I’d really appreciate feedback from people who currently have or have previously used this card.

A few questions:
1. How good is the actual airport lounge access? Which airports and lounges have you personally used it at?
2. Does it work at major European airports such as Berlin, Frankfurt, and Munich, as well as Dubai, Doha, and Pakistani airports?
3. How many complimentary lounge visits do you really get per year, and is there any international spending requirement?
4. Can I take my wife or a guest for free, or do I have to pay extra for them?
5. Are there any hidden charges, annual fees, or other conditions that I should know about?
6. Overall, is this card worth getting specifically for international airport lounge access, or would another Pakistani bank’s card be a better option?
I’m particularly interested in real user experiences rather than the bank’s advertised benefits.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

Salam folks,
I am in a bit of a pickle and was wondering if anyone has some advice.
I applied for my very first Pakistan passport at the Pakistani embassy in Washington D.C. on July 6th. It states that the processing time is anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. However, I still haven’t gotten mine. it’s about to be close to 4 months and nothing. I need it to register for Hajj before November 20th. Does anyone have any advice to whom I might be able to contact to expedite my application?

I have already opened a complaint two times and no response. This is my daughter's nicop that I am applying for the first time she is 6 months old. I have attached the image as when I click on the application this is what I get, I am so confused even though when I go to edit the application there's no option for any forms for me to upload, please advice!
