Firstly, soon all Direct Access cards will be converted to CIMB cards.

The Clear Card is good for movies. If your application is still not shown in the system next week. Go apply online directly via Citibank website. But please be aware, the Clear Card FREE Movie Benefit is really good if you go to the movies every week with a partner but many have reported it is tough for the annual fee to be waived for subsequent years. So, if you really go to the movies every week, the savings you get is much more than the annual fee and you would be more than happy to pay it. But if you go to the movies once a month, then different story, no point getting the card. And Citibank do have many promos for shopping and dining but that is to entice you to spend more.

For general usage and on weekends, the Maybankard 2 Gold card is really good for spending up to RM1000/month. The MBB2 Amex earns you 5% cash back every Saturday and Sunday plus 5X UNLIMITED Treats Points everyday. The 5X TP itself is already very good. It works out to be 2% cash back based on 12,500 TP = RM50 cash voucher.

OIC, you applied online, I am surprised it is still not in their system. But since you do go to the movies every week, worthwhile to wait and even resubmit the necessary documents if so required.
