I have a macys i was denied the year before, and a chase freedom that I was denied the year before when i found the signup bonus on slickdeals the first time around. Its not like you are rejected at a bar and they remember you next time around. Well to keep that analogy going, a year later you have gotten healthier right? If you have a drastic improvement in income or some baddies stricken from record its worth it to call and let the manual team go all over it because you have an argument there.
One other thing to add, I get your question, simply asking about denial and trying again, but if you are ever in the situation where one specific card or bank is no no no, and you have a credit score already in the low 700s and can get/have credit elsewhere, then do so and enjoy. There are enough cards out there with 0 percent for a year and great transfer offers and so on. I cant get a bofA or citibank, but ill swallow it and carry on.
