Everything is manually review by committee I believe once a week if i am not mistaken unless they have changed their UW.. Very conservative bank so hopefully you don't have alot of exposure on CC or balances and have a high TU fico score as well.  Also they would frown on say more than a few new accounts a year or every two years conservative level.  Hope this helps.

Re: Simmons Bank

If I had seen this before you apped, I would have suggested not applying just based on your recent posts.
As CC stated, they are very conservative and sensitive to almost everything 😂

Yes, in the past this was a "status" bank for the 0.0001% who knew about it, as it has a very high credit standard, and, in return, offered some very low interest rates .   Now there are several banks offering low rates, sometimes with OK rewards.   @galahad15  is the go to person on this forum for details....

Re: Simmons Bank

As @longtimelurker alluded to, their are more bsnks or Credit Unions with lower rate cards that are just as competitive if not more than Simmons. Im sure our research guru @Anonymous can spit out names like fire lol but honestly almost any Big bank should have some type of card thst can work for you. Ime for instsnce, id recommend joining Langley Federal Credit Union, they have an excellent low apr card that at the moment is sub 9%. Best of luck and again sorry for your denial.
