The Simmons Rewards Visa Signature® offers flat-rate rewards and benefits and perks are limited, so not much strategy is required. It might be a decent card to pair with other cards that earn bonus points in specific categories but only 1 point per dollar on other purchases. With this card, you’ll earn a slightly higher base rate of 1.25 points per dollar.
Editor’s Take
If you want to earn rewards on your spending, other cards have better earning potential, including flat-rate cards that earn 1.5 or two points per dollar spent. And while the welcome bonus is decent, you’ll have to do a good amount of spending to get it. Overall, the Simmons Rewards Visa Signature® has lackluster rewards and benefits.
