Simmons First Visa Platinum

Review: The Simmons First Visa Platinum card is good if you need a low interest rate, have excellent credit, and plan on transferring many balances over the course of more than a year.  The low interest rate may be an attractive alternative to those with other high interest loans as it costs nothing to transfer the balance to this card.

Simmons First Platinum Visa Rewards

Review: The Simmons First Platinum Visa targets a very specific group: those with excellent credit and a desire for a low interest rate.  Its best feature is no-fee balance transfers.  That said, due to high credit score requirements, unless the fairly average travel rewards program woos you, this card is only may not be for you.

Our Rating: 4 stars Balance Transfer (APR):...
