HSBC Live + Credit Card Application Rejected - Need Help

[mg71999]

HSBC Cashback, now Live+, has rejected my application. I called via IVR, but they didn't provide a reason. They advised me to reapply after 30 days.
I had applied through CashKaro.
1. Should I reapply directly from HSBC's website?
2. Are there any cards that are as good as or better than the HSBC Cashback card?

I mentioned other options, with other cards which compete with HSBC Live Plus

Ok, so 15.5% smartbuy 5x is for which card? It will be helpful if you mention card names as well next to rewards %
