      Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Amazon Business Prime American Express Card or US Bank Business Platinum Card?
      The Amazon Business Prime American Express Card has a public bonus ($125 Amazon.com Gift Card, worth roughly $125), while the US Bank Business Platinum Card doesn't advertise one right now.
      Is the Amazon Business Prime American Express Card's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the US Bank Business Platinum Card?

      Yes, since they're from different issuers (American Express and U.S. Bank) the application rules don't conflict. Many points enthusiasts hold both, they pair well when one earns flexible bank points and the other earns a different currency.
