      Yes, since they're from different issuers (American Express and USAA) 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.

      Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Amazon Business Prime American Express Card: $0 spend in 0 months. USAA Eagle Navigator: $3,000 in 3 months.
