      Common questions

      Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Kohl's Card or USAA Eagle Navigator?
      The USAA Eagle Navigator has a public bonus (30,000 USAA Rewards points, worth roughly $300), while the Kohl's Card doesn't advertise one right now.
      Is the Kohl's Card's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the USAA Eagle Navigator?
      The Kohl's Card has no annual fee, so the question is whether the USAA Eagle Navigator's $95 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the USAA Eagle Navigator's benefits to clear $95 in value annually, it's worth it; otherwise stick with the Kohl's Card.
      Can I have both the Kohl's Card and USAA Eagle Navigator?
      Yes, since they're from different issuers (Capital One 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.
      Should I get the Kohl's Card or the USAA Eagle Navigator first?
      Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Kohl's Card: no published min spend. USAA Eagle Navigator: $3,000 in 3 months. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
