With the house move approaching really shortly and therefore new expences coming it is now the time for me to get one of those 5% for first 3 months.
There are 2 very similar cards that I can not decide between. These are:

1.Capital One Aspire Business Credit Card.

2.American Express Platinum Cashback Everyday Card.

My current situation with credit cards is:
I have a Halifax 1% cachback on any purchases. It has limit of £1,300 credit card.
I also have a Luma cashback card which pays 4% on the first £225 per month spent in supermarkets. This card has a limit of £1,500.
There is also Aqua Reward cc which is used for expences abroad only. The limit is £800.

All of the above cards are repaid in full every month.

Capital one card hence it is a Mastercard looks slightly more attractive than Amex, however I am not sure if having a Luma card which is part of Capital One could make an affect of me being unable to get a Capital One card.

So really I am looking for an advice as of which card I should go for.

    what about both?
    i use Amex Cashback and usually have a non-Amex card in my wallet too..currently CapOne Elite, but the Aspire Business is a decent option
