Combination of Credit card Rewards

So I'm wondering if we can't combine cashbacks on the same card. 
For example:
If I applied for the Amazon Platinum card and I used that on its own, I will earn points which I can turn into Amazon voucher. 
If I applied for a Curve Cash Card I can get cashback by using that card. 

But if I combine the two, ie, add the Amazon Platinum card to Curve and use the Curve card, will I get both cashback and Amazon points?

    Yes, at least that is how it works with Curve linked to Aqua Card.

    You will earn the amazon reward points at the lower rate (0.5 per £2), as transaction is with curve not Amazon.

    Yes, but that only matters on transactions at Amazon.

    Same is true for Tesco Bank cards at Tesco, Sainsbury's Bank cards at JS etc etc

    One thing to remember that if you are planning to link curve to you CC you would lose S75 protection on these purchases. Also making life a lot harder should you need to dispute a purchase for any reason.
