Hi cuthatcard,
No one can tell you this for certain. Most likely, part of the answer depends on how recently you were approved for the other Synchony bank card. If it was within the last 4-6 months, I would say not to poke the bear.
It may also depend on whether you've been poking Synchrony for CLI's on the other card recently as well.
Personally I would not apply for any Synchrony cards if I did not have them already based on the inconsistent and negative behavior they have been displaying toward cardholders lately, but that's just my opinion.
They don't offer anything particularly special and their interest rates are very high, so those are other points to consider in your decision.

Gotta card I'm looking at...
My guess is what generates the blue envelope is folks who continuously apply for new credit, chasing the next new thing, and CLI's and therefore Sychrony who has every right gets nervous and whats to protect thier interests as the risk of defaults increases. CC issuers have the right to soft inquiry their members. I persoanlly have close to $100k with them and never had an issue. But my utility is always les than 10%
My co-worker has opened 7 Sync accounts in the past 6 months despite my advising him not to. He hasn't had a blue evelope yet and a couple of his cards are near max with them. I hope the hammer doesn't drop on him but wouldn't be shocked if it did.
For me, I have 2 Sync cards now, Sam's MC and Lowes...got rid of the rest of the dead weight I was carrying with them. I could honestly do without the Sam's MC but man, I'd sure hate to lose my Lowes card. It allows me to buy a lot of nice toys for the house interest free. Nothing like those 12-18 months no interest deals they seem to always run not to mention they'll price match and beat just about anyone you can find with the exact same item. Just picked up a new KitchenAid dishwasher last week...
I have only two Synchrony cards. Lowe's and PayPal. I wouldn't miss the PayPal card at all. The Lowe's is a different story! Lol
So far no issues with them. I've opened a lot of accounts the last 18 months. It didn't stop them from giving me two cli's on a new Lowe's account in the first 7 days of opening it.

I guess you can call me "IN-Sync" lol!. Everyone probably knows about my fascination with poking, strolling with, hand feeding the big bear but so far with my 7 accounts, i have not had any problems though most of my accounts were acquired before the big blue theory begin Lol!! . I would think 2 cards is fine so long its not back to back apps or there isnt something shaky with your profile. I say if its something you feel you need and is worth it to you go for it. Always keep in mind possibilty of Sync's blue pill and just accept it for what it would be. Eventually i'll reduce my card exposure as my profile thickens but for now ill use them without fear (already accepted fact if the blue me ill red them

I don't see an issue with 2 cards from them. I opened 3 within a 3 month period (Amazon Prime, Old Navy, and AE Visa) and have not had any issues. I've also gotten CLI's on them. I also PIF each month. I highly doubt they'll mess around with postage for a blue envelope for someone who has 2 cards with them
