Wait until your transactions are confirmed on both networks, and check
that they have different transaction IDs. If you cannot use the
command line with the --onechain option, check the ID using a block
explorer website.

You need to check that the transaction IDs are different, because this
method is not guaranteed to work (although it should work most of the
time). It will fail if your transaction is confirmed on the Core chain
before you bump its fee, or if a malicious BU miner decide to confirm
the second transaction, despite it not being normally accepted by BU
nodes. If this method fails, you will only lose the mining fee, and a
bit of time. If the BU chain is faster than the Core chain (or has
lower fees), you may increase your chances by waiting until BU
confirms your transaction before you bump its fee on Core.
