It feels like the ludicrously generous targeted offers from Capital One Shopping are never-ending. After checking pricing for a rental car on Hertz’s website the other night, I got an email from Capital One Shopping offering $125 back when spending $275 or more on a rental.

Quick Thoughts
I imagine some readers are tired of us covering Capital One Shopping deals, but it’s hard to ignore outrageously generous deals like these. If you were targeted for this offer and your Hertz rental was $275 or just over that, the $125 back would represent a return of ~45%.
Now, it’s not a true 45% rebate seeing as earnings from Capital One Shopping can only be redeemed for a selection of third party gift cards, but it is a much better rate than you’re likely to get from any other shopping portal.
That said, keep an eye out for other types of targeted offers. For example, Nick’s been getting repeated targeted offers from Capital One Shopping for 36% back at Hertz. If you happened to be targeted for both the $275/$125 offer and the 36% offer, you’d actually do better picking the 36% offer for a rental costing $348 or more.
