It’s Monday, and that means that we’re seeing Amex publish a few new targeted offers today, and one of the potentially more useful travel-related offers that I can see in my accounts is this offer for a saving of up to 20% on a future Hertz rental.

Quick thoughts
As usual with these kinds of Hertz offer, only bookings within the US will trigger the rebate, so don’t make the mistake of thinking that a rental in Mexico or anywhere in the Caribbean will get you the rebate. Also, be aware that the terms and conditions indicate that the $350 of spending required to trigger the rebate doesn’t need to be made in a single rental (“spend a minimum of $350 in one or more qualifying purchases”).
Naturally, everyone should be loading this offer on the credit card that offers them the best combination of rental car cover and points earnings so even though I can see this offer on my Blue Business® Plus Credit Card from American Express, I’ve chosen to ean few points per dollar on my Hertz booking by loading it to my Platinum Card® from American Express.
If you don’t have the Platinum Card® from American Express but have this offer targeted to the American Express® Green Card, you may have to decide if you would prefer to forgo the saving on your next rental and use a card which would give you primary rental car cover and good points earning (like the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card), or if you are prepared to use your own insurance (should anything go wrong) and take the 3 points/dollar and the savings from the Amex offer that the American Express® Green Card would give you (terms apply).
Personally, I would probably use the American Express® Green Card and take the $70 saving if I was renting for a short period of time. For a rental of any notable length, the insurance cover that the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card gives would probably be more important to me than the saving from the Amex offer.

Bottom Line
Holders of targeted Amex cards who need to book and pay for a rental car before 30 April should check to see if they’ve been targeted to save $70 on $350 of spending with Hertz.
Before booking, however, cardholders should also consider if the saving being offered and the benefits that come with the Amex card that they plan to use outweigh the earnings and insurance cover offered by any of the other cards that they hold.
