This math assumes $400/year at Hertz and an empty wallet.
Your real answer depends on everything you spend and the cards you already carry. Kiwii Match runs this same math across your actual spending and tells you which card or combo earns you the most, and what you're missing per year with the cards you have now.

- Requires a Costco membership, $65 per year and up, which is not counted in the math above.
- The 3% rate at Hertz depends on how this merchant is coded by the card network, which can change.
- Point cards are valued at their cash redemption rate (Wells Fargo Rewards Points at 1¢ per point). Transfer or portal redemptions can be worth more; that upside is not counted.
Hertz is categorized as Rental Cars for rewards purposes, which is what determines the bonus rate most cards pay here.
