Hot Tip:

If you haven’t already, you should sign up for the Alamo Insiders loyalty program so that you can earn additional rewards on your rental car purchase.

Stack With Rakuten for More Cash-Back or Rewards

As a reminder, it is always worth checking cash-back portals like Rakuten, Capital One Shopping, AAdvantage eShopping, etc., to see if you can score some additional cash-back rewards when you book travel or purchase products online.

Currently, Rakuten users can earn 1.5% cash-back when making purchases through Alamo Rent-a-Car. This means that, on a $250 car rental, you’ll not only earn the $50 statement credit with your Amex offer, but a further $3.75 in cash-back through Rakuten.

Note that Rakuten also allows users with an American Express Membership Rewards card linked to their account to earn Amex Membership Rewards instead of cash-back on their purchases. This means you could opt to earn 375 Membership Rewards points on this purchase, which we value at $8.25 based on our valuations.

Final Thoughts

If you were planning on purchasing a rental car for an upcoming trip anyway, and Alamo offers competitive pricing for your dates, then you might as well take advantage of this offer to save $50 on your car rental with Alamo.

Remember that your rental must be completed and paid for by March 7, 2025, and make sure you take advantage of cash-back portals during booking as well.
