Our Verdict

Recently there have been targeted offers of $400+, there hasn’t really been public offers since 2014 (apart from this brief $100 offer). So if you haven’t been targeted and are looking for a bonus in the short term from Capital One 360 this is probably your best option. These bonuses are once per lifetime, so personally I’d wait for one of the higher targeted bonuses to come around than settle for one of these small $100 bonuses. There is also a $200 targeted bonus that some people have had success in getting.
