Our Verdict
Nice discount from Pepper app. Reports are that Amex Business Gold to earn 4x if it’s one of your top two categories. And reports are that it counts as Online Shopping for BofA cards and Blue Cash card and ShopYourWay card. And it counts as Computer Software category for BofA Customized Cash Rewards cards and for 1.5x on the Business Platinum card.
Note: While these deals are unlimited, Pepper might put some limitation on how much volume you can order from your account overall. They might increase your buying power through the call-in verification.
My thanks if you enter my signup code 584255 during the initial signup process. Those who signup with a referral code get double Pepper points on all purchases for 15 days. (Not clear whether a bonus deal, like this Amazon one, will be doubled.) No referral links or references in the comments below, please.
I’m a little confused on the point value. I got an email that Amazon was 10x points, but I thought Pepper points were worth 0.5 cents… so wouldn’t 10x points be 5% back? Does 10x points = 10% back?
(I know this is expired, but it’ll be useful for next time!)
1x = 20 points per dollar spent = 1% back. 10x = 200 points per dollar spent = 10% back.
Oh well. I got $1k. Should have gotten more
Same here.
Their business model is definitely not sustainable, someone is eating the cost here and it’s not Amazon.
Signed up just now for a new account (using your referral code!). Amazon is not showing up as having any special deal, though I do see hotels.com among others having a 10x promo for today. Bummer. Bought a bit anyway just to test out the app.
I think they ended it early? Says “sold out”. Damnit I was debating how much to get
Oh man I just spent a couple grand on Amazon through pepper a few days ago, would’ve loved this
I think Amazon is done. I kept getting 3d secure lockout from BOA and by the time I got it unlocked it was gone from the app.
What is the normal percentage back when there isn’t a promotion for certain merchants? I’m trying to determine if buying a gift card for Amazon or any other merchant is better using Pepper or another discount gift card site. It mentions points are earned, but I’m trying to figure out the percentage and how they convert to each other.
Amazon used to be 5%, recently it’s been 4% regularly
What is the percentage normally when they don’t have any promotions on brands? Is it the same amount on all gift card purchases?
It’s not whole 08/13 , email they sent says 11 et onwards . Unfortunately I created new account earlier in the day and bought $250 worth of Amazon . Got only 20k points which is standard 2x
