[Expired] Pepper: Get 10% Back on Amazon, 13% DoorDash, 21% Ulta, Sephora & More

Update: they added Sam’s Club now at 10% back; Airbnb is now sold out

The Offer

Pepper app is offering the following deals:

  1. Get 10% back on Amazon Fresh with no limit (these gift cards load into your Amazon account like regular Amazon gift cards)
  2. Get 10% instant discount on DoorDash, one-time use, max $400. Plus you’ll get the regular 3% back.
  3. Get 12% back on Southwest with no limit
  4. Get 15% back on Wayfair with no limit
  5. Get 20% back on Petco with no limit
  6. Get 21% back on Sephora with no limit
  7. Get 21% back on Ulta with no limit
  8. Get 21% back on Ace Hardware with no limit
  9. Get 9% back on Meijer with no limit

The standard Pepper points will be instantly available and the bonus Pepper points will be awarded on 9/23/24. You can see these deals in your messages tab or notifications tab, and you should see the bonus reflected on the checkout screen. These deals end either today or tomorrow, 9/5-9/6.

The Pepper points system is confusing, so let’s give an example: Let’s say, for example, that Pepper is offering 10x on Amazon. If you buy $100 in Amazon gift cards, you’ll get 8,000 points instantly (4x) which is worth $4 toward your next purchase; that’s 4% back. In a few weeks, you’ll get an additional 12,000 points which is worth $6 and is the same as 6% back. Altogether, you’ll end up with 10x back will is the same as 10% back. It’s easier to just avoid thinking about the points totals and focus on the ‘x’ back since that is the same number as the % back you’ll be getting (1x = 1% back; 10x = 10% back).

 

Our Verdict

Keep in mind that for most of these deals the bonus points won’t be available for a few weeks, and I wouldn’t recommend buying unless you can manage the risk of something going wrong with the bonus points posting a few weeks down the line. I’d recommend screenshotting and copying the gift card info immediately, and I’d also recommend using up the Pepper points quickly, since people have had issues logging in, etc.

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 there is no limit to most of these deals, you might be limited in overall quantities that can be purchased from Pepper in a day. So you might only get $2,000 or some other number until the app stops you. It’s sometimes possible to increase limits by calling in and verifying. And you might be able to buy again the next day as your limits reset.

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. (If you do a bonus offer, you’ll probably get double points on the base and single points on the bonus. E.g. if something typically earns 4x and there is now a 10x offer, you’ll probably get 14x total as the 4x gets doubled to 8x and then you get the bonus 6x on top.) No referral links or references in the comments below, please.

  • missed ulta which isn't a huge deal since i can usually get them for 20% off w happy choice, but 21% off sephora gift cards is unheard of ime. bought way too much lmao

  • Frankly, an effective 9% off everything on Amazon (except 3rd party GCs) is pretty darn excellent. While I am marginally concerned of the sustainability of these offers, seeing these posts doesn't feel too repetitive at this stage.

  • I am unable to see these deals anyone else have the same issue? I thought it was because I was a new member but even after the initial 15 days I don’t see anything when I go to the deals tab

  • Y'all need to make a separate site for this pepper nonsense. This is getting ridiculous. Do we really need an update on every change?

    • Haha, yeah, it's been like 3-5 times each week for the past bunch of weeks. I'm sure the gravy train will end eventually, hang in there :)
      Of course if readers aren't interested in these deals we won't post them. My guess is that readers are, but that's what we need feedback for!

      • I do earn $20 from every referral. I would also post a deal to get 10% off Amazon + credit card points (category) if we didn't earn anything.

    • Yap, I think DoC should update the existing post. Also, people should turn on notifications on the app. By the time the DoC updates them here, they are already outdated, not all the time though.

      • god forbid someone have feedback on a site they support. forgive me for not finding the value in repetitive posts about a ponzi app that will go belly up any day. I said the same things about Yotta 3 years ago and look what happened there.
