[Expired] Pepper: Get 10% Points Back on Amazon & Sam’s Club; 12% Lowe’s; 15% Chipotle (Stack With AmEx Offer)

The Offer

Pepper app is offering the following deals:

1. Get 10% back in points on Amazon with no limit; offer valid February 24 through March 2 Amazon no longer allowed with card payment
2. Get 10% back in points on Sam’s Club with no limit (these are the same as Walmart gift cards); offer valid February 24 through March 2
3. Get 15% back in points on Chipotle with no limit; offer valid February 24 through March 2
4. Get 12% back in points on Lowe’s with no limit; offer valid February 24 through March 2

The standard Pepper points will be instantly available and the bonus Pepper points will be awarded for these deals on 3/17/25. You can see these deals in your messages tab or notifications tab. Be sure that you should see the bonus reflected on the checkout screen; deals might sell out early.

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).

You’ll see a tab in the app called ‘Points History’ which will clearly show which points have posted and which points are pending. 

Our Verdict

This stacks nicely with the AmEx Offer to get $30 back on $75 spend.

Keep in mind that for most of these deals the bonus points won’t be available for a few weeks, and it’s not worth buying unless you can manage the risk of something going wrong with the bonus points posting a few weeks down the line.

Reports are that Amex Business Gold  to earn 4x if it’s one of your top two categories as part of the Computer Software category. And it counts as Computer Software category for BofA Customized Cash Rewards cards for 3%/5.25% and for 1.5x on the Business Platinum card. And reports are that it counts as Online Shopping for BofA cards and Blue Cash card and ShopYourWay card and the legacy Citi AT&T card. And reportedly it counts as Tech for 5% on the Paypal debit 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. For example, you might only be able to buy $2,000 or another amount 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.

People have increasingly been reporting issues (since December 2024) with getting in contact with Pepper reps when issues arise. There have also been times when people have had issues logging in; therefore, I’d recommend screenshotting and copying the gift card info immediately. I’d also recommend using up the Pepper points quickly to be safe.
