- Get 14% back on Lowe’s with no limit
- Get 15% back on Converse with no limit

- Get 18% back on Adidas with no limit

- Get 10% instant discount on DoorDash, plus the regular 3% back; this deal is valid 10/30 – 11/1 and is limited to $600 in purchases ($60 discount)
The standard Pepper points will be instantly available and the bonus Pepper points will be awarded on 11/15/24. 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; these deals only last one day and they often 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. (Update your app if you don’t see it.)
Our Verdict
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. There have 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 as soon as possible to be safe.
These deals stack well with the AmEx Offer for $15 off $50. 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.
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 during the referral period, some people report there being a stack of the two deals with double points on the base and single points on the bonus. Others report only the base gets doubled.) Please no referral sharing in the comments below.

New to pepper and so far I feel scammed. Only 1 of 3 purchases awarded the correct points.
Are you missing the bonus/promo points? Those post after a few weeks
Now I get locked out of my pepper app with "user not authenticated" error - asks them to call a helpline at 888.416.6161 and when I do, the phone hangs up saying no support agents are available. WTF kind of ponzi scheme are they running?
I've had a few times issues with getting locked out. Sometimes I end up connecting with support to unlock me, other times it somehow refreshes and I'm able to reset password without support
How are you able to connect with support? they dont answer the call and never call you back
I see no problem here
same situation here. No response from email support either.
12% off Amazon gift cards with a $15 of $50 via Amex is pretty hard to beat!
why I am seeing Amazon Fresh 4x?
Looks like it's back now
gone again? pretty annoying..
The deals almost never last past midnight, and often sell out early
Sold out.
Endpoint request timed out. This is a poorly written app.
“Endpoint request timed out.”
Any more dps on cards that give 3x-5x cashback on pepper, except Amex Business Gold, BofA Customized Cash Rewards card?
I did a 5$ transaction to see how Citi Custom Cash categories it.
let us know. Thanks!
Just checked. It posted but not in a category for 5% qualification for the custom cash.
Can I use amazon fresh gift cards on amazon purchases?
Yes
