The standard Pepper points will be instantly available and the bonus Pepper points will be awarded on 11/14/24. 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.

I just signed up and do not see amazon at 12X. It is at 4X. Maybe it doesn’t allow it for new accounts?
Bought another $2k of Amazon gift cards. 12% + 2% cc = 14% discount, id do this all day. Liquidate with BFMR.
Trying not to draw a lot of attn to this, but has anyone had any issues flipping these? The other party has an issue w the card. Maybe the card wasn't activated?
Got the Amazon Fresh. Worked with my amex. Was able to redeem the amazon fresh for amazon gc
Amex keeps getting declined even after getting verified with secure key :( just opened my pepper account yesterday and have had two days of constant declines
Does it stack with Amex Amazon 30-5 Offer if buy Amazon GC?
I tried to refer people to use pepper but I notice it asks for id for the person now. I don't see it ask for id before
Transaction coded name as "Moocho", does it affect triggering Amex offer?
Coded that way for me, too. The next day, Amex sent me an email confirming that I redeemed the offer. "You recently used your Amex Offer: Pepper - Shopping Rewards App"
Amex credit posted 2 days later.
It will change to pepper later, but it hasn't triggered the offer yet for me.
it will trigger
The app won't accept my new SYW card. There is supposed to be some 3D authentication, but it doesn't appear. Someone else had this problem with an Amex card. Seems to be a Pepper problem.
Same issue. Called Citi and they don’t know what the 3D authentication is.
Yup. Haven't been able to get it working.
Can’t seem to get the proper transaction to go thru. It declines at pepper with 2 cards and not at other merchants.
