The Offer
Pepper app is offering the following deals:
- Get 14% back on Lowe’s with no limit
- Get 14% back on Airbnb with no limit
- Get 15% back on Netflix with no limit
- Get 15% back on Converse with no limit
The standard Pepper points will be instantly available and the bonus Pepper points will be awarded on 10/1/24. 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 tomorrow, 9/10/24.
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. Also note that it is sometimes difficult to track down exactly which Pepper points are posting down the line.
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.
not seeing elevated offer for Airbnb any more

Is it ok to use an Amex I’m working on SUB for? Bonvoy brilliant currently.
Anyone else having issues with Pepper, I was logged out and can’t log back in as the verification code via text isn’t working.
Happened to me yesterday as well. Reached out to support email this AM with no update yet.
I’m trying to sign up for the first time, and I can’t get past the first screen. I enter my info, click Continue, and nothing happens.
I feel like I’ve read here and elsewhere about folks getting locked out of their account.
Just happened to me and I reached out to support and will update when/if I hear back.
No crazy spending or anything like that. Had used it to assist hitting a couple signup bonuses for credit cards 2 months ago and since had been using it for everyday things.
How often does the Airbnb offer come around?
I’m currently working on SUB for my Chase card. Apparently, that won’t work on Pepper, but I could use my next card. However, I am soon making reservations at Airbnb, so I’d like to have the discount, ideally while on SUB for a different card.

anyone got the referral double points?
ordered some last Friday, still no double points yet.
When do the double points for the first 15 days show up?
When do the double points for the first 15 days show up?
I believe it’s after 30 days
the key, inexcusable problem with Pepper is that the receipt you get won’t spell out just what points / coins you’re to get and when….. or even confirmation of what the deal was you actually got. (You’re left guessing/hoping.) Pepper knows they have a problem — more and more bloggers are (belatedly) pointing these bizarre issues out. Pepper has started to spell out more of the details, but pathetically and woefully (and again, inexcusably) incomplete
The offer terms tell you when you’ll receive the bonus points. It’s not that difficult
just take a screenshot before you purchase it. i screen record just in case
I got my bonus points from the promo that matures today aka 9/9 :D! Did sam’s club at 10x, and got the 8x today :)!
