The standard Pepper points will be instantly available and the bonus Pepper points will be awarded on 11/13/24. 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.
Are they all dead now, or just crossed out ones? I can’t check anything without signing up. Thanks.
I am only seeing amazon and amazon fresh at 4x. Where do people see the 15x?
yeah it must not have lasted long, was dead for me hours ago
Is it possible to use the digital Walmart/Sam’s gift cards from Pepper at the Walmart/Sam’s gas stations?
Yes for Walmart gas station, save the gift card to Walmart app
These are limited to ONE transaction! Max out the first time…
I’m guessing the promo just expired in between your two purchases?
I don’t recall there being a single-purchase limit in the past and the fine print doesn’t sound that way either
Adding new payment methods is working again (at least for me on an Android). Also Amazon Fresh 15x is available.
can u purchase? i’m trying with my chase hyatt card and it keeps saying card declined
Yes, I could! Even with my new payment method that I just added.
William Charles Amazon fresh is back at 15 pct.
I’ll add, thx
Trying to stack with the Amex Offer (spend $50, get $15) and it is beyond annoying. It brings up some sort of integrated Amex Safekey fraud thing where it asks me to approve the transaction in the app or enter a code they send to my phone/email.
Once I do that, it says “great, we know it’s you, you can go back to checkout in your app now”.. but once I do, Pepper says Amex has declined the transaction. Try it again, and it makes you go through the entire fraud process again (even though you just proved to Amex it was you 15 seconds ago on the first transaction), and once you again prove it’s you you get declined again. Rinse, repeat, over and over.
Never had an issue with any of my chase cards.
I had to do this the other day. I only had to do it once on Android. Charge posted just fine.
I also have an Android (3 year old Samsung), just did a Doordash order with Amex card about 30 minutes ago and didn’t have to go through any additional fraud steps. I’ve already redeemed the GC.
Sam’s is already gone
Looks like Sam’s club was added and Amazon is gone as of 11:50AM CST.
I’ll update
BOO!!! I was waiting for them to resolve the issue with adding a new card so I could buy some Amazon gift cards.
this happened to me to. i went to buy amazon as soon as support told me the outage was over and it was not longer elevated
Just spoke with customer service and confirmed they are having an outage. TBD on resolution time.
