The standard Pepper points will be instantly available and the bonus Pepper points will be awarded on 11/21/24. 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 $20 back if you spend $200 within 15 days. Please no referral sharing in the comments below.
Does anyone know if the ‘Pending Points’ section gets updated immediately? Got a GC from a 12X deal and I only got the base points and I don’t see the bonus points in the ‘Pending Points’ section
Can I redeem pepper points and still get these bonuses? Or have to use cash to get these offers and better to save points for when there is no offer?
No, you do not earn points on points being used.
Signed up 3 days ago and have yet to see any of these bonus point offers and I check multiple times a day. I’ll end up having to buy a Zaxby’s gift card, and I don’t even know what that is.
It looks like the newer accounts, mine included, are not getting the bonus offers lately. Why do you have to buy a Zaxby card? I just bought an Amazon card without the bonus to use up my P2 Amex offer. Got lucky to use P1 earlier when the bonuses were showing.
I did the same, but have to spend $200 to get the new SUB of $20.
So why not just buy Amazon or a retailer you would use?
Tried to sign up via app, got network error twice on the phone number verification, and then account was ‘locked for security’.
Amazon and Amazon Fresh at 12% as of 3:25pm CST
Thanks for the DP, nothing for me so clearly these are targeted. Opened account 11days ago and only have seen deals 2 times the early days, I have been checking 4-5 times daily and no deals for the past week, except Zaxby’s.
I am confused. After several veeks after the purchase, the points are still NOT available for the next purchase. Anyone?
Under pending points, there was a date when available. Has the date passed and you haven’t received? I made a purchase in 10/30 with the bonus points available on 11/13.
cant add new card
I don’t see itm. Guessing it’s dead. It’s there a time these offers drop every day
I would also like to know if there’s a daily time when these drop.
has anyone noticed if pepper counts as online retailer for amex 3% CB?
random52 Yes, it counted at 3% on my Blue Cash card.
You are too late – Sams’ Club is already sold out for today.
