The Offer
Pepper app is offering the following deals:
- Get 12% back on Amazon Fresh with no limit (these are the same as Amazon gift cards)
- Get 20% back on PetSmart with no limit
The standard Pepper points will be instantly available and the bonus Pepper points will be awarded on 11/18/24. 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 noticed yesterday that one of the banners says the new signup offer is $20 off of $200 for 15 days. Am I the only one who can't click on those banners to get the offer details?
Since signing up, I've seen the "double pts for 15 days" offer and the "$20 off of $200" offer. I wonder if they'll try to get out of paying the double pts...or if this is stackable. @6
Oh interesting. It does look like they changed the signup offer from double points to $20. (I don't see the double points anymore at all. I'm guessing any reference hasn't been updated, but let's see.
I'll update, thx
anyone having troubles to get hold of Pepper, calling for two days, left voice, they never call back
I emailed them 6 days ago to get details about the bonus, and still no response.
Anyway to get offers to show
New account
I saved so much money from this app getting Amazon gift cards with referral codes from referral codes dot com
It's not 16% back, it's 16x points which is 8%. Please correct the post.
16x
X=2
16 x 2 =32 points equal to 16% off
wrong
it's 16%. if you buy $100, you get 32,000 points which can be redeemed for $16 in gift cards
16x points is 16%, their base is 2 points per $, so 16x points is 32 points per $
newish acct (~2 weeks) and I only see 4x for Amazon AND Fresh (another DP of new accts not seeing the boosts)
Thanks for leading us to good stuff as always, DOC!!!
the amazon fresh at 16% sells out incredibly fast, usually by early morning. the only time i've been able to get it was once when i saw it was on the app and it hadn't been posted onto any blogs. i'd advise checking the deals in pepper in the morning to see what the day's deals are if you're trying to get an amazon one
Does Pepper work with Apple pay?
Very strange. My wife's Pepper app doesnt show any of this top deals while mine has all of them. Anybody know why it is this?
This just started happening to me today...all the deals in my account and nothing in my wife's account. Concerning :(
They did say that they had a glitch for about 2 hrs. Maybe this is part of it?
Looks like new/newer accounts aren't being shown these deals
I wish they would just cap the amount you can buy from a sale instead of just all of their their VC money to gc resellers and MS people
Thanks. Was just about to post that. I thought that I was soft-banned bc of my purchases. I have had no offers all day. Kind of annoyed now bc I may miss out on the double points for new members.
You'd think they would know better. If I was an investor in their platform I would be livid. No path to profitability.
Anyone know exactly what time the deals go live? Is it like 10:30 or 11:00am EST?
I checked my Amex and the charge was under "Moocho" (https://site.moocho.com/). Is it another name for Pepper App?
Yes, and the $15 credited very quickly.
yes.
Thx!
