Update 4/24/25: Sam’s Club and Home Depot are also not able to be purchased with a credit card, only with Pepper points.
Original Post 2/25/25:
Pepper app stopped allowing card payment for Amazon gift cards. You can still buy Amazon gift cards and pay with your Pepper points balance.
They are also still carrying Amazon Fresh gift cards which can be paid for with a credit card.
A quick update on the Pepper customer service. I redeemed my points for Amazon GC on 2/25. The points were taken out immediately from my account. But gift card was not available afterwards, showing error message. Sent out the email to [email protected] and [email protected] on 2/26. It has been 3 weeks. I have been calling and messaging them on social media several times, no response at all. Then suddenly this morning I got an email from [email protected]. The taken points have been put back to my account. So if you want to give it one more try, contact moocho directly.
I just checked my Pepper app and the $20 SUB had posted, as promised. I immediately cashed out for $20 Amazon GC and added it to my Amazon balance. That plus the $30 Amex Offer means that I got about 25% “CB” on my $200 spend, not including the small amount I got in credit card rewards. Not bad.
Also, I now have 10X on Sam’s so it appears that
Celia 🔗 is correct that the only reason I wasn’t seeing the good offer (I had only 2X) was because I was in the initial 15 day period.
This is really the only snag that I’ve ran into so far and it’s my own fault for not researching old posts before jumping into Pepper: #2019314 .
Hopefully, Pepper will stay around for a while longer!
I will certainly not be 1 of those people that bashes
Chuck for posting about Pepper deals in the future. 😀
Am I the only one that is still able to buy Amazon GC with Pepper? The past week has been fantastic. Up to 18x points!
No offense but we won’t believe you unless you attach a print screen with a timestamp!
got 18x amazon
The $30 credit for the Amex Offer showed up as “MOOCHO MIAMI BEACH”. I guess that Moocho is the parent company of Pepper.
I just tried to add my BCE to the Pepper app. A message appeared telling me that I could only add 1 Amex card for this “offer”. That was an odd message as I wasn’t doing any “offer”.
Anyway, I removed my BCP from the app and tried again to add my BCE. I received the same error! Have any of you encountered this issue?
Fortunately, the app did let me add a 2nd Bac card to the app so this issue might only be related to Amex, for whatever reason.
There’s been several comments on not being able to add a second Amex and then not being able to put the original back. A few in this thread.
I guess that I should have asked my question before I hastily removed the 1st Amex then. 😀
Anyway, if I ever get targeted again for an Amex Offer I guess my only choice will be to create a new Pepper account. Before doing that, I’ll have to check if having multiple Pepper accounts is against their TOS.
Their customer service number is down. Can’t call. I am worried
The phone service is still down as of 3/6. Even when it was not down completely, there was just holding then leaving message option. It was impossible to talk to a real person. I sent out an email on 2/26. No response so far.
Still no response after 2 weeks. No body answer the call!
Uber 10x showing up now
Buying Amazon Fresh worked fine for me just now – loaded it right into my Amazon account!
Is this still working?
Pepper app sucks, no one responses to the call or email. My amex cards can never go through at check out.
I was planning to use Amex card to trigger Amex offer on Pepper.
What is the point of the Amex offer then I wonder.
Thanka for the dp. You saved me some time.
Delete cuz I don’t know how to type 😜
Not everyone has that issue. I’ve opened two accounts with Amex offers and no issues.
Did you mean to write “used” instead of “opened”? If so, did you get targeted a 2nd time on the same card after you used it or did you get targeted on 2 separate Amex cards?
P1 opened under Chucks referral, referred P2. Each had an Amex offer that I did not have an issue using.
