The standard Pepper points will be instantly available and the bonus Pepper points will be awarded on 9/16/24. You can see these deals in your messages tab or notifications tab, and you should see the bonus reflected on the checkout screen. Most of these deals end today, 9/1/24.
The Pepper points system is confusing, so let’s give an example: If you buy $100 in Google Play gift cards, you’ll get 6,000 points instantly which is worth $3 and is the same as 3% back. On September 16th, you’ll get an additional 34,000 points which is worth $17 and is the same as 17% back. Altogether, the 20x back will equate getting 20% 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; 12x = 12% 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.
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.
