The Offer
- For Prime Day (July 16-17), Pepper app is offering 1.5x points on Amazon gift card purchases.
Our Verdict
Regular points gives you 5% back toward a future purchase. This deal will give you 7.5% back. You should get 5% back to use immediately and the other 2.5% back come on August 1st. This deal appears to be unlimited; it’ll be clearly marked at checkout that you are getting 1.5x points.
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.
My thanks if you enter my signup code 584255 during the initial signup process. New signups get double points (10% back) on all Pepper purchases for 15 days. No referral links or references in the comments below, please.
In for 1k
Everytime I try to use Pepper it says “declined for unknown reason” … is there some way to make this work that I’m missing. AMEX Biz Gold and now CCR give the same result even though I’ve used CCR on Pepper app before.
Staples $200 visa with registered zip do not work with Pepper as of this morning 7-17-24
I just tried and it worked with Mastercard $200 from Staples.
Just signed up with your promo code. Does this stack with the 10% cashback as a new user? (I assume not).
Aside, I don’t have AMEX Biz Gold, Blue Cash, and only have Alaska BofA card. My best card is probably to use a catch all Venture X card for 2x back.
it does not. for reference its 10% of points as back but its only 5% in $$$ savings.
how do you use the points? I see I have 7,300 but when I purchase any gift cards the option to use points is gray out
need 10000
Thanks. I ended up buying ~$2500 and use it to buy things on BFMR
There were many reports that said don’t use Amazon gift card balance for buying group purchases on Amazon as it risks Amazon account shut down.
Can confirm that Amazon shut me down multiple times for this!
Do they take Metabank Visas from Staples?
Yes, and MC
Have you tried both?
Even though I’ve registered the card ($200 Visa from Staples) on https://mygift.giftcardmall.com/
It tries to verify with Visa during the checkout and gives me the error.

Oops. It looks like you failed your credit card’s 3D Secure challenge. Please try again and be sure to complete the challenge.

There is no challenge, though; it opens and closes some splash screens very fast. (Android/Chrome)
Got deactivated and called, CSR said that they have problems with prepaid cards, and I tried a few more times with smaller amounts while on the phone w/ them w/ no luck.
I love their CS, though
P.S. Old Mastercard GC from probably Staples worked w/$200
Stack with BofA Biz card 4% everywhere. Sweet!
Business Advantage Customized Cash Rewards credit card? Office supply category?
If you buy a $100 Amazon gift card, you earn 7,500 points, which can be used to purchase $3.75 worth of gift cards. This translates to a 3.75% cashback. Am I understanding this correctly?
Wrong. You earn 10k points upfront and 5k paints at date indicated in T&Cs. So you can purchase $7.5 gift card with points earned from $100 purchase.
You’ll get 10000 points now and 5000 points later. This is 7.5% back.
Will this stack with new user 10% bonus? In other words, will new users get 12.5% back? Or possibly even 15%?
No. Will be new user bonus only.
Didn’t stack for me for other 2x deals last month.
