Tips & Ideas
As with all these Pepper Rewards deals, you only earn some of the points now, with the remaining bonus points being awarded at a future date. Unfortunately the app doesn’t give you any way to easily track what you’re owed, so you’ll need to track that yourself to ensure they credit you the correct amount which is frustrating.
For deals where you earn bonus points rather than get an instant discount, make sure that the boosted rate is still showing in the app before each purchase you make. Popular deals often sell out quickly, so it would be a shame to buy at the standard earning rate. To check if it’s still available, tap the envelope icon in the middle of the menu bar at the bottom of the app and see if the deal is listed there. Sometimes it’ll sell out before Pepper Rewards actually sends out an email about the deal.
Seeing as with these deals you normally have to wait 2+ weeks to earn the bulk of the bonus points, be sure to evaluate your risk tolerance in case you don’t receive those payouts for one reason or another.
You can pay with an Amex Business Gold card to earn 4x Membership Rewards if this is one of your top two spending categories this billing period.
why is nobody talking about how crazy pants this situation is
Totally agree and definitely some cracks are showing with Pepper recently. The app is kinda a mess. Many of us were locked out last week for a good period of time. In addition, twice they have charged my card but the app crashed and they did not give me a gift card. You definitely need to monitor your transactions with them carefully. Customer service lines have also been jam packed recently.
I will say from a GC perspective I’d much rather a short lived 16% discount for Amazon v. 10% across the board. But as you say, its pretty crazy pants. We will see how long this gravy train lasts.
Agreed. I’ve dealt with orders not processing correctly but being charged anyway (I was refunded without any real issue), I’ve dealt with being locked out of the app, the app running slowly, and I hate that there is no “points transaction history” feature, so you really can’t track if they posted all the points properly. The wait from the time of the promo to actually receiving the points is concerning as well.
