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.
I’d also recommend that you read this cautionary post.
Aren’t these earning only half of the posted percentages? For example, let’s say we’re buying a $100 CVS gift card at 20x, giving 20,000 points. For redeeming, 10,000 points = $5, so getting 20,000 points from CVS is worth only $10, so it’d be 10% back.
You earn 20 points per dollar as standard which is worth 1% back. For a deal that’s earning 20% back, that means you’ll be earning 400 points per dollar. Some of that is earned straight away, with the additional bonus points being awarded in a few weeks. It’s an annoyingly convoluted and confusing earning setup.
Wow. That’s mad. A structure only another Pepper can comprehend, then explain. Thanks
how do you access these deals? I don’t see it on the app.
Also, are these expected to stack with the 2x boost for new members?
If you tap on the envelop icon in the middle of the menu at the bottom of the app, you should see them listed there.
Unfortunately they don’t stack with the 2x boost for new members.
Odd the envelop icon just says no deals available haven’t ever seen anything there. Are these targeted?
