Pepper Rewards Announces Upcoming Gift Card Bonus Offers

by Kyle BurbankMar 21, 2024

The gift card rebate app Pepper has announced a slate of upcoming offers — in addition to their everyday rewards.

About Pepper’s current and upcoming offers:

In celebration of March Madness (and beyond), Pepper Rewards is offering special limited-time discounts on gift cards from select brands. These particular deals are instant savings, meaning that users can essentially purchase discounted gift cards. For example, a current Jersey Mike’s promotion will allow Pepper customers to buy a $25 gift card for $20.

Here’s a look at Pepper’s upcoming deals and dates:

Moe’s Southwest Grill: Spend $25+, Get $7 Off Instantly (3/19 through 3/21)
Jersey Mike’s: Spend $25, Get $5 Off Instantly (3/20 through 3/22)
Uber: 10% instant off (3/21 through 3/24)
Uber Eats: 10% instant off (3/21 through 3/24)
Auntie Anne’s: Spend $25+, Get $7 Off Instantly (3/21 through 3/23)
Cinnabon: Spend $25+, Get $7 Off Instantly (3/27 through 3/29)
Jamba Juice: Spend $25+, Get $7 Off Instantly (3/27 through 3/30)
Instacart: 10% off instantly (3/25 through 3/31)
Doordash: 10% off instantly (4/5 through 4/8)

In addition to these deals, users will continue to earn 5% back on the paid portion of gift card purchases. So, if a user takes advantage of the $25 Jersey Mike’s gift card for $20 deal, they’ll earn 4 Pepper Points — worth $1 toward a future gift card purchase.

Note that these deals have a limit of 1 per person.

Referral bonus:

For a limited time, Pepper is also offering a special referral bonus. First, when customers refer friends to the app and those referred make purchases totaling at least $100 within 15 days of signing up, the referrer will earn a $20 bonus in their Pepper account. Additionally, the person being referred will earn double Points on purchases made within their first 15 days. This means that new customers referred to the app can effectively earn 10% back on gift card purchases.

Those interested in trying Pepper Rewards can use Fioney’s referral code when signing up: 587870

About Pepper Rewards:

Pepper Rewards is a gift card marketplace that offers rebates on purchases. By default, customers will earn 5% back in the form of Points. These points can then be used to purchase gift cards in the app (in increments of $5). Brands featured on Pepper include Amazon, Sam’s Club, Lowe’s Ulta, Target, and many more.

My thoughts:

If you couldn’t tell from my review, I’ve become a huge fan of Pepper Rewards in a short period of time. And while I worried that the app wouldn’t stay as hot, it’s proven me wrong so far by continuing to add money-saving features to the app. All in all, I’m even more excited about seeing where the app goes from here.
