Deal Alert
Welcome to our first Deal Alert of 2024, where we jump straight to specific deal or offer that’s good enough to warrant hitting send. Enter Pepper a new app for purchasing discounted gift cards to major retailers like those shown above; Amazon, Walmart, Lowe’s, Home Depot and more. If you only have 30 seconds, download the app and use referral code 585729 for most of the value. If you want to optimize further, continue reading…
Ok, so what?
Gift cards aren’t exciting on their own, but Pepper rewards users 5% back in the form of it’s own rewards currency that can redeemed for future gift cards. So a purchase of $100 gift card at Amazon earns you $5 in rewards which you can immediately redeem for another $5 gift card to Amazon. $100 in spend = $105 in Amazon credits.
But wait, there’s more…
New users who sign up with a referral code, receive an extra $20 in rewards after they spend $100. Furthermore, they’ve doubled the bonus from 5% back to 10% back over your first 30 days if you sign up before February 15, 2024. Meaning, your first $100 spent on Pepper will yield you $130 of gift cards.
While the 5% (currently 10% bonus) back is instant, I’ll note that the referral bonus takes about 30 days to post. In order to qualify be sure to use a referral code, and if you want to support us, use code: 585729.
You said $130+, where’s the + come into play?
Correct, Pepper is already being mentioned across various travel and credit card blogs, so let’s make it extra spicy:
Level 0: Sign up without a referral ($100 spent = $110 gift card)
Level 1: Sign up with our referral 585729 ($100 spent = $130 gift card)
Level 2: Referral + use a card that earns 2x everywhere so you earn the $30 bonus and 260 points (vs 130 points).
Advanced only…
Level 3: Referral + pay for the gift card with a gift card…
For example, Staples is currently offering $200 gift cards with no activation fee (ends today). You can try to use them directly on Pepper, or if you’re having trouble you can load them onto Kasheesh to generate a card for Pepper.
If you’re earning 5x points at Staples, you’d end up earning 650 points instead of 130 by purchasing with a gift card. While Kasheesh has a 2% fee, it’s also helpful to combine $200 gift cards for a larger purchase on Pepper.
9.30% cashback on everything!

Featured Card: Capital One® Spark® Miles for Business
Spark Miles is basically the business version of the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card. The two cards earn the same exact points, which can be redeemed for any form of travel or transferred to a handful of travel partners.
This card is very simple, earning a flat 2x miles on all purchases with the occasional bonus category.
The points can transfer to a handful of airline partners or be redeemed to “erase” any travel purchase at a value of 1 cent per point.
Earn a one-time bonus of 50,000 miles – equal to $500 in travel – once you spend $4,500 on purchases within the first 3 months from account opening.
Annual fee of $95 is waived for the first year.
Up to $100 credit for Global Entry or TSA Pre-check.
