Remember Pepper Rewards, the gift card app that was showering us with insane rebates on Amazon and Walmart gift cards back in 2024 and early 2025? Well, it looks like the party's over, and there's a financial firestorm brewing. Blackhawk Network, a major player in the gift card world, is suing Moocho (the company behind Pepper) for a whopping $67 million, claiming Moocho defaulted on a loan. Apparently, Moocho admitted they're winding down operations and owe even more money to other creditors. For those of us who took advantage of Pepper's crazy deals, this news isn't entirely surprising. They were offering double-digit rebates, sometimes even higher for heavy users through a "special portal." It felt too good to be true, and many wondered how it was sustainable. So, what does this mean for you? If you still have gift cards stored in the Pepper app, it's a good idea to download copies of your transactions and card details ASAP, just in case the app disappears. While it's unlikely you'll be able to redeem those cards through Pepper itself if the company goes under, having the info might help you make a claim elsewhere. It's a reminder that sometimes, even the sweetest deals come with a little risk!
