Pepper app resolves issue paying with Amex cards

Earlier this week, some users reported that American Express was blocking transactions from the Pepper app, but we’ve since heard that the issue with paying via Amex card has been resolved.

A few days ago, Pepper users were reportedly getting an error message when trying to buy gift cards saying that their transactions had been declined by the issuer. The problem had been limited to Amex cards and apparently all Amex cards were being declined.

On the one hand, that’s a surprising development given the fact that there was an Amex Offer for Pepper transactions that ended just a few days ago, but on the other hand it seemed like it could have been within the realm of possibility that Amex would block gift card transactions.

The good news is that we’ve since heard that the issue has been resolved and that Amex cards are once again working for purchases via Pepper. It seems like this was likely a temporary glitch that has been resolved and it seemed worth a quick alert to any readers whose transactions had been declined earlier in the week.
