If you're a fan of the old chips and soda combo (just Fritos and a Diet Pepsi for me, plz!), then you could soon be racking up some serious rewards. Pepsi announced a new program on Thursday that will give you cash back when you purchase your favorite snack and drink together.
The program is called PepCoin. The way it works is if you buy a Pepsi product and a Frito-Lay product within 48 hours of each other, you'll earn 10 percent cash back on your purchase.
Each product will be specially marked with a barcode for the rewards program. You can find the barcode on the inside of the drink's cap and on the front of the snack's bag. Once each are scanned on the site, you'll rack up your money. Once you reach $2, that money will be automatically deposited into your Venmo or PayPal account.
Yes, basically you're just being paid to eat and drink what you were probably already planning to. You just have to remember to scan them.
In case you're not up on your food and drink companies, it's not just Pepsi, Fritos, and Lay's that are eligible for PepCoin. You can get rewards for buying 70 different types PepsiCo drinks and Frito-Lay snacks. This includes stuff like SunChips, Cheetos, Mountain Dew, and a lot more. For all the info you need, you can visit PepCoin.com and create an account to get started.
