Upside App Review – Get Cash Back On Your Gas Purchases

In this Upside app review, I’m sharing with you how you can download and start using this app today to get back a portion of what you are spending on gas as well as groceries and restaurant purchases.

I’ve used this successfully and been paid (payment proof posted below).

I’m sure you’re aware that gas prices are through the roof right now, and it doesn’t appear that they will be going back down anytime soon.

Like most of us, you may be trying to save a little on gas in the ways you can — finding the cheapest prices, carpooling, public transportation, or even walking when you live close enough that that makes sense. And these are all smart methods!

I wanted to mention it because it’s a way to put some of the money you’re spending on gas back in your pocket, and I know we could all use that right now.

This is one of the better cash back apps I’ve come across in quite a long time!

What is Upside?

Upside is a free app you can download on your iPhone or Android device to earn cash back on gas, grocery, and restaurant purchases at participating locations. I mainly use it for gas.

Where can you use Upside?

You can open the app to see which gas stations, grocery stores, and restaurants near you are taking part. The offers can change, so it’s worth checking before you head out.

I’ve had no issues finding places that work with the app in my area, but what you see will depend on where you live.

How do you use Upside?

To use the app, you can download it, look for an offer near you, and claim that offer before you make your purchase.

You then pay with your credit or debit card and follow the steps in the app to verify what you bought. Depending on the offer, this may include uploading a photo of your receipt. Cash payments won’t qualify for the cash back, unfortunately.

After your purchase is approved, the cash back is added to your Upside account. The amount will depend on the offer you claimed. You still pay the regular price at the register, and the cash back comes afterward.

How do you cash out your earnings with Upside?

You can cash out to your bank account or choose a gift card. Upside no longer offers PayPal payments.

For a bank transfer, you need at least $1.01 in your account. There is a $1 fee if you cash out less than $10, so you can avoid that fee by waiting until you have at least $10.

Gift cards have their own minimums. Most start at $10, although some require more. You can see the amount needed for the card you want in the app.

Just so you know, cashing out doesn’t mean the money arrives immediately. Gift cards can take up to 48 hours, and bank transfers can take up to seven business days.
