The fine print:
Bottom-line cost: You won't pay anything beyond your normal gas purchases — no payment is necessary for the app.
How do I get my cash back? Once your gas purchase is confirmed by Upside, the cash-back reward will be credited to your account in the app. You can redeem your cash-back rewards for cash or gift cards, or let them accumulate over time.
Do I need to cancel? No, there's no need to cancel, since it's not a subscription service.
