What is Upside?

Upside is a mobile app designed to help you save money on everyday expenses like gas, groceries, and dining out. By using Upside, you can earn cash-back rewards when you shop at participating stores. Getting started is simple: download the app, locate nearby businesses that are part of the program, select an offer, and pay using a linked credit or debit card. Once you've made your purchase, you'll receive cash-back rewards that can be redeemed for cash or gift cards.

This isn't the only way to make sure you're getting the best price on gas. Check out our tricks to save on gas.

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.
