What is Upside?
Upside is an app that helps you save on everyday expenses like gas, groceries, and dining. Shop at participating locations to earn cash-back rewards, which can be redeemed for cash or gift cards.
The fine print:
Bottom-line cost: The Upside app is free to download. You won’t pay anything more than what you normally would for gas. No payment is necessary to use the app or to receive your cash-back rewards.
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 then redeem your cash-back rewards for cash or gift cards.
Is the Upside app a subscription?
No, Upside isn’t a subscription service, so there’s no need to cancel.
Earning cash-back rewards on purchases you already have to make is a seamless way to maximize savings with minimal effort. KCL has curated a list of the best credit cards for online shopping to earn more rewards.
