What is Upside?

Upside partners with gas stations, restaurants, and grocery stores to offer real cash back, paid out via PayPal, bank transfer, or gift cards. You claim a deal in the app before you pay.

How to claim the bonus

  1. Download Upside and sign up with code 23T8WA.
  2. Check the map for participating gas stations, restaurants, or grocery stores near you.
  3. Claim the deal in-app before you pay at the register or pump.
  4. Submit your receipt or use a linked card to confirm the purchase and unlock cash back.

✅ What’s genuinely good

  • Cash is withdrawable, not just points or gift-card credit
  • Large network of participating gas stations in most US metro areas
  • No markup on the price you actually pay at the pump

👀 Keep in mind

  • Only works at participating locations — check the app’s map for your area before expecting it everywhere
  • The 15¢/gallon and 10% rates apply to your first qualifying purchase; ongoing rates are typically lower
  • Requires either a linked card or a receipt scan every time to get credit
Being real with you

Best used as a habit for gas you’re already buying, not a way to change your spending. The bonus rate is front-loaded on your first purchase.

Questions people ask

No — coverage depends on which merchants in your area participate. Check the map in the app before assuming a specific station is included.
