UPSIDE app

[jetboatperformance]

Last Sunday we went to breakfast , my truck was on E so we tried the Upside app , It vectored us to the only Union 76 in Atascadero , after 32 gallons we proceded thru the app instuctions and waited .... @ the .50 cent per gallon the savings or rebate from upside was $15.00 (32 .5 gallons) ... So we wait and wait and finally contacted Upside with the WTF ??

Sheila R. (Upside) Sep 30, 2022, 14:26 ADT Hi there, Thanks for sending us the full copy of your receipt and we're sorry again for any trouble with your recent offer! The station you went to doesn't actually have an offer for the type of gas you purchased, which is what caused the issue. I know that this sounds very strange - no offer? But you claimed one! I know - it's a glitch in the app that we're currently trying to fix. I'm so sorry for the confusion. As long as you don't get that gas type at that station, this situation won't recur. Since there wasn't an existing offer for the gas type, we have no way to process the offer for that purchase. However, I've asked that you receive $0.01/gal of cash back for this offer in manual funds. You won't be notified once they hit your account, since they're manual, but you'll see your Upside balance change within three business days. In addition, I'm adding a $0.05/gal bonus to your account for your next processed offer. Again, I'm sorry for the issue here but I hope this helps! Best, Sheila R.

Works for me, I am closing in on $700 in 12 months, signed up last Oct.
Great app if someone else is paying the bill at the end of the month. The higher the $$$ per gallon savings is almost always at the higher priced gas stations.

One of my close friends drives a ton for work and is over $1,000 so far this year. When he told me about it I asked him how and he said he looks for the highest rebate and gets gas. He then said he doesn't care about the cost because he submits the receipts to his employer and gets reimbursed at the end of the month. I look at it as basically stealing from his employer by not looking for the lowest gas prices but he sees it a different way.

Agreed!
Guess I should have mentioned that it's basically a pyramid scheme, I get a penny per gallon for all my referrals and half a cent for there referrals.

At least they gave you an extra $0.05 on your next fill-up for your troubles.

Wow. Isnt it just easier to get rewards with one of the top tier credit cards?

I get it though, every dollar helps these days. Whats the spin on this app? Do they show ads? Do the gas stations pay them to be top of list?

The nice part is… it’s whatever credit card. It chargers the credit card full price. So you get your points or whatever. If it’s a .12 cent a gallon rebate… it goes into your upside app account. No advertisement and the “rebate” changes all the time. I see a penny and I have got .25 cents. You can lock in the deal for 4 hours. If it’s a great deal, 15 or more, I lock it.

I have no idea how it works with the stations, or who sets the rebate amount. I compare the end price with my GasBuddy app. So it’s not always the best price, many times I don’t use it.
