But it's a very frustrating app to use. The app works fine until it's time to actually prove to it that you filled up at the gas station with the offer you “claimed”. The app instructs you to tap a button that doesn't exist on the screen in order to “arrive" at the gas station. So I looked it up online and people say you have to log out and log back in. Then it prompts you with the option to "upload receipt” which is what I do. But now the scanning technology which scans your receipt on the app doesn't work anymore! So I have to upload a pic instead. Logging out and logging back in after you've claimed your offer is what makes it eventually work, but not every time. Sometimes I have to wait a few hours after I've completed the transaction before logging out and logging back in will prompt the option to "upload receipt", which appears to be the only way I can prove to Upside I completed the transaction. It always works eventually, and I've saved $40 so far so that really is nice, but the app is buggy and has these issues. I really hope they fix it, it would be a dream to have this app finally just be smooth throughout the whole experience. But as of now it is a chore, they do make you work a bit for the savings.

Bait and switch
I was offered a discount of 15 cents per gallon at a shell gas station. I also had another 10 cent per gallon bonus that was to be applied to this purchase. When I got the cash back they changed the offer to 1 cent and said this was because I received 5 cents off for my shell card. The thing is I only received 11 cents per gallon back from upside when I would have received 25 cents had I not used my shell card. They say the maximum amount that would be deducted is the 5 cents per gallon but then how did it drop all the way to 11 cents per gallon? That’s lower then my original offer by itself, and half what I should have received with my bonus. They basically used my bonus to pay the cash back that I was originally offered which is so shady and scammy. There’s a name for this exact practice and it’s called bait and switch. I decided to report this situation to the BBB and recommend everybody does for these illegal business practices. Also one time I drove super far to a gas station to use upside, just to realize that the price at the gas station was significantly higher then what they had listed. Everything about this app is scammy and they also collect a ton of information from you.
