When that happens you can either make a new account or just stop using it for a couple of months. When you come back the rewards will be back up again ### 4/5 — Needs some more functionality *2026-08-25, version 26.24.0* There needs to be a way to report bad offers that don’t work. I’ve had three times now at Sunoco stations that the cash back doesn’t get processed. These offers need to be removed from the app. Likely others have had similar issues. ### 5/5 — Smart Saving *2026-08-25, version 26.24.0* It hasn’t been easier to approach stations, direct the pump and credit my account! Thanks for making it easy to deal with these extreme inflationary times!💕 ### 5/5 — Muy buenas *2026-08-25, version 26.24.0* Buenas muy efectiva ### 5/5 — Muy buena *2026-08-24, version 26.24.0* 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 ### 5/5 — 👏🏻 *2026-08-24, version 26.24.0* Excelente aplicación, muy fácil de usar ### 5/5 — Decent Cashback App *2026-08-24, version 26.24.0* I have had this for several years & really haven’t made as much as advertised. But is nice for a back up “rainy day” deal. ### 5/5 — Pastor *2026-08-24, version 26.24.0* Great way to get a discount on gas and other food items. ### 5/5 — Its True!! *2026-08-24, version 26.24.0* Its True!! Upside is a great way to save some money. With gas prices these days. Sometimes I don’t know what to expect! Now I know I earn money back every-time I purchase gas! Thanks upside! ### 5/5 — I made $14 buying gas I would’ve bought anyways! *2026-08-24, version 26.24.0* I just deposited $14 in my bank account from the Upside app simply by buying gas II would’ve bought to fill up my car anyways and hitting the “claim” button in the Upside app when I was done! Totally worth it! ### 5/5 — Legit *2026-08-24, version 26.24.0* I was kinda worried putting cards on here but it’s legit…pretty decent amount of money in if you refuel regularly I am getting 30-40 a week..cool app you can also continue to get speedway point and other rewards! ### 4/5 — Cash *2026-08-24, version 26.24.0* A nickel saved is a nickel earned! You can take that to the bank. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-23, version 26.24.0* Such a great way to recoup some extra savings! This is legit ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t be fooled *2026-08-26, version 26.25.0* I downloaded this app in June of 2021 and use it every time I go to put gas. I have only earned about $34. And that was getting 25 cents with my first two fills. It is not like it says in the commercials. If I could insert a screenshot I would. I can only guess that maybe you get more if you use it when you make purchases inside but then are you really getting money back if you double for a soda or bag of chips. I don’t think so. ### 1/5 — Terminated account *2026-08-26, version 26.25.0* Be careful with upside they don’t pay out big amounts and will call fraud on you and terminate your account. They won’t let you provide proof of purchases. They dont respond back to your emails. ### 1/5 — The people need pay pal *2026-08-25, version 26.24.0* Bring back pay pal ### 1/5 — Won’t even load *2026-08-24, version 26.24.0* The app will not load at all. Anytime I’ve tried to use it. It’s so annoying because I would use it all the time if it would just freaking work! ### 1/5 — Never loads *2026-08-24, version 26.24.0* I have deleted and downloaded the app multiple times and it still says it can’t process the request. ### 1/5 — App never works *2026-08-24, version 26.24.0* I can be on quantum fiber wifi and app won’t load ### 1/5 — App stopped working *2026-08-24, version 26.24.0* I’ve used this app for the last 4 years and loved it until it just stopped working. I made sure it’s up to date and it doesn’t load anything. No account info, no balance, no offers, nothing. I had money on my account balance and I guess it’s gone because the app hasn’t worked in almost a month now. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Fraud *2026-08-23, version 26.24.0* This app is totally fraud. When you’ll try to cash out they’ll Block your account. ### 1/5 — App has not been working for weeks *2026-08-23, version 26.24.0* This app hasn't been working for weeks. It keeps flashing and says try again later. It sucks now ### 1/5 — Took PayPal Away!!! *2026-08-23, version 26.24.0* Used this since they started and as of 8-21-2026 the PayPal cash out option is gone!!! Why??? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Luv the cash back *2026-08-26, version 26.25.0* I have been using the app for over a year. The funds I get are mostly used to treat myself to purchases I don’t make trying to watch my spending! So yeah, coffee and fast food. ### 5/5 — Very easy to use upside!!!!!! *2026-08-26, version 26.25.0* Very user friendly! It's a no brainer! ### 5/5 — Lovely *2026-08-26, version 26.25.0* Great way to easy make basically free money back when spending money you have to spend anyway ### 5/5 — Upstart *2026-08-25, version 26.25.0* Awesome ### 5/5 — Not scam or trick *2026-08-25, version 26.25.0* You actually do get cash back it’s not one of those you get a gift card or you have to do more you can click redeem and goes straight to your account. ### 5/5 — 👍 *2026-08-25, version 26.25.0* La mejor app me encanta ### 5/5 — Easy day *2026-08-25, version 26.25.0* Super easy to use! ### 5/5 — Download this ASAP *2026-08-25, version 26.25.0* As a sahm this is a true life saver. A person who stays shopping at Kroger definitely makes me happy after every trip knowing I’ll get some % back in cash! ### 5/5 — A great way to save a little extra money. *2026-08-25, version 26.24.0* In 6 months I’ve saved a little over $40 and with my balance, I have claimed gift cards in which they have a wide variety to choose from. No hassles. Click on the app each time, fill up as normal and save money. It’s easy. ### 5/5 — Free money *2026-08-25, version 26.24.0* It is beyond me why someone would not use an app like this. It allows you to stack credit card rewards, grocery store rewards, and add to that cash back! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
