Don’t bother

Don’t waste your time on this app. Unless they’ve changed the system of how you submit receipts after the time they don’t even go through so you don’t even capture whatever little money you were going to get back. First of all they send you to gas stations that the price is higher than the surrounding gas stations so it’s not like you’re even saving any money. They advertise that you can get like two to $300. That would probably take you about 10 years, and again you’re paying a higher price at the gas stations they tell you to go to. So again, don’t waste your time with us.

Actually Worth It

Upside is actually pretty convenient. Not a scam. Honestly it’s just as simple as they say it is. Usually I’d ignore ads for something that says “Cash back” bc they’re all too complicated. I can usually cash out like once a month, but to me it’s just a $30-60 in free money for Amazon lol

Great app

I have saved over 300 in a year and I slacked sometimes on remembering to use it.

No brained

It’s like free money

Super simple

Really easy to use and understand
