Why not? It’s free and you have to get gasoline!

I love this app! I get to see where gas is affordable plus get money back for spending money on gas I had to get anyway! You can’t beat upside.. no spams or tricks.. try it!!

Would recommend

Honestly I was skeptical before I tried Upside but the cash back rewards add up fast. I also really enjoy the referral reward being 10¢ each time someone you refer uses the app instead of it just being a one-time bonus. The random extra cash back bonuses are also great.
