I use it, I've "made" $126 bucks since signing up. It's a plus for me, my company pays for my fuel so 30 or 40 bucks every few months helps pay for a date night or something. Free money.

I have it, and it has been very good for me. I was wondering how popular it is. Who has the app and has it saved you any money?


I’ve had it for years. I downloaded it when I was a field rep. I drove a F150 and would have to fill up almost daily. I always looked for stations that were paying .10 cents or better per gallon. And I got some of the other field reps to download and start using it. So I got paid on their gas as well. Back then I could make north of $50 a month in free money. That was my “model money”. I’d save up to about $75 - $100 and go to the hobby shop and buy some models.

I’m not in the field any longer. But I still have it and still make about .20 a day from the field reps. And I still usually fill up at least once a week. So I’m still making money that way, though not as fast as when I was a field rep. The best part of it all is I use a company fuel card. So, not only am I not actually paying for my gas, I’m getting paid to fill up my truck.

I do…

Circle K and Popeyes are the most used in my area. Domino’s usually like 20-25% back, but I hate their pizza.

I usually get about $150 a year, cash it out before we go on vacation for a little extra cash

Check out Acorns. It rounds up all of your purchases to the next dollar and puts it in an investment account. Ive had it 3 or 4 years and I have 2.5k built up that's made 10% so far.


Same here. I cannot believe how much I have in it. I only check it a couple of times a year.

I have an acquaintance that claims the stuff on Upside and then drives around to the places looking for recent receipts thrown away or in the machine.

MF is the hardest worker at trying not to work that I know.

5 years ago when I had a company truck and fuel card and travelled a lot for work I was cashing in about $100/month with upside. I still use it occasionally but like others have said, it doesn't really "save" you money on fuel since there's almost always cheaper fuel options even after the upside rebate. There are some good rebates on restaurants. Some areas are better than others.

It has to be linked to one of his cards though

Basically the same for me. My company pays for my fuel so I often look for the gas stations with the largest return and fuel up there. In my area I can always find between $.20 - $0.25 cash back per gallon.

Cashed out $700 around last December and bought my son a new rifle.


I always wondered how it worked. So it’s basically a money laundering app?
