So here's my honest take on Upside: Cash Back - Gas & Food. I've tested a bunch of these cash back apps and this one's pretty solid. The cash back rates are decent, especially on gas, and it's super easy to use. And the fact that you can just link your existing cards and don't have to mess with loyalty programs or anything is a big plus. But the app can be a little buggy at times, and the earnings do max out at a certain point. Overall though, it's a great way to save a few bucks on your everyday spending.

Description

Been using Upside: Cash Back – Gas & Food for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that gives you cash back when you buy gas, groceries, and food at participating places. Pretty solid if you’re into saving money on your everyday purchases.

Here’s what you do: you just link your debit or credit cards, then when you shop at one of the 100,000+ partner locations, you’ll get anywhere from 2-25 cents cash back per gallon on gas, or 5-15% back on groceries and dining. There’s also a referral program where you can earn extra if your friends sign up. And you can cash out your earnings straight to your bank account or as gift cards.

Look, if you drive a lot or do a decent amount of grocery shopping and eating out, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the app can be a little glitchy sometimes – but overall it does the job of getting you some easy cash back. Worth checking out.
