Get cash back when you shop in-store with Upside

Upside makes it easy to earn cash back every time you choose a participating gas station, grocery store, or restaurant. Unlike some cash back tools that only work for online shopping, Upside is built for in-person purchases for the things you need.

Here's exactly how it works.

How to earn cash back in-store

  1. Find nearby offers. Open the app to browse offers at participating gas stations, grocery stores, convenience stores, and restaurants near you.
  2. Claim the offer you want. Select the offer at the participating location you want to visit. Claiming the offer lets Upside know which purchase to track.
  3. Pay as usual. Shop as you normally would and pay with your usual debit or credit card. There’s no need to change your routine or use a special payment method.
  4. Receive cash back after the purchase is verified. Once the transaction is confirmed, cash back is added to your account.

A few tips to make the most of it

  • Check the app before you head out as offers and participating locations can vary by trip, so it's worth a quick look before you claim one.
  • Combine with your existing rewards — cash back on Upside can typically be used alongside store loyalty programs and credit card rewards on the same purchase.
  • Cash out any time — earned cash back can be transferred to your bank account or redeemed as a gift card.
