Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 923 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers genuinely appreciate how remarkably easy it is to navigate the mobile reward application and earn valuable cash back on everyday purchases. People frequently highlight that the customer service team is extremely helpful, responsive, and always quick to resolve any minor account issues.

A few reviewers were dissatisfied with frustrating delays, unhelpful chat bots, or unexpected complications when trying to redeem and cash out their accumulated reward balances.

Upside should be more honest about your refund. I’ll look at the app before I get to the gas station it will say 10 cent back per gallon , but when you get there it drops to 4 cents a gallon. When you pay through your Apple Pay it doesn’t recognize your purchase cause I’ve been waiting 17 days for 10 cents a gallon on a 72.00 purchase that o still haven’t received.

We appreciate you sharing your experience with us. Offer amounts can sometimes adjust based on real-time location updates, but waiting that long for a cash back claim is certainly not ideal. Please reach out to our support team directly so they can look into your account and get this sorted out for you.

It’s a great opportunity to save a little bit every time I go out for dining or fill up my car. Every little bit adds up, and I’ve already saved over $200.

Upside has been flawless!

Upside has been flawless!! I earned over $300 cash back in the past year!! How can anyone rate Upside any less than 5 starts?!? Customer service has also been excellent - even when I've messed up, they've resolved issues I created for myself. Couldn't be happier .

Cashback issue resolved promptly!

I made a gas claim late and Upside couldn't find it, so they delayed my cashback. After 10 days I contacted Support and they promptly resolved my issue. In the past year I have gotten $100 in gas cashback and I had yet to use it with other purchases.

I made a purchase at a retailer that…was offering a 20% cash back.

I made a purchase at a retailer that was offering 20% cash back. I used a physical card not my usual digital card. Upside denied the cash back but when I contacted them and explained they were the same account that had different last four digits and uploaded my receipt they processed the cash back offer of 20%. I am grateful that Upside responds to requests from consumers.

It's the best way to save money on gas

It's the best way to save money on gas, which is so important with gas prices as high as they are. I can easily compare gas prices at area stations. I have saved money at Kroger too.

The chat feature has always helped me quickly, when I have any problems. If the issue needs to be known by customer service, the chat sends them a message. I get an email right away with a “ticket number” saying they will get it solved. And they do solve it, whether it be my fault or not. I do make mistakes of my own. Either way it is great to get an answer.

Terrible customer support

Terrible customer support, you used to be able to get help from a real person, but they replaced all their help with bots. I'd recommended different cashback sites over this one, its options are slim and it takes a long time to cash out.

Since I have been using Upside

Since I have been using Upside, I've earned over $1,400.00. I use with my work truck and sometimes I'll fill up 3 times in a day. And with my personal vehicle, maybe twice a week.

The few times that I have had an issue. Upside has taken care of the problem real quick. And most of those has been due to a dirty lens on my camera.
