What is the downside of GetUpside?

The biggest downside is that GetUpside does not work with cash. You must pay with a debit or credit card to earn cash back. That’s not a major problem overall considering that you can earn up to 25¢ back on every gallon of gas you purchase.

What is the catch with the Upside app?

There’s legitimately no catch with the GetUpside app — it’s not a scam. GetUpside is able to offer cash back because they partner with local businesses and gas stations that pay them a fee when a customer makes a purchase because of GetUpside.

How does GetUpside make money?

Businesses pay GetUpside an affiliate commission (or referral fee) whenever a customer makes a purchase. GetUpside shares a portion of that fee with the user, which is how you earn cashback.
