I love the app. I've been using it for over a year and just recently started noticing that I have a TON of offers I claimed and they say expired. That is extremely frustrating considering I go the extra mile to use the app and I'm not receiving cash back every time. Also, if there is a deal for gas and we get to the gas station and it's cheaper than the app, we should be able to update that price and still get the same percentage off. Just my opinion.

I went into this app thinking it would lower your price at the pump, when actually it's a cash-back program. Those aren't really my thing, so I uninstalled the app and requested to delete my account. This took a while, as I had some technical errors, but support was very helpful and worked out a solution for me. I know "has good support" is a pretty low bar to clear for a five-star review, but those are the times we're living in!

Cashing out for the first time. So far, been saving up for about 8 months. only 2 gripes: Some stations started out offering several cents back, but now only 1¢ or nothing. Also, I wish I didn't have to switch back and forth between regular and premium to see the prices for each. My daily car takes regular, my classic muscle car takes premium. it's just one extra step that I have to take any time I need to gas up the fun car. (Tip - many loyalty programs do not affect the cash back from Upside!
