Frequently asked questions

How does Upside work for grocery shopping?

It’s pretty simple: open the Upside app, find a grocery store near you with an offer, and claim it before you shop. Then shop like normal, follow the steps in the app (usually uploading a receipt), and you’ll get cash back added to your account.

Can I use Upside at any grocery store?

Not all stores are included, but a lot are. Just open the app to see which grocery stores in your area are offering cash back deals.

What do I need to do to earn cash back?

Once you’ve claimed an offer, you’ll either upload your receipt after shopping or pay with a linked card - Upside will tell you what to do. Then they’ll track your purchase and send you the cash back.

How long does it take to get my cash back?

You’ll usually see your cash back show up within a few days. It can take a little longer depending on the store, but the app keeps you updated so you’re not left guessing.

Is there a limit to how much I can earn?

Each offer is a bit different - some have a max cash back amount or certain items that qualify. Just tap into the offer details in the app before you shop so you know what to expect.
