This is such a waste of time just to sign up. There are a lot of gas offers but the restaurants are exactly the same as the restaurants in T-Mobile Dining Rewards. There are only 6 total restaurants to choose from. There are no grocery stores available in my area too. Check the offers before you bother adding payment methods. It's a total waste at least for my area.

New review, with commentary this time! I liked this app.. now, it's starting to piss me off more often than not. Qualifying purchases seem to process without issue lately (previously expired or dismissed often in app Activity log). Inaccurate prices are practically CONSTANT now, why should I keep using YOUR app when I have to cross reference GasBuddy, Google Maps, or someone else to verify YOU have the right price and deal on a given gas station? What happened to the 'last updated' pricing?

Hi there! Regarding the gas price, you can report inaccuracies in gas prices in this article: https://support.upside.com/hc/en-us/articles/219499587. Note: When you use Upside, the offer is for cash back per gallon of gas, but the gas prices are displayed as a guide, and are not intended to serve as any indication of an additional discount.

The last two updates have made this app almost unusable. What's the point of having a primary payment method if I have to switch to that method every time, because it isn't the method that comes up as the first option. (That was two updates ago). The most recent update has made it so that I can't even use my linked payment method, instead, I have to upload a receipt every time. (At least I can upload receipts again though). I'll still use the app, because I still get free money.
