    Hey Columbus, it’s your CBUStoday team here, feeling financially savvier than ever after earning 10% cash back at our local Giant Eagle with Upside.

    Here’s how our shopping trip went:

    What we tried

    After downloading the free app with a tap, the personalized cashback offers started rolling from nearby businesses.

    All we had to do was choose deals + start earning.

    How it works

    Upside partners with 45,000+ bizes nationwide to make the cashback process seamless + hassle-free (read: no hoops to jump through.)

    At Giant Eagle, we didn’t even have to scan our receipts. We just made our usual purchases and watched as the cashback was automatically added to our account.

    The whole thing took less than 90 seconds, and the cashback was redeemable within 48 hours.

    What we’re still talking about

    The user-friendly experience. The Upside app is clean and easy to navigate, and regular users earn an average of $280 per year just by using the app at spots they already visit.
