With its app offering rewards on purchases, GetUpside is offering promotions at gas stations around the country, said COO Wayne Lin. The D.C. startup is available at gas stations in 29 cities in 13 states.
The company partners with local businesses to offer deals through the app, functioning as a marketing campaign. Through the promotions, the app provides cash back deposits on a purchase that is then cashed out through PayPal and digital gift cards. Now, the app is at more than 5,000 locations. Lin said the startup provided $6.9 million in savings through its deals, and has 1 million registered users.
