Uber and GetUpside are teaming up to make GetUpside’s fuel and convenience store promotions available to drivers and delivery people on the Uber platform across the United States.

Drivers can now download the GetUpside app to access gallon cash back on fills-up at the pump and to save inside convenience stores at over 30,000 U.S. locations, and the two companies have plans to grow the partnership in the coming months.

"We are constantly asking those who drive and deliver with Uber for their feedback on ways to improve the experience on the platform," said Carrol Chang, Head of Driver Operations for the U.S. & Canada at Uber. "Fuel and convenience store discounts were among the most requested, and we're thrilled to be able to incorporate driver feedback into this partnership, which will give them the access to save at the pump as well as in-store purchases they have told us they want."

“Rideshare and delivery drivers have provided essential services over the last year and a half, and have helped to get our communities moving again,” said Alex Kinnier, co-founder and CEO of GetUpside. “We are excited to partner with Uber to bring more value to those drivers while they're on the road, and to our merchant partners who will receive them.”
